Got a range of JUIC table tennis rubbers and blades now, hope to test at least a few of them shortly. JUIC is a Japanese company that makes some very good and high quality products.
Got the following:
Rubbers: Nano Cannon, Couga, Varites, Driva Smash Ultima, Leggy Defense 1.0mm, JUIC 999 Elite Ultima, Offense Ultima.
Blades: Hinoki Shake, Air Texa, Bamboo Shot, Texalium
Ecolo Expander II
First of the ranks is the JUIC Leggy Defence 1.0mm:
First impressions:
- Very high quality
- It plays like a grippy pip
- Feel a little fast on chopping but good feel and some grip
- excellent on counterhitting or attacking backspin.
- Flat blocks takes the spin off against topspin, not that much reversal
- Excellent for chop block or sidespin blocks
- Dropshots are tough since it feels a little springy.
Seems like it's got good potential... I hope to try it against some real players tomorrow. The ball machine never seems good for testing wobble balls, nor does it show the unintential variation in spin, so I'll have to test that in practice as well.
Happy to take requests on what I test next...

Excellent Blog. Keep up the good work.
What would you recommend for a ten year old who is developing an offensive style? Blade, rubber (what thickness is better - 2.2 or 1.5?), handle style? I have always liked AN.
Hi! Can you test the Nanocannon next?
It looks very interesting
