#1 — December 2019

This rubber is a great choice for players returning to table tennis. After a 15-year hiatus from the sport, I found that it provides excellent control and spin.

It is particularly effective for serving, allowing me to add significant spin that my opponents struggle to return.

However, I did notice that it lacks a bit of speed, making it less suited for direct play or driving. Overall, it offers a very spinny experience with plenty of control!

#2 — May 2019

This rubber is great and totally underrated. It allows for consistent hitting, making it an excellent choice for players of all levels. The control it offers is extremely easy, which is perfect for anyone, especially beginners who are developing proper techniques.

This rubber performs well in both offensive and defensive situations. It can handle offensive strokes like loops, flat hits, and smashes, while also being effective for defensive moves like chops and blocks. I use this rubber on my backhand, but since I twiddle a lot, I occasionally switch it to my forehand when I need more control.

#3 — July 2013

It is an exceptional rubber that beautifully combines spin, control, and speed into one delightful package. Furthermore, it has impressive durability, ensuring that you won’t have to worry about replacing it anytime soon. This longevity means you can enjoy playing without the frustration of frequent replacements.

#4 — Long Time Ago...

One of the most popular rubbers for OFF players before the advent of tensor rubbers, this option offers everything for ALL, ALL+, OFF-, and OFF players. It is fast enough, with excellent spin and control, complemented by an amazing soft sponge that remains consistent over time and performs exceptionally well.

I believe the tuning effect is a factory state of this rubber—it is truly remarkable. Even after years of use, it remains competitive. I use it on the backhand side of my JOOLA Viking blade, and it is perfect for an ALL+ playing style. It excels in transitions and flicks, and while I also use it on the forehand side, I personally prefer a harder sponge for that position.

Overall, this rubber falls into the “must try” category for every table tennis player. If you get the chance to try it, don’t miss out!
