The medium speed of this blade empowers players to transition effortlessly between offensive and defensive strategies, making it an invaluable tool for those seeking versatility on the table.

We engineered this blade to offer players an exceptional level of control over their shots, enabling precise and strategic ball placement. With this ALL- blade, players can dictate the pace of the game, maneuver the ball with finesse, and efficiently counter strike even the most difficult of 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.
