A long-loved classic inverted rubber known for high elasticity and high friction
Released in 1967, this is a high-elasticity, high-friction inverted rubber. Its ratings of Speed 38, Spin 23, and Arc 23 are on the lower side among the rubbers we carry. With relatively modest bounce, it tends to make shots easy to control.
Features
- It's a long-selling model that has been available since its 1967 release.
- It's rated Speed 38, Spin 23, and Arc 23.
- At a sponge hardness of 38, it falls in the middle range among the rubbers we carry.
- You can choose from three thicknesses — Medium, Thick, and Max — and from Red or Black.
Recommended for
- Players who want to build fundamentals with shots that have modest bounce
- Players looking for a rubber with a standard feel
Pros and things to consider
Pros
- Its lower Speed and Spin ratings tend to make shots easy to control.

Things to consider
