Offers great control and is a rubber that is perfect for new players learning about spin and control for the first time. I had this myself when it was called Cobra Ultra back in the 80s.

First off, I’m a total beginner when it comes to table tennis, as I just started playing two months ago. Although I’ve been playing a lot since then, I got a Cobra 2000 2mm rubber on a Stiga Allround Classic as my first rubber and blade, and I must say I am very happy with it!

It is definitely true, as people say, that it provides excellent control. Even with the 2mm thickness, it still feels a bit slow, though. As I mentioned, I am a total beginner, but I feel that the great control it offers also comes with a sensation of it “gripping” the ball a little.

All in all, as a beginner, I feel that it’s a fantastic rubber, and I would definitely recommend it.

This was my first rubber decades ago, and it is still available today. It is best suited for beginners or players who prioritize control.

The rubber offers moderate speed and spin, along with fair durability. It plays similarly to the Butterfly D-13 or Flextra.
