    - High arc, easy to lift underspin balls
    - Long lasting
    - Pushes bite well
    - Good ball-holding feel

    This rubber is often classified as "hard," but it's easy to sink the ball into the top sheet, so you can produce a high arc.
    Both the height of the arc and how easily it lifts underspin are better than Rakza X.

    Unlike Tenergy or V>15, it doesn't have that feeling of spin grabbing on its own, so you can hit the ball exactly the way you intend.

    Also, among the pricier tension rubbers in this price range, its durability is top class.

    Both the topsheet and sponge are on the soft side, and the topsheet grips the ball really well.
    At first glance, you might mistake it for a spin-oriented short pips rubber.

    But the ball sinks in quickly and pops back out quickly, so the trajectory is straight and clearly different from spin-oriented rubbers like Booster SA.
    It might be a bit much for the forehand on a penhold or shakehand racket.

    When you're the one attacking, it's hard to produce much of a knuckle ball, but oddly enough, light shots like blocks and short pushes do produce them.

    Because it grips the ball so well, serves bite nicely and drives take spin too.

    It's famous for being used by Mima Ito, and true to her style, it's easy to do a variety of techniques with it, like driving or hitting flat.

    That said, given its trajectory, it's a bit demanding for the forehand in terms of stability, so it's really best suited for the shakehand backhand.

    Experienced players with a solid foundation can use it even as short pips beginners, but
    if you're a complete table tennis beginner starting out with short pips, Hammond or Spectol would probably be a better choice than Moristo.

    It's heavy.

    Because of the weight, the block stability is really something to note.
    Whether forehand or backhand, if you just get the racket on the ball, it comes back.

    Meeting the ball is definitely easy.
    Rather than a quick angled tap, it feels more like you lay the ball on the racket and drive it through with the racket's own weight.

    As a test, I put Spectol 21 on it, but that was a miss.
    Even hitting hard, there's no flex and the blade doesn't give at all, so the image is that only the rubber gets squeezed hard.
    The ball reaches the wood right away, and it sinks in so much that, despite being a Spectol, no knuckle effect came out.
    In exchange, there was good stability, but...

    With short pips, you probably need a harder one for any real variation to come through.

    If anything, even a variation-type short pips gains more stability on this and feels like a blade you could just keep hammering away with... though I guess that's the whole point of this blade in the first place (lol).

    It holds the ball with a "flex" like a 5-ply blade,
    while still giving you the small, near-straight arc trajectory typical of a 7-ply.

    The speed doesn't reach outer-material blade levels, but it bounces about as much as an inner-material blade.
    For an all-wood blade, that's plenty of bounce.

    If you find this "not enough," you must be a pretty serious advanced player.

    At the very least, unless you're placing near the top at the prefectural tournament level in middle school, I don't think you'd find this blade "not enough."

    Power, feel, ease of use —

    it really is the kind of blade you'd call the "gold standard."

    The flared handle has a somewhat angular grip. Maybe it's meant to evoke the Timo Boll ALC?
    It's the kind of thing that splits opinion.

    On the other hand, the straight handle is oval-shaped, so it feels quite easy to grip.


    Easy to use, and it delivers power.

    It spins easily for how much bounce it has.


    Given that it's even been used by members of the Japan national team, it's hard to believe the list price is under 6,000 yen.

    That said, don't mistake "cheap" for "beginner-friendly" — it isn't.
    I'd say it's more for your second blade onward, once you've got the basics down.

    It is soft, but only compared to the Catel (Regular).

    By feel, it seems to be around 43-45 degrees, similar to other companies' rubbers like Fastarc C1 or Ventus Speed.
    It's a rubber that works well enough for men on the forehand.

    Since the ball sinks in and gets launched, it feels easier to generate speed with than the Catel Regular.

    The surface has a slight tack, same as the Regular.
    It's a sheet that grips really well for the short game and for serves.


    It felt like a rubber that took the grip of the Vega Japan surface and boosted it with a bit of tackiness.
