The New Spin Machine!
No speed glue is needed! Trough continues testing it has been possible to concentrate the "tension increase" on the spin factor. Until now , "tension rubber" concentrated on increasing spin and speed equally but with the Yasaka concept the "spin tension" increase by 2/3rd and the speed tension increased by 1/2.XTEND does develop superior spin characteristics especially useful for the 40 mm ball.

I thought it felt similar to Rozena. The spin and speed are a step down, but the way it grips the ball and how easy it is to control feel similar. The ball sinks in easily, like a rubber with a spring sponge, and the feel on contact is absolutely amazing. People will probably be split on whether they prefer it on the forehand or the backhand, but I'd want everyone to try it at least once.

This is perfect for developing the feel of letting the ball sink into the sponge before hitting. Even with a hard swing, it doesn't produce that much speed, but it makes up for it with excellent spin and control, so I think it suits players who rely heavily on loop drives.
It feels like the topsheet wears out faster than the sponge does. Over time, it stops generating as much spin.

This feels like an early-generation tension rubber, era-wise. It makes a nice metallic sound when you hit a topspin drive. The trajectory is flat and direct, like modern speed-oriented tension rubbers. It felt like a toned-down Bryce Hi-Speed with more control added. If it's your first tension rubber, the Extend version is a better choice. There are differences between the Japanese and German-made versions, but in terms of rubber lineage, it feels similar to VICTAS's V>01.

I used this when I first started playing table tennis, but I felt it might not be enough for advanced players.
The control is amazing, though. It's clearly a beginner's rubber... funny how that works.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

It's easy to handle for a tension rubber. I'd recommend it as an entry point into tension rubbers. For matches, though, the lack of speed is undeniable, so I don't think it's really suited for competitive play.

It's easy to hit with in general, so even beginners should find it manageable. That said, it doesn't last long — the surface tackiness wears off faster than other rubbers. It only takes a few months before it stops gripping the ball, so it's better suited to people who replace their rubber often.

I used this on the forehand of a Chinese penhold blade.
This is the rubber that taught me how to put spin on the ball.
I think it's a rubber that makes it easy to get the feel of brushing the ball.
That said, I did feel like it was a bit prone to overshooting.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
