I use the MAX version of Molist 44.
I've tried the other thicknesses too, but for me it's MAX all the way. The reason is that the rubber is really hard, and while the other thicknesses might be easier to hit with, I went with MAX considering the balance of power and playability.
Also, out of all the large-ball rubbers, this one produces the most knuckle balls.
Because of that, it's a perfect match for people who play standard-rules table tennis with short pips on the backhand.
People around me often say it's hard to handle and not accepted by anyone. But I think if a standard-rules short pips backhand player used it, that probably wouldn't be the case.
If you like harder rubbers, want to produce knuckle balls, or are looking for speed, definitely give it a try.
I have no reason to switch my backhand rubber away from Molist 44.
Since switching to Molist 44, I've even been able to beat players ranked in the All Japan Large Ball tournament.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

For a Nittaku rubber, this is on the harder side — for me it felt somewhere between medium-hard and hard.
Speed-wise, it definitely delivers.
Not only does it give you speed, it also produces a nice arc.
The bounce is nicely moderate, so blocking feels good.
Counters feel like they hold their own too.
Other people told me that because it bounces so much, their pushes float up and they were scared to push. I didn't experience that at all.
Compared to conventional rubbers, this one really delivers speed. Spin is also the highest among Nittaku's rubbers.
If you find it hard to control, pair it with a lower-bounce blade; if you want more distance, pair it with a bouncier blade.
It feels great, so I'm thinking of using it in an official match sometime.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Its biggest appeal is that top players currently use it and keep racking up results and success with it. I felt it genuinely has that level of performance. On forehand, I was very satisfied with both the power and control. Backhand felt very stable too. Smashes depend a lot on your swing speed, so they really test your skill. Drives leave a slight slipping sensation if you brush the ball, but they still go in okay. If you sink the ball into the sponge, you get solid speed and spin. Chiquita was great because it's easy to add variation to. Blocks are also easy, and they have a way of settling nicely on the table - it was a really good rubber overall. If it has to be a Nittaku rubber, I think this is the one. Its strength is being able to achieve both attacking and defensive techniques at a high level. The rubber itself doesn't bounce that much, so for men, a blade with more spring in it is probably better paired with it. That said, it's easy to use with any blade. Even with a bouncy blade, blocking was still easy. In the end, this is a rubber that's easy to use and lets players from beginner to pro level bring out its performance, but to really unlock its full potential, it's probably best used by more advanced players.
This is one of the rubbers I relied on for a long time too.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I use the max-thickness version of Morristo 44.
I've tried the other thicknesses too, but for me it's max thickness, no question. The reason is that the rubber is quite hard, so while the other thicknesses might be easier to hit with, I chose max thickness for the balance of power and playability.
Also, among large-ball rubbers, this one produces knuckle balls better than most.
That makes it a perfect match for anyone who normally plays hard-ball table tennis with short pips on the backhand.
Among the people around me, those who normally run inverted rubber on both sides often say it's hard to handle, but I don't think that's true for hard-ball short-pips backhand players.
If you like a hard rubber, want plenty of knuckle balls, or are chasing speed, definitely give it a try.
For me, there's no reason to switch away from Morristo 44 on my backhand.
Since switching to Morristo 44, I've even been able to beat players ranked in the national large-ball rankings.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Among the many spin-oriented tension rubbers out there, this one excels at spin and control, and it doesn't bounce like crazy — just a moderate amount of bounce.
The listed hardness is 47.5°, but it doesn't feel that hard and is easy to hit with.
What impressed me most was looping against backspin — the amount of spin and the movement on the ball were amazing.
Blocking is easy too.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
