Yasaka Original T Version Short Pips Rubber

A speed-type short pips rubber that reworks the "Original" for attack

A speed-type short pips rubber (a rubber whose pips face outward). The sheet is based on the short pips rubber "Original", reworked with an emphasis on attacking power, and the sponge is a softer high-rebound type. It suits players who want to hit fast shots close to the table.

Features

• The sheet is based on Yasaka's own short pips rubber, the "Original".
• The sponge is a high-rebound type, on the soft side with a hardness of 30–35° (as published by Yasaka).
• On Yasaka's own rating scale (Mark V = 10): Speed 9, Spin 6+, Control 8.
• Made in Japan. Thickness can be chosen from Thin to Extra thick, and there are two colors.

Recommended for

• Fast-attack players who play close to the table and want to hit fast shots with short pips

• Anyone who wants a short pips rubber with a softer sponge
