This rubber is low throw, soft, spin insensitive, with poor spin, not very reactive, almost non tacky. Softer than LKT Rapid Sound.

The best thing about this rubber, aside from its affordability, is its weight. It's light for a chinese rubber. You can do everything with this rubber. Speed, spin and control are balanced. Not sure if this is a tensor rubber. Used it on my backhand. Black, max.

I bought a pair for my wife ended up using them myself. Nice, controllable, tacky, medium soft rubbers. They are slow as hell, but if you tune them and add 5 layers of water glue and use a hard offensive blade they become quite a spiny rubber for the controlled attacker. Mine are very tacky, good for brush loop. If i stick the paddle on the door it stays like that and it doesn't come off. They are like a light, soft, slow version of DHS. If you improve the slow part you get a good rubber.

love this rubber from the first attempt. on my BH, dwell time is very good and i can flip and loop better that my old rubber. i have a 2.2mm but it doesn't weight much.

Attached this to a LKT 9010 carbon blade on my forehand. To give an idea on tackiness it can pick up a ball from the table. However the rubber can't retain the ball. I went for this rubber after finding that a sheet of Hurracaine 2 was far to hard/fast as a rubber for me to loop with. The LKT rapid soft has a soft yellow sponge and a translucent-ish red topsheet which I like. The rubber is great for looping incoming slow balls as it has lots of control and the soft sponge allows the ball to dig in so you can impart your spin. Produces good spin from service however it won't generate as much as a really tacky sheet of Chinese rubber. Consequently it handles opponents spin better. I really like this rubber and I'd describe it as a tacky albeit slower version of Sriver. This could be too slow on a slower blade however on my blade I find it has acceptable speed. I would defiantly buy this rubber again as it suits my looping attack game and offers great control. It's also a great price!
