Review by cmm (Verified Customer) for Der-Materialspezialist TTR-Killer on June 13, 2024

A strange rubber? But very cool. Not frictionless, plays a lot like longpips. I'd recommend it for the chopper looking to attack more pushes with backhand. The attacks feel more solid and stable than lp, blocking is much better, but chopping will take more effort, a larger motion, and a very low body angle. Be sure to take the ball at table-height or lower on the heavy chop.

I suppose I'll be the first! This is a reallllly interesting rubber. I came to it as a long pips chopper, with the intent to chop with it, and try attacking close to the table. I bought it in green, 1.4.

Chops feel strange, surreal. I can get it back pretty easily, although I had to slightly alter my stroke to involve more arm/elbow. That being said, the arc is low: its easy to keep it low, and loaded. Three chops in, and I find that I can give it a lot of gas/force on the chop, and it results in a controlled and low, sinking ball. Super cool.

Attacking with it at the table feels harder than a trad frictionless anti, but easier than the curlp1r I had been using. I am currently favoring swiping with it, or a simple topspin stroke used by a lot of ox long pips users (a kind of bump with forward/upward motion).

In any case, if you like chopping and want to feel something fresh, I say give it a try!
