Dark chocolate (Experience: ２〜３ years) Let's put on some soft rubber.

The racket itself has strong rebound and a firm feel, so it's recommended to use a softer rubber with a sponge hardness of less than 50 degrees.
Also, high-bouncing tension rubbers are not recommended, as the ball will fly off before you can apply spin.I use Victas Zegna 2.0 on my forehand and Dr. Neubauer A-B-S 3 2.0 on my backhand.
Speed drives from the front to mid-court are very fast and powerful, and I found it easy to apply spin-focused, arcing drives.
Regarding the anti-spin on the backhand, the A-B-S 3 provides excellent stopping power.When blocking the opponent's drives, I didn't feel overwhelmed on either my forehand or backhand; I was able to receive and return the ball like a wall.
Personally, I like the sound of the ball when hitting it, and I particularly like the sharp sound when hitting hard.
If you use long pimples, variable short pimples, or anti-spin rubber and want to attack with more aggressive pushes and knuckle shots, or if you want to increase the power of your forehand drives and smashes, then I highly recommend you give this a try.

German Potato (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Speeding-ticket, car-crash racket (insanely fast)

*For context, it's been six months since I switched from inverted rubber on both sides to short pips on the backhand.
[Summary, since this got long]
○Pros
- Insanely fast initial speed, easy to disrupt opponents who stay close to the table
- In a good way, it's hard to be affected by the opponent's spin, so early-timing counters are easy
- Long serves get good speed even with a light, relaxed swing
- The racket itself is light, so you won't be late on your swing even without much strength
○Cons
- Almost no sense of the ball sinking into the sponge (might also be an effect of the New Zone)
- It flies so much that blocking needs careful adjustment
- The short game is difficult - stops tend to pop up, and chiquitas go into the net
○Overall assessment
I think this suits women players who stay close to the table and want to win points by rallying steadily. Because the initial speed is so fast, it's like a traffic accident for opponents who can't handle it by backing off. I don't think it's a good fit for players who want to attack with heavy topspin drives, because it leaves spin behind.Since the short pips rubber I used is VO102, I think the picture would change with an unpredictable, knuckle-type pips rubber like the Attack8 that Ando uses.
It wasn't the racket I was hoping for, so I didn't end up adopting it, but I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to catch their opponent off guard with speed.
