  • Attack 8

    User review

    I play penhold reverse-style, with short pips on one side and Attack 8 OX on the other.
    Even though the Attack 8 is an OX rubber, it bounces surprisingly well when it catches the sweet spot of the blade.
    So if you don't control it well, it goes long (might just be a matter of getting used to it, though).
    Still, since it's a medium-long pips rubber, you can attack with it yourself (though it takes some skill), and you can also produce knuckle balls and chop-like balls, so I think it's a rubber that can really pay off depending on the player's skill. Opponents seem to find it quite hard to deal with, and even a somewhat loose return often gets them to miss. So I've had a lot more situations where I patiently work the opponent around waiting for a chance ball, then flip the racket at the end and finish with a smash off the short pips. I think it's a fun rubber that lets you play table tennis where you don't lose easily.

    I switched over from the Rasanter V47.
    First off, it's heavier than the V47 — no doubt about that.
    The sponge is also fairly firm, but the feel isn't all that different from the V47.
    The ball-holding feels like what you'd expect from a slightly tacky rubber, giving you a sense of the ball lifting, so the ball leaves the rubber more slowly than with the V47.
    That said, control seems to be better because of it.
    When you bounce-test it, it doesn't bounce as much as the V47, but depending on how you hit it you can get comparable power.
    On both backhand and forehand, it seems to work well when you meet the opponent's pace head-on and hit more of a counter-style shot.
    Once you get used to it, it's nice that you can switch between fast attacks with flat hits close to the table and spinny, speed-oriented drives further from the table.
    Blocks connect fairly consistently, and if you speed up your swing you get power to match.
    It feels like you get spin even without sinking the ball deep into the sponge, so I think it's easy to use even if you're not a hard hitter.
    Yoshimura, who was active in mixed doubles at the World Table Tennis Championships, uses this rubber, and after trying it I can see why.
    That said, it's heavy, so you need to be prepared if you're putting it on both sides. (Personally, it's the heaviest rubber I've used so far.)
    Just something to keep in mind.

    User review

    Used on one side of a reversible blade (Spin Ace Carbon). Since the blade itself already has a lot of bounce, I was struggling to match it with long pips rubber, but after switching to this rubber I've been able to keep the ball under control. The control is excellent too — when the ball makes contact, I get the feeling it'll land back on the opponent's side. It's a defensive rubber, but once you get the knack of swinging the blade, you can attack aggressively as well. Against choppers especially, I can keep up continuous attacks and swing the ball side to side without giving the opponent a moment's rest. The only weak point is the push — the speed is a bit slow and it's hard to aim tightly at a course. Friction Special 2, which has slightly lower pips, wins out there. But this rubber has enough going for it to make up for that. Just blocking with it produces a plain knuckle ball, but by swinging through fully you can switch into a surprise attack, or slide the blade for extra variation — it's the perfect rubber for someone with the skill to use it well. That said, since it's easy to control, I think beginners can pick it up easily too. This is a long pips rubber I'd love to see more people try.

  • TORNADE SUPREME SOFT

    User review

    Using 2mm thickness. Penhold reverse-style grip. I play close-to-the-table fast attack.
    This was my first time using it, but I got used to it right away. (If you've used short pips before, you'll probably find it easy to hit with.)
    On the forehand side, if you catch the sweet spot (even swinging carelessly), the ball just drives itself into the opponent's court.
    On the backhand side, you have to consciously aim for a knuckle block to get one, but in exchange you can push the opponent around.
    If you brush it slightly (with a bit of a topspin drive motion in mind) while pushing forward and snapping through, this rubber's strengths come out.
    It's also easy to put spin on, but in exchange (for short pips) it's easily affected by the opponent's spin, especially on receives, and that takes some getting used to.
    The price and delivery time (1 month) are drawbacks, but it's well worth trying.
    Next time I'll buy the non-"soft" version of the same rubber and compare.

  • RASANTER V47

    User review

    A well-balanced rubber with just the right hardness and bounce.
    I switched over from Tenergy 64, and since I never really got used to how soft the Tenergy felt, this firmness (semi-hard) actually feels great to me.
    The bounce is definitely stronger than Tenergy 64 and the ball leaves the rubber quicker, but it's a strange rubber in that it's still easy to put spin on.
    The trajectory is fairly flat. That said, you can still get an arc depending on how you hit it (probably comes down to skill).
    What really stands out is how consistent the backhand side is.
    I've paired it with penhold long pips on the other side, and I can drive straight through an opponent's incoming topspin with a backhand push. It's fast enough to hit tight, aggressive courses like that. (Best inverted rubber I've used so far.)
    The forehand is consistent too, but because it bounces so much, counters tend to run a bit long. That said, it's a level that practice can easily cover, so no need to worry.
    The spin on serves is on par with Tenergy 64, and control is good too.
    Short serves and pushes near the net were hard to control at first, but once I got used to the bounce, it was fine.
    The only real downside is that it's heavy.
    Overall, this is a great alternative to Tenergy or Dignics — or arguably even better.
    I'd also strongly recommend it if you want to save a bit on the price.
