Using red, 1.6mm on a stock Koji Matsushita blade
My impression is that it's like Challenger Attack with harder pips and a slightly thicker sheet
The pips are hard and don't slip much, so pushes and attacking shots are more stable compared to other short-pips rubbers. You can also switch between a sharp chop and a knuckle ball, which is really nice
Control is a bit tricky though — "doesn't slip much" also means it's easier to pick up the opponent's spin, so if your contact on a chop is off, combined with the hardness of the pips, the ball flies further than it would chopping with Spectol
I'd recommend this to people who are confident in controlling short-pips chops and want to stabilize their other techniques. On the other hand, it's not very suited to people picking up short pips for the first time, or people who want reassuring stability on chops.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
