I switched to this out of curiosity, wondering what it would be like to put a softer rubber on my Relevant. I have it on the backhand side.
Maybe because the sheet is softer than the sponge's German hardness rating of 45 would suggest, it handles like a 42.5-degree rubber.
The feel on the ball has no quirks, and especially close to the table, both short-game shots and drives feel great to hit. That said, despite being marketed as a "spin" rubber, I don't feel the spin performance is all that high. It spins more than the Rigan, but not quite as much as the Rigan Spin — it's a subtle difference.
What surprised me, though, was meet shots like flicks and smashes. The speed isn't especially fast, but the control is really effective. It responds well to mid-swing adjustments too, and straight shots land satisfyingly. What is this, seriously?
As for weaknesses, they show up mid-distance from the table. It doesn't carry much distance, but if you hit it hard, it goes straight into the net. Maybe that's because the sheet is soft. From mid-distance, drives with a rolling touch or smashes from a high contact point seem to work well.
Personally, I prefer a rubber with a slightly firmer sheet.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
