    User review

    Bought it since the new blue color came out.
    I used it on the forehand, and it lifted the ball more than I expected.
    The S1 wouldn't lift the ball like this, so I really felt how much of a difference a sponge change can make.
    I used to prefer the Impartial XB, but I think this one might actually be easier to use once you get used to it.
    Receiving had some tricky moments compared to the first time I used the Impartial XB.
    Also, I think one drawback is that the feel of the ball isn't as direct as with the Impartial XB.
    Serves seemed to produce about the same amount of spin as the rubber I compared it to.
    Overall, I think this is a good, all-purpose short-pips rubber.

    I used the 2.0mm version.
    There are a few slight air bubbles, and I didn't really feel the listed 51-degree hardness — it felt more like it was somewhere around 45-46.
    I tried it on both an all-wood blade and a composite blade. On the all-wood blade, even though this isn't a tacky rubber, receives were stable and control was easy and consistent.
    On the composite blade, it could really unleash its power, drawing a beautiful arc and driving deep into the opponent's court.
    The control is also excellent.
    I think it would match well with any blade.
    It's no surprise a rubber like this gets named after a Japanese player, even from an overseas maker.
    There's no single standout point, but it's a high-level rubber across the board.
    If you want a non-tacky rubber, this is really the only choice.

    Using max thickness.
    There's nothing that particularly stands out, but it handles everything competently.
    From a beginner's perspective, I think it'll feel like it flies a lot, but as it says on the package, once you build up your technique, you should be able to play with confidence.
    I think you can play with peace of mind even in close matches where you can't afford to drop points.
    Compared to the Rozena, I'd pick this one.
    The sponge is orange too, which is reminiscent of the Sriver, and I like that.
    I think it's not very well known, so to someone unfamiliar with it, it might come across as looking like a sketchy rubber.

    The center of gravity is toward the tip, which I think makes it easy to control. This is the Golden Tango, but I felt the Shoryu was lacking something, so I put this rubber on instead.
    I think it pairs excellently with tacky tension rubber. After the bounce, it produces a trajectory reminiscent of the old speed-glue era. It comes down at a low trajectory into the deep part of the court.
    The ball seems to come out irregular, and my opponents clearly had trouble dealing with it.
    Spin-wise, it holds the ball well and it's easy to put spin on.
    I've never put long pips on a special-material blade before, so shots tend to go long noticeably, but when they land, they produce balls that are hard to return, so I think the pairing works well.
    That takes practice, but if you can master it, it'll become a great weapon.
    It's a shame there's no straight handle option for the grip.

    There was a rumor that this pairs relatively well with Glass D.tecS, so I put it on and actually tried hitting with it. Using 0.9mm.
    For blocking, if you just do a normal block, it only goes long.
    I think you need techniques that kill the speed, like sliding the ball sideways.
    Receiving, which people said was a weak point, was more stable than I expected. Pushes and stops can easily be made to bounce twice.
    When you aim for tight lines, it seems to demand really precise control, and I ended up with a lot of sideways misses going long off the edge of the table on the line I was trying to hit.
    That said, it's a great match overall, so I'd recommend it.
    With inverted rubber, I don't think you need to be picky about which rubber you use.
    I think it'll adapt fine to whatever hardness and brand of rubber you like.
    It paired well with Rhythm 425, so it's a shame that got discontinued. But I used MK Pro at 51°, and it worked without any issues.
    MK Pro's soft-yet-firm character really came through.
