Hey! Few week ago I was in competitions and played against attacker. That time I played with Defence alpha+TSP Curl P1R 1.1 and had some problems with cutting because it was little bit faster.So I decidet to try Globe 979 but with sponge 0,5. Here is video of cutting with this rubber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA9GzVUlqXs I want ot say than this rubber is VERY control. It has not great speed, and because of it great control Here is few photo of this great rubber
