This rubber excels at control and spin, but honestly it doesn't have much bounce and the speed is nothing special either.
But that's exactly why blocks land cleanly on the table and you get fewer overshooting pushes.
In other words, it lets you play a low-error style of table tennis.
I said it doesn't bounce much, but if you swing through properly you still get a baseline amount of speed, so as long as you attack the right courses you'll be fine.
The spin is quite strong, so your serve becomes a real weapon.Of course, ideally you'd improve, use a bouncy tension rubber, keep your short game stable, and take points by attacking on your own initiative.
But if too much bounce makes your short game unstable and lets your opponent take the initiative, or you're overshooting a lot of drives and smashes, winning matches gets tough.This assumes you're playing close to the table, but even though this rubber's overall stats fall short of a tension rubber, I think it's an easy rubber to win matches with.
Especially recommended for beginner-to-intermediate players still building their skills, and for the backhand of penhold pips players.

I've been playing penhold with pips for about 5 years.
It's been about half a year since I switched over from Glaze OX.My impression is that it's somewhere between the Curl P3 and P1.
When you stop the ball it stops firmly, and for long pips the shot form stays pretty stable.
The sharpness of chop-blocks is also top notch.
Pushes are slower than with Glaze, but I think for a one-ply pips rubber this is about right for pushing.
The variation is a bit so-so.
There are moments where the change from group play is especially strong, but it can get tough if it turns into a game of just touching the ball without varying anything.
That said, I personally find it easy to vary between knuckle blocks and chop blocks, so if you want to use differences in spin amount rather than wobbly variation, I'd recommend it.Other than that, I personally feel that snappy forehand hitting is easy to do with this.
Also, the grip on the ball feels good for a pips rubber.Overall, I'd call it an upgrade over the P3.
Recommended for anyone who wants an all-round game with no weak points in any technique, and for penhold pips players who like to take the initiative themselves.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
