Plays controlled and predictable on my Nittaku Factive 7 (stiffer 7-ply). 45g cut.

Goma tensor barata para revés, buena capacidad de efecto, velocidad decente. Si eres paralímpico como yo, usa esta goma; tiene un control ESTÚPIDO y es ultrapermisiva, entran todas las bolas.

Recomiendo acelerar con 2 capas, aunque si vas a cambiar o repegar seguido, esta goma no va a ser buena, esponja frágil. Sin ese aspecto malo de la esponja, es un 10/10 de goma.

Testeada en 729 Blue ALC con Yinhe Big Dipper 41.5 y Loki Kirin K1.

Glued it to my favorite blade Butterfly Viscaria ALC on BH, just to experiment with the cheap rubber. So far, Kirin 1 is not bad for controlling BH blocks, can confuse the opponent with the returned ball, a bit wobble like playing an anti-rubber, but still has the spin effect, which makes it difficult to guess how much spin it produces. It is easy to place the returned ball since the sponge absorbs the energy and lets you decide how you are going to return it, either using your own strength or the opponent’s catapult effect. Flicks are easy, but not fast enough to surprise the opponent, though you can still control the placement of the ball. It is not too sensitive to incoming spin serves by the opponent, but requires proper push techniques to lower the ball, or you are going to let the opponent easily counter the attack. Chops are easy since it is not too sensitive to spin; it needs a bit of effort for far-table play. It is good for beginner and intermediate players. Novices with good skill and technique can vary the shots using this rubber. Go for Kirin 3 if you require more speed with the negh sponge technology. The cheap price doesn’t mean it’s the worst.
