Before I start, I’d like to say that this is my very first custom rubber that I have used (I have used a few premade paddles before), and I’d like to say that I’m a Chinese penholder who uses TPB and RPB and is also in high school, so I’m still very much a beginner and as of now have been using this rubber for almost 3 months. I use this rubber on my forehand, and it’s a very good rubber for it and also a good rubber for TPB and is able to do TPB topspins. It seems to have (to me) good speed—not slow, but not too fast either—and it’s also decent for blocking, especially TPB blocking, but it is really good at countering shots (back a bit ago I rarely blocked and wanted to be able to; with a little bit of getting used to the rubber, I’m now confident when blocking with this rubber). Compared to the premade paddles I’ve used, this rubber has a lot of spin and is very good for serves, pushes, chops, and loops. The control is also very good, good enough for a beginner. Its gears are decent too from what it seems (this is my first rubber, so can’t dive too deep into this). I will say overall this rubber is pretty consistent, especially for a beginner, but its throw angle isn’t very high, especially for a beginner, and that compared with the above-average consistency makes it sometimes very hard to get the ball over the net sometimes (I am still inexperienced with this rubber, so maybe it’s just that I’m not used to it fully, but I would like to put this out as this is what I am experiencing). But that is all I can say for my honest review; overall the rubber is very good and doesn’t lack in anything. It’s also definitely not bad for flat shots like drives and smashes, but it is definitely better and more aimed towards loops and more spin-oriented shots. Then again, I am still very much a beginner and am still learning, so this is just an honest review from a beginner’s perspective. I recommend this rubber.

Before I start, I’d like to mention that this is my very first custom rubber. I have previously used a few pre-made paddles. I am a Chinese penholder who uses traditional penhold backhand (TPB) and reverse penhold backhand (RPB), and I am also in high school, so I’m still very much a beginner. I have been using this rubber for almost three months now.

I use this rubber on my forehand, and I find it to be very good for that purpose. It also performs well for traditional penhold backhand shots, allowing me to execute topspins effectively. In my experience, the rubber offers good speed—not too slow, but not overly fast either. It is decent for blocking, particularly for TPB blocking. With a bit of practice, I have grown confident in my ability to counter shots using this rubber.

Compared to the pre-made paddles I have used, this rubber provides significantly more spin. It excels in serves, pushes, chops, and loops. The control is impressive, making it suitable for beginners like myself. The gear dynamics seem decent, though since this is my first rubber, I cannot make extensive comparisons.

Overall, I find this rubber to be quite consistent, especially for someone at my skill level. However, I have noticed that the throw angle is not very high, which can sometimes make it difficult to get the ball over the net. I acknowledge that I am still inexperienced with this rubber, so it could be a matter of getting used to it.

In summary, my honest review is that this rubber is very good and does not seem to lack in any area. It performs well with flat shots like drives and smashes, but it is certainly more suited for loops and spin-oriented shots. As a beginner still learning, this is my perspective. I would recommend this rubber to others.

I like this rubber. On the backhand, you can achieve quality shots. However, the only problem is the lack of spin; it’s about 20-30% less than that of high-quality rubbers. This makes a significant difference in performance.

The rubber has a medium throw, and it may be a clone of the H3-50.
