    It's not an exaggeration to say this rubber produces more variation than any other long pips out there.
    Chops have solid bite, and depending on the opponent's shot, your own chop can come out knuckle-like too, letting you send chops that opponents really hate. Pushes are hard to put spin on at first, but once you get used to it you can add as much variation as you want, lol. The one drawback is that it's a bit tricky to handle, so I think it's better to start with the Curl P4V first and switch to the P1V later.
    It's also highly recommended for the backhand of a shakehand attacking style. It really fits the classic playing style of creating chances with the nasty ball from the long pips, then finishing with the forehand.
    It also works on a penhold pips setup, but a lot of people will probably find it lacking since it doesn't produce much speed.
    The variation is truly the best, so I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to win with that classic long-pips ball quality!

    I've been using this on my backhand for over a year now! (Thickness: extra-thin → medium)
    First, if you're adopting this as a chopper, I'd recommend the "medium" thickness. To start with, this rubber is technically short pips, so chops are harder to keep under control than with long pips. So if you go with a thin sponge, you'll end up thinking "I might as well just use long pips." With the "medium" thickness, pushes are basically knuckle balls by default, but if you dig the ball into the sponge you can also send backspun pushes. For chops, you can either brush it like short pips or swing down like long pips. Either way you hit it, you get noticeably more variation than with long pips. The real value of this rubber is exactly this variation in pushes and chops. Of course, a thicker sponge makes chops harder to control, but once you get the knack, that difficulty doesn't bother you much.
    In terms of ease of keeping the ball in: Do-Knuckle < long pips. In terms of variation: Do-Knuckle >> long pips.
    A thin sponge is recommended for all-round pips attackers close to the table. Unlike long pips, the spin doesn't reverse cleanly, and you get a pretty nasty knuckle ball lol
    For choppers, go with the "medium" thickness, and for all-round attackers close to the table, go with "extra-thin" or "super-extra-thin" — definitely give it a try!

    I used this when I first started playing table tennis, and recently picked it up and hit with it again!
    The manufacturer calls this a spin-oriented rubber, but I think flat-hitting techniques are actually easier with it. Smashes and other flat-hit techniques go in very consistently. Of course it also produces a decent amount of spin, so I think it's an all-around rubber. Also, since the topsheet is somewhat insensitive to incoming spin, things like receives and the short game still go in even if you're a bit sloppy.
    I'd also recommend it for choppers. It's easy to sink the ball into the sponge when chopping, and it's quite stable!
    I'd recommend this to beginner/intermediate players who just want the ball to go in reliably, and to advanced players who use a lot of fast balls!

    It uses a spring sponge, and I think it's excellent when it comes to spin! It's also a bit soft, and blocks come out with a nice arc, so it's a rubber that suits the backhand very well. I'd recommend beginners use it on the forehand, and intermediate-and-above players use it on the backhand.
    The one downside, though, is that the lifespan is very short...
    The sponge itself lasts a reasonable amount of time, but the sheet just doesn't hold up — even for a beginner or intermediate player, after about two weeks the grip weakens quite a bit. Of course it's still totally usable even then, but if you're after top performance, you really can't call the lifespan long...
    Still, aside from the lifespan, the performance is fantastic, so I'd definitely recommend beginner and intermediate players give it a try!

    It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this is the closest any short pips rubber gets to feeling like an inverted rubber — the grip on the ball is that strong, and you get real spin on pushes, topspin drives, and serves alike!
    That said, it's still short pips, so lifting backspin balls is easy, and meet shots and counters are stable too. So this works great not just on the backhand but also on the forehand.
    It's a soft rubber, so pairing it with a hard blade lets the ball sink in nicely and fly well, which I'd recommend. It's obviously a great choice for female players or juniors who don't have a lot of power, but male players who want more stability on counters and similar shots should definitely give it a try too!
