    It's just easy to use, period. On top of that, I think it has the power to punch through and the strength to not lose out in exchanges!
    It seems to match with pretty much any rubber. The feel isn't too hard or too soft. It's a bit on the mellow side. It's not specialized for speed or spin, and in a good way, it's kind of unremarkable. I think that's probably the secret to why it scores well across the board.

  • SAMSONOV FORCE PRO BLACK EDITION

    User review

    First, I was surprised by how thick the grip was. I bought the AN grip. It settles into your hand nicely and is easy to hold, but it was just too thick, so I sanded it down quite a bit.
    The feel is soft and the ball grip is amazing. It doesn't feel like a 7-ply at all. The difference from a 5-ply is the extra distance and the strength that doesn't lose out to hard hits.
    Blocking and countering are super stable. Drives feel great — you really grip the ball before it flies off. The short game is as easy as with a 5-ply.
    Rather than a 7-ply that attacks aggressively with a fast initial speed and heavy shots, I think this is a blade that lets you play more like Samsonov — breaking the opponent down with the short game and blocks and attacking from there.

  • PLAXON 400

    User review

    I used the 1.8mm on my backhand.
    It's not that it doesn't spin at all, but I don't feel like it's easy to put spin on. Letting the ball sink in and snapping it gave good shots.
    Compared to the 350, it has more power but feels harder to handle. It still pops up on the short game, same as before.
    I didn't feel anything special about the 400 compared to it.
    It might be good for players who attack hard with backhand hits though.

  • Rakza X Soft

    User review

    It has a moderate hardness that makes it easy to use on both forehand and backhand.
    The grip is high, and it really lifts the ball and lets it sink in. The arc is very stable and easy to keep on the table. It has plenty of spin and distance too — it's a rubber that makes you feel like you've gotten better.
    The unfortunate part is that it doesn't last very long, and it suddenly starts slipping.

    I used the 2.1mm on my forehand. It's harder than the Select, and when you get a full swing in it has real power. The ball comes through sharp and low, which seems hard for opponents to handle — that's probably the main benefit of this rubber.
    That said, it's not exactly easy to use, so a half-hearted swing often turns into a straight, spinless ball. The Select is more forgiving in that regard.
    Also, maybe because it's a thin rubber, the serves and short game are excellent. It just never floats. The spin is decent, and it's hard to get smashed, so it's fairly easy to build your own rallies.
    It's not a rubber that feels exhilarating — it's actually pretty demanding. But if you can master it, I think it becomes a nasty rubber that opponents have a hard time handling.
