I used max thickness.
Backhand → Morist SP, medium.
Rubbers I compared it to:
- Rasanter C48 2.0
- Rasanter R48 2.0
- Spin: The sheet is extremely strong, and out of all the 48-degree rubbers I've tried, this is honestly top class.
Both serves and loop drives feel wonderfully stable.
I almost never feel like a ball hit against backspin is going to drop into the net.
- Speed: It's quite a bit faster than the C48, but a little slower than tension rubbers like the R48.
On the other hand, what really stands out about this rubber is that, thanks to the sheet's strength, the ball doesn't drop. I've never experienced a rubber at this hardness that holds the ball up this well.
- Hardness: When you touch it, it feels soft enough to make you wonder if it's really 48 degrees. It feels more like 45 degrees.
- How easy it is to pull spin out: I think this rubber gives you the maximum output of a 48-degree rubber with the ease of pulling spin out you'd expect from a 45-degree one.
Overall: It's a very well-balanced rubber in terms of spin, speed, and ease of use.
It's perfect for anyone who doesn't want to give up either drives or flat hitting.
That said, the people around me who currently use 50-degree-plus rubbers found it too soft and weren't fans...Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Comparison blades: Solid Pro, Fortius FT
Weight-wise, this should be 6g lighter than the Solid Pro, but it feels like about 170g in the hand.
Inverted rubber
- Bounce
It has a reasonable amount, I'd say. I feel like the raw bounce itself is stronger than the Solid Pro.
- Grip on the ball
There's a solid sense of gripping the ball. That said, it's not like SWAT where the ball feels like it stays on your racket forever — it's more of a firm grip that releases at just the right moment.
- Depth of shots
Like people mentioned on the Hira Takku channel, shots go deep. But it's not that it bounces too much to control — it's a strange balance where it grips the ball firmly and yet still lands deep on the table.
- Speed
Flat hits come off with a high-pitched sound while still gripping the ball as it flies.
You really get that classic 7-ply wood feel on shots.
Speed-wise, I think it's about on par with the Fortius.
Short pips
Variation
The ball itself gets gripped, but the automatic variation feels a bit weak.
That said, since it feels like I'm controlling it myself, I can add variation aggressively if I choose to.
Speed
There's a reassuring sense of grip, so you can really let loose.
Speed is fast too.
Spin
The grip is good, so spin is easy to generate.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

I used the 1.6mm version
and mounted it on the backhand.
In a word, it's a short pips rubber that's about as close to inverted rubber as you can get.
The spin performance is high enough that you wouldn't guess it's vertical pips, and I'd say the speed is quite fast too.
That said, even at 1.6mm this bounces more than any short pips I've ever tried. Because of that, control is difficult, and even when you try to drop it short it often doesn't stay short.
This might partly be down to how I use it, but I get almost no knuckle balls out of it.
I think it's very well suited to players who attack hard from backhand short pips, or to penhold or forehand short pips players.
It's absolutely not suited to players looking for variation from their short pips.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Using the 1.6mm version.
This is a comparison with Moristo SP. Used on the backhand.
- Speed
The speed is about the same as Moristo, maybe a touch faster.- Knuckle
It doesn't produce as much knuckle as the Chinese-style variation pips, but I think it's easier to get knuckle out of than Moristo.- Bounce
It doesn't fly off the racket as much as I expected. The bounce feels typical of a tension short pips rubber- Spin
It grips the ball more than I expected, but it doesn't give as much reassurance as Moristo
Meeting a backspin ball head-on is a bit on the harder side with this one, I think.
Overall, I think it's a rubber that specializes in speed and knuckle without being too hard to handle.
I think it suits backhand short-pips players who build their game around blocking and knuckle balls.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is a review comparing it to Morristo SP.
Spin
It doesn't grip as much spin as Morristo, but this one is easier for lifting the ball against backspin.Knuckle
As you'd expect from a variation-type short pips rubber, it produces some really nasty knuckleballs.Speed
It doesn't produce fast balls.Push
Only cuts the ball moderately. That said, knuckle pushes come out with a really nasty knuckle effect.Block
The ball lands well and the knuckle effect feels good too.
I feel like there aren't many sideways-pips rubbers that are this easy to use while still producing such nasty balls.
Compared to Chinese rubbers like the 388 or 563, the variation is smaller, but the balance with ease-of-use is fantastic.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
