This is a familiar tale about the topsheet and sponge. Remember how Wang Hao and Ma Lin opted for the Sriver topsheet paired with Bryce sponge? I find myself in a similar situation right now.

The topsheet I’m using is one of the best I could ever ask for. With an ESN sponge, it would be invincible. It is easy to use, offering slow but spinny play, making it great for developing techniques like the reverse penhold backhand (RPB). However, with a new sponge, it would be an even better fit for the polyball era.

After a decade of not playing, I have recently started again with table tennis. I use the MC rubber on both sides (black 1.8mm on the forehand and red 1.4mm on the backhand) on a Donic Appelgren Allplay racket. I play up to 8 hours per week.

With this rubber, you can make massive improvements in your skills, especially if you are an offensive player whose weapons of choice are forehand and backhand topspins. You are encouraged to refine your topspin movements. When executed correctly and quickly, the rubber provides excellent feedback in terms of grip and sound, making it a perfect training tool.

Chopping and cutting are very easy with this rubber, although they don’t pose much threat to an opponent. Short play is genuinely enjoyable, offering perfect control. The sponge feels softer than hard.

I recommend buying a harder sponge rubber, such as Sriver S, for another blade so you can compare and determine what you prefer for the future. I would strongly recommend this Nittaku rubber as a first choice during the initial months of your return to the sport. You will learn the proper topspin technique, short play, and serving skills.

However, for long-distance play, especially deep chopping, you can forget about using the MC. Additionally, flipping can be quite challenging with this rubber.

The rubber is too slow and lacks spin. I believe it is more suitable for beginners rather than advanced players. Overall, it may not meet the expectations of those looking for high performance in their table tennis game.
