Used on a penhold blade with 1.8mm, short pips.
Back in my student days I used it with speed glue and it was too soft, no good.
I assumed it had been discontinued, but then I found it again. Paired it with a 7-ply blade.[Overall]
It's on the softer side among short pips rubbers, but it has a wonderfully firm feel to it. Light shots don't fly much, but swing hard and it's fast. It gives you a wider range of play than celluloid-style short pips. Even with a slightly closed racket angle, it feels like you can use the sweet spot to the fullest.[Speed]
The stability on angled shots against backspin is outstanding. It flies fairly straight but with a bit of an arc, so it's easy to aim for the end line.[Spin]
Low, high-spin loop drives become a real weapon. A closed-racket speed drive also has good power.[Knuckle]
A normal hit doesn't produce one. But if you loop the ball up and then punch it in, you get a real dead knuckleball. Surprising for horizontal pips.[Serve]
It bites the ball incredibly well. Even long serves get topspin, so the speed is excellent.[Receive, short game]
For some reason it's a little slippery, which gives it great stability and it's affected by the opponent's spin less than you'd expect. Stops and flicks are very easy.[Weaknesses]
If you try to hit like you would with a Vo102 or SA — expecting power even off the table — the ball won't clear the net. This is really a close-to-the-table, fast-attack rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
