It took me more than a year to discover my fondness for this rubber, rating it a 9/10 for my backhand. I believe the perfect rubber does not exist, hence the 10/10 rating remains elusive.

This rubber excels in control and excels in receiving serves, blocking, pushing, chopping, flicking, looping, and driving. In fact, it performs all these actions quite well. It is not particularly fast, which translates to better control and accuracy. I consider it a control rubber, and for my current game, I deem it to be the best backhand rubber in the world.

This is the first rubber that I used on an ALL+ J-pen for about 2 months. The rubber is good for looping and spins. It has a little less speed and spin than Tenergy, but Tenergy might be too fast for beginners.

Great product for overall play. Good spin, only a bit less than Tenergy, but at half the price. It should be combined with a fast blade like TBS or ALC.
