BLADE STROKE PERFORMANCE
SPEED
Like all Defensive (DEF) table tennis blades, Karma is definitely not made for speed. It is comprised of 5 soft and medium-soft layers of wood strategically layered in order to increase its defensive capabilities. Because of this, players will not be able to produce the same amount of speed that harder woods or carbon layers can generate. That being said, if you are at a Beginner or Beginner+ level, this will have more than enough pace for you to get a feel for the game of table tennis.
CONTROL
Simply put, Karma has incredible control. Our testing team had no problem placing the ball precisely where they needed it to be on the table. Karma really shines when it comes to defensive blocking both close and far from the table. Because of Karma's soft wood composition, it has astounding control for chop blocks specifically. Whether it is deep corner topspin or short spinny pushes, any player from Beginning to Advanced will fall in love with how this blade controls the ball.
TOUCH
Karma was specifically engineered for touch. The soft woods used in this blade increase the balls dwell time on the blade and resulted in magnificent touch. And not just great touch on defensive strikes. Players will have great feel on chops, pushes, topspin, loops, and more!
CONSISTENCY
Much like Karma's control and touch, this table tennis blade is extremely consistent. Our testing team was able to duplicate the placement of their shots time and time again with this blade. Because of its extremely high consistency, this blade is perfect for defensive minded players as well as beginners who are working on their shot placement. Players wielding this blade will find themselves very confident in the placement of their shots.
RUBBER STROKE PERFORMANCE
SERVE
Our testing team found that Autopilot was capable of consistently producing short (low-to-medium spin) serves that would land just beyond the net. These serves immediately place your opponent on defense and allow you to dictate the play of the point. That being said, our testers did find that Autopilot can be more difficult to produce a large amount of speed and spin on deep serves due to the slower speed of this rubber.
TOPSPIN
Autopilot produces a surprisingly good amount of topspin. Our testers noticed a bit of difficulty when reaching forward to counter underspin with topspin, especially when the ball is close to the net. That being said, this table tennis rubber is very good at generating topspin on balls that reach over the edge the table.
LOOPING
Autopilot is excellent when it comes to looping. Additionally, this rubber is great for players that are not 100% confident in their looping skills because it was developed to have a slower return speed. This, in turn, this keeps the ball in play much more consistently. Our team recommended this rubber for players that loop close to the table.
PUSH
Autopilot makes it easy to dictate the placement of the ball when pushing. While players may not produce ridiculous spin from their pushes when using Autopilot, they will produce a reasonable amount of spin with increased consistency and accuracy.
CHOP
Autopilot is easily one of the best chopping rubbers that CounterStrike Table Tennis has to offer. Because Autopilot was created to increase the dwell time of the ball, it is able to produce quality spin. Players using this table tennis rubber will also have the ability to go all out when chopping returns and still keep the ball in play.
BLOCK
Blocking is where Autopilot shines as a rubber. Developed to reduce the ball speed of one’s opponent as well as increase ball placement consistency, keeping the ball in play via blocks can be achieved with relative ease.
FLAT HIT
Our testers found that Autopilot is surprisingly proficient at flat hits. This is especially the case with flat smashes. Our testers found that the faster the strike on the ball, the more accurate the placement.
FLICK
Flicks were exceedingly consistent due to the slower speed of the rubber. This means players can easily keep the ball in play even on their most wicked of backhand flicks.
