Initially tacky, the rubber provides a good grip, but this feature tends to wear off over time. It serves as a suitable forehand rubber for beginner players. However, cleaning it can be a challenge.

This rubber is very tacky, making it ideal for spinny serves and chops close to the table.

At a thickness of 1.8mm, it is slightly slow, which makes it less suitable for playing away from the table.

I have this rubber on my ‘Wind’ series DHS blade to practice against the robot. It is a great rubber; however, it is far too heavy for a ‘shakehand’ player. I assume it fits well with players who use the ‘penhold’ grip.

I’ve rated this rubber highly because it truly is excellent, but again, I want to emphasize that it may not be suitable for someone who prefers a lighter bat.

Don’t worry about using weighted bats for training. Just put two sheets of this rubber on, and you’ll add 110 grams to your bat. You’ll end up with a great rubber that will last a long time.
