External Review for Juic 999 Elite Ultima on July 7, 2017

Very good backhand control rubber. Used this rubber when I came back to table-tennis after 18 years (!) of absence. I had learned TT with rubbers like Joola Clipper, Donic Vario and Banda (not Donic!) Coppa. So I chose it because of its rather flat trajectory and good spin and superb control. Decent for serves, for short game, blocking and for flat hitting. Ball placement is also superb. It is also not very sensitive to incoming spin. It was mounted on a Yinhe T-6 (black, 1,8mm) and I guess that it won't be as good on slower blades or on all-wood blades.

This rubber was one of my favorites back when reglue was ok and the ball was smaller. Recently I used it on a 10mm jpen blade for the first time & noticed it could be dangerous for both your opponent and you. Can be used for a simple block-hit game and for loop drive as well and that is the trick, you should avoid to fall in any of the two moods and play more like an agressive allround. It has a low throw angle and the spin is mostly on the surface, and yet, is not like a hard chinese rubber. Good for spinny serves and pushing.

Great backhand rubber, it's not the fastest, but it has nice feel to it. There is a definitive feeling of the ball sinking through sponge until it hits blade. I would definately recomend it at a thickness of 2.0-2.5.

This rubber, with the ultima sponge being in the tensioned category, is very sensitive to blade hardness, and plays better with faster blades. Speed is much lower on softer blades,almost like a defensive rubber. Low throw angle. Ball needs to be hit more head-on than a grazing style as most of the speed required to put the ball over the net is due to the sponge. Top sheet tackiness wears away quickly with time. The rubber has a somewhat nonlinear response - at low impacts it is quite slow, but reveals its true colors when the ball is struck in a more direct fashion. Spin is on the high side and the rubber is lightweight. All in all, it takes getting used to, but not exactly a rubber with all the gears. Maybe more suitable for backhand. Have'nt found the ideal blade for this rubber yet. A friend had this on a Yiyong Fan Extra blade and was able to loop just about anything that came his way. Max thickness sponge recommended.

06/2008: Tried this unglued on a stiffer blade, made a big difference. Traces of its full power were clearly visible. Great feel, fast and very spinny and a nice backhand rubber.
