Kokutaku 119 Short Pips Table Tennis Rubber

The Kokutaku 119 is a classic short pips-out table tennis rubber designed for players who favor speed, direct hits, and flat attacking play. With its compact pip geometry and firm pip structure, the 119 delivers a crisp, low-arc response that excels in fast drives, blocks, and punch shots, especially close to the table.

Compared with inverted rubbers, Kokutaku 119 produces less spin sensitivity and a flatter trajectory, allowing players to take the ball early and apply pressure with quick, decisive strokes. Incoming spin is partially neutralized, making it easier to block and counter aggressively without being affected by heavy topspin.

The short pips are evenly spaced and relatively stiff, offering excellent control at high speed and a very direct ball feel. While spin generation is lower than inverted rubber, the Kokutaku 119 compensates with speed, stability, and consistency, making it ideal for fast-paced offensive play and rhythm control.

Available in OX (no sponge) and thin sponge versions, the Kokutaku 119 can be adapted to different styles—from maximum control and disruption with OX, to more attacking power and rebound when used with sponge.
