    This is a follow-up review.
    I also bought a Spin Ace Carbon, and comparing it with the WFS Rotor I already had, I've come to realize this blade actually has the most bounce of the three. I hadn't noticed before because I had different rubbers on each one. It was surprising that this plain 5-ply blade bounces the most, even though the other two use special materials. That said, because of how the plies are built, the sweet spot feels narrower than the other two.
    Now that the state of emergency has ended and I'm back to practicing, I'll use it more and review it again.

  • SPINATE

    User review

    Back when I played actively, I used short pips, but after getting back into table tennis I used inverted rubber for a while before switching back to short pips.
    Worried I'd end up netting a lot of shots, I went with Spinart, a horizontal-pip, spin-oriented rubber. After a bit of practice the net mistakes went away — my arm technique is part of it too, but if anything I now overhit more often than I net. It handles similarly to inverted rubber, so I'd recommend it to anyone thinking about making the switch.
    The sponge is speed-oriented and lets the ball go quickly, so if you graze it for serves and topspin drives, you get a decent amount of spin.
    If you commit and meet the ball flat, you get exactly the kind of good, fast ball you'd expect from a speed-oriented rubber.
    The downside, I feel, is that it's hard to keep blocks short.

    User review

    Andro's Plaxon got discontinued, and while I was looking into what could replace it, I thought V>03 seemed similar in concept — a speed-oriented rubber with added spin — so I bought it and tried it out.
    As a result, I felt it performed pretty much exactly as I expected, and quite similarly.
    I think it would especially suit older players who feel that spin-oriented tension rubbers just don't agree with them. Definitely worth trying.

    Using this on the forehand side of a Chinese penhold blade. It might partly be because my blade has a modest bounce, but light shots don't really fly, while a hard swing gives a decent amount of speed. For a speed-oriented rubber, it's easy to put spin on and generates a moderate amount.
    Rather than living up to the "it's all about flying" sales pitch, I think this is actually a well-balanced, easy-to-handle rubber.
    It's not a tension rubber but a high-elasticity one, which explains that. It's a good rubber that makes it easy to mix up pace.

    I tried Spin Pips D1 and Spinnate with horizontal pips, but they felt like a half-baked inverted rubber, so I picked this one to try vertical pips instead.
    As a result, I felt it was very easy to use, with a good balance of control, spin, and speed. Knuckle balls don't come out very naturally, but I could produce them by hitting with a bit of intention.
    It's a good rubber.
