I used the 1.6 thickness on my backhand. For a short pips rubber, it's easy to put spin on. Blocks stop properly too, so you can throw off your opponent's timing. I mainly play close to the table, but when I do drop back, chopping is more stable. Since it's a light rubber, another good point is that you can pair it with whatever heavy rubber you like on your forehand. I'd recommend a special-material blade, since it gives good power on flicks and meet hits.

Used this at 1.6mm on my backhand. It's a knuckle-type short pips rubber, but it grips the ball almost like an inverted rubber would. You can rattle off flicks and meet-hits like a machine gun with it. I'd recommend it for close-to-the-table attacking players who want to try short pips. If you get pushed back from the table, chopping is more stable than attacking. Another nice point is that since you can go thin with this rubber, it frees you up to use whatever rubber you like on your forehand. I think a composite blade suits it well.

I use it on my backhand. It's a solid, spin-oriented rubber. The grip on the top sheet feels like an evolution from the Vega X.
Compared to the Rasanter R48 at the same hardness, the trajectory has more of an arc.
I think you can move up from a mid-price rubber and start hitting high-quality drives without any real adjustment period.
I'm using a 7-ply all-wood blade, but if you're using it on the forehand, I think a blade with special materials would bring out the rubber's character even better.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It has amazing bounce, but it's also a rubber that grips the ball firmly. The top sheet is soft but still has good structure, so the ball doesn't just drop off. Basically it's a rubber that grabs and launches the ball, but even hitting with just the sheet, the ball still flies. It's blazing fast and snaps back hard right off your racket. For the first two weeks or so it felt like a completely different, ridiculously high-performance rubber — honestly too good for me to handle. Around the third week, the real strengths of Rasant start to come through. In particular, try stepping back from the table and hitting a flat, fast drive. You'll get hooked. I think it pairs well with a blade made from a material that dampens the bounce a bit. With a Hinoki Carbon blade, the ball tended to pop up and float on serves and short-game shots.

This is a carbon blade with good control. It uses a hard wood material, so it has good bounce too. The carbon layer is thin, so it's really just a supporting role. Compared to other straight-grip blades, it's flatter, so it's easy to relax your grip and keep the short game stable. It pairs well with any rubber, so I think it works fine even with the tacky-tension rubbers that are popular these days. If you want to put together a cheap setup, I'd recommend a European rubber and hitting topspin drives close to the table.
