This rubber offers excellent control, though it feels a bit too bouncy for my preference.

The spin is adequate; it’s not outstanding, but it provides enough to facilitate play.

I believe this rubber is a good option for beginners and intermediate players alike.

I tested it with a “turbo” Japanese penhold racket, and it delivers a lot of control, especially considering the blade itself is like a “speed demon.”

#2 — August 2014

This rubber offers excellent value for the price. Although this version is a few years old, it performs remarkably well when paired with 1-ply Hinoki blades.

I found this combination to be somewhat surprising, as both the rubber and the wood are relatively soft; yet, it produces impressive speed and fantastic spin.

I highly recommend this rubber for anyone who enjoys soft, bouncy rubbers.

(Note: I used this rubber on a J-Pen blade.)
