I have OX rubber on my backhand.
Hit it thin and you get a knuckle ball
hit it deep and you get reverse spin
brush it and you get a little spin
So starting from the same motion, you can return quite different balls depending on how deep you make contact and how you swing.
In matches, opponents hate it - in a good way.I also put it on a Hadraw SL,
and the trajectory was completely different. (probably just me being bad)
Comparing the blades, the Innerforce ZLF is softer,
so I think it just suddenly got stiff, I lost control, and the ball popped up,
but with the Hadraw SL the ball arced up high,
while with the Innerforce ZLF the arc was barely there... it flew almost in a straight line.
For attacking I'd recommend the latter,
but for chopping, if you drop back, the ball doesn't go in. ←
Well, the blade is soft. It's OX. That's just how it is, I guess.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

Who actually puts something this hard on a low-bounce chop blade?
Not sure who this will help, but as a former chopper now playing an all-around pips style, this turned out to be the best rubber for me, so I'm leaving a review.
Because of that, the feel is completely different from how it'd feel on an attacking blade. Please don't take this as a reference for that (lol)To start with, there's R and V, which is confusing, but the difference is arc (spin) versus straight line (speed).
Look it up for details.
Also, R53 and R47 (was 47 released at the same time? I forget) differ from the rest of the R series in that the topsheet is softer.
So between R50 and R53, R53 is actually easier to spin and feels softer.
That said, the sponge hardness is 53. Get the ball to sink in, and you get a fierce smash.That hardness is both the strength and the drawback.
But since a chop blade is soft, it doesn't end up too hard overall.
Might be too hard for a full chopper, though?
Since I play an all-around pips style, I add spin on the forehand, create chances on the backhand, and finish with a smash off that hardness-53 rubber.To sum up:
- On a chop blade, it's not that hard
- If you want a devastating smash with an all-around pips style
- And you want to load up the spin beforehand for that
Then this one's for you, definitely!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

When the ball switched from celluloid to plastic,
tension rubbers also became the mainstream.
My old tacky rubber (Tackiness C) stopped working for me, so I switched during that transition.Tension rubbers seemed like they'd send the ball flying off,
and with my old-school feel I was scared to commit because I thought it would fly long,
but with the same spin-generating feel as a tacky rubber, the ball went where I was used to.
On top of that, when smashing or hitting flat it really snaps through the ball,
and attacks that I could never pull off with tacky rubber became easy,
so somehow I felt like I'd gotten better! (not really lol)That said, now that I'm used to tension rubber (Rasanter R53), compared to other tension rubbers, this one isn't really a fast, "pop it quick" kind of rubber.
It feels more like a rubber for players who want to commit to spin and win with it.If you're getting back into table tennis after a long break and aren't sure about today's rubbers, or if you want to fight with heavy spin, this is the rubber for you!

This is my first time using short pips, so I can't compare it to other short pips rubbers.
But after searching around this series, I gathered that the Pips Force seems to be the popular one.
So I bought it and tried it, and it was too hard for a short pips beginner...
I'd been using Rasanter R53, so I figured I'd be used to some hardness, but
it turns out the R53's topsheet is actually soft...So, within the Pips series, I bought the Plus version instead, which has thinner topsheet pips and a softer feel.
Since horizontal pips seem to be the standard for the forehand, I glued it on horizontally.
It feels really great!
The spin is normal enough that people ask "wait, is this inverted rubber?"
Stops and smashes where you just touch the ball without spin come out as knuckleballs.If my opponent gets fed up with my forehand pips, I can then shake things up with the pips on my backhand and go in for the kill, and the flow of the match is mine! (Well, that's how it would go if everything worked out perfectly...)
