Ideal for the pips-out player looking for more spin variation as well as easy control over the opponent's shots. CHALLENGER-ATTACK produces far more spin than normal pimpled-out rubbers. Used by U.S. Women's champion, Gao Jun.
It is a very good short pips rubber. As a penhold player, challenger can give an excellent control to the loop. Good balance betwen defentive and offentive.
Butterfly challenger has a good balance between attack and defence. For a short pip it has different gears. I play it as a defensive backhand rubber because it has a nice soft controllable touch. It's quite deceptive in giving spin to the ball depending on the hitting angle. Hitting and blocking goes easy. Playing it as an attacking rubber, that's in the name. ;) (challenger attack )
Very good If you play close to the table. Enough speed if you use something like Timo Boll ALC.
Good block, drive, smash. Can loop and cut the ball with some spin. A lot of variation and the most important very good control. The best short pimples to develope penhold style
Challenger Attack is a very nice quality pips rubber. Great for service return, fast block, smash, and controlled loop. Medium fast speed. Works great for combi players with inverted on one side. Has a slight deceptive quality which is common for short pips. Pips are broad and soft. Highly recommended for players who used to use inverted on their BH and are seeking a bit of deception. Great for flicks, quick counters, and pushing close to table. A do all short pips rubber. Update 08/ 2022. Switched to Impartial XB for more speed and spin. Challenger is simply to slow except for defensive sty;e or beginners or players trying short pips for the first time. It's a great qua;ity rubber but lacks speed for the new poly ball.
Hi all. I'm using 1.9 red.
This wonderfull pips has Very good controll. Blocks are very efective specialy when take early on the rise. U can play active "flat" block (producing fast quite and dead ball), chop-block (litle underspin to dead balls) and block with top rotation. Hits are consistent. If U try play with spin ball trajectory is unpredictable and oponents had issues to read it. Remember one thing using this excellent pips out rubber - its perfect when U play active with it.
