Easy to play with

This rubber is easy to play with, especially with the current poly ball. It’s very easy to loop the 40+ ball and spin.

Consistent performance

I felt like I wouldn’t go wrong using this rubber. However, it’s hard to play in long distance.

Versatile

I’m using this rubber on both forehand and backhand.

Very good rubber for both forehand and backhand.

It has great speed and touch, giving excellent control. The speed is there, the spin is there, medium throw, but it shines in control, amazing. Kinda soft.

Cut has a weight of 45 grams after cutting. Due to its low arch, it resembles Chinese rubbers such as the Skyline Neo TG3, but with increased bounce. It provides similar spin to the TG3 but with significantly improved control due to its more linear trajectory.

I also own the Blue P1 Turbo, which is noticeably faster than the Cut.

Previously, I used the Bluefire JP 01 Turbo. It has a higher arch, which better suits my playing style. However, the Bluefire is heavier at 50 grams when cut, and weight is a crucial factor for reverse penhold backhand strokes.
