The Swat held the ball a bit too much for my taste, so I bought this one for a quicker release off the blade. Spin comes easily too, and it's very easy to use overall. I can't tell myself, but apparently from the opponent's side, the ball comes off the table with a lot of extension and is hard to handle. My coach also told me I'd improved a lot. I haven't changed my stroke or my rubber from when I used the Swat, so it must be down to the blade. That said, the blade is heavy, and with max-thickness rubber on both sides it comes in at close to 195g, so over the course of several matches my reactions would slow down in the later games, which is why I switched. If you can handle the weight, it's a blade with excellent value for money — I'd recommend it. I think it's a genuine gem.

I was using Rakza X Soft, but tried Rigan for cost reasons. It's really good. The spin is naturally a bit less than Rakza X Soft, but you still get plenty of spin. The speed is satisfying too. Consistency improved, so I could swing freely on the backhand as well, and it helped my backhand technique improve. I think this will be one of the rubbers I keep relying on going forward.

The combination with the TSP Artelo is fantastic. You get drives that seem to accelerate. I can't really tell myself, but opponents have told me my drives accelerate and are hard to handle. Advanced players have also told me I'm hitting good drives. Recommended.

I was using the same Donic Baracuda (bought overseas) and it was great. When I tried to buy it in Japan, it wasn't sold here, so I thought a similar rubber would do and bought Acuda S1 Turbo instead. The control and spin were good. But on hard impacts I felt like the power just leaked away, so I stopped using it. It's a good enough rubber, it just comes down to feel. Luckily a friend bought me a few sheets of Baracuda overseas, so I've been using that. Recently there's been news that Donic will start selling Baracuda in Japan too, which makes me happy. With my swing, Baracuda gives more spin and speed than G1.

I used the Swat as my second blade, switching over from the Mace Performance. I remember the feel on contact being really good.
It was easy to use and I liked it, but maybe because my swing speed went up, I started to feel like the ball was staying on the blade too long, so I graduated from the Swat and switched to the Artero.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard
