I absolutely hate playing against this rubber on an opponents backhand. Particularly if they are tall as you can't get away from the damn thing. I like to put lots on the ball and this thing just sucks the life out of your game. Matches with an attacking forehand and it is a nightmare to play against. You hit the ball hard and it just dabs the ball back, killing all the tempo and rhythm. They sucker you in hitting then the BH and you are running back to the table to this dead nothing ball....drives me mad playing against them as it is this massive safe zone on the table.. I dislike this rubber so I rate it high.
