      Ham taro (Experience: 4〜5 years) Stable drive

      Reviews by user

      When I first posted a review, I didn't really get what was so good about it, but after using it for several months, I finally understand.

      This rubber makes drives really stable, above all else.
      I haven't fully developed a feel for putting spin on the ball, but even I can get spin with this. It draws a high arc and still lands solidly in the opponent's court. I'd really recommend it for players who mainly use loop drives.
      The sheet is a bit hard, but you get solid spin whether you sink the ball in or brush it.

      The downside is probably the short game. Like others have said, I get the impression it sails a bit long or floats up.

      Overall, the spin is plentiful and the control is good, so I'd recommend it for the forehand of players who mainly use loop drives, or anyone using a spin-oriented tension rubber for the first time.
      (That said, if you're switching over from a control-type rubber, be careful — it might bounce a bit too much.)

      wig (Experience: 11〜20 years) It is stable

      Reviews by user

      The stability is more than good enough, and the ball just goes in. It has good speed too. But the amount of spin is a bit lacking, so it's not suited to players who rely on spin to dominate.
      I think it suits players who prioritize stability and like to build up rallies.

    • (Experience: 6〜10 years) Excellent among medium-hardness rubbers

      Reviews by user

      I used the max thickness version. Before cutting it was 63.9g, after cutting 48.5g.

      For a 45° hardness rubber, it flies pretty far, and I feel the sheet is slightly harder than the sponge hardness would suggest.
      The good points are that the sheet grip and how well the ball sinks into the sponge are both good, so you can go for both sheet shots and flat hits.
      Personally it feels like a proper evolution of Vega Europe.

      If you're going to use it, I'd assume it's as a 2nd rubber or later, but the sheet's sensitivity might be a bit of a hurdle for beginners.
      Also, since the weight is on the heavier side too, if you factor that in, it might be worth skipping straight to the G-1 thickness for the sake of manageability.

      For the price, getting to experience such a serious, proper feel might be the biggest advantage.

      Only the forehand is poor (Experience: 2〜3 years) Recommended as your second rubber

      Reviews by user

      I used it on my forehand. It's easy to put spin on, so I'd recommend it for someone about 2 years into playing table tennis. Its strong point is how easily the ball sinks into the sponge on serves and blocks. You can play offensively with it too.

      Intermediate (Experience: 4〜5 years) The strongest, if only it lasted longer

      Reviews by user

      It gets decent spin and has a vibe similar to Tenergy, but after a month the spin dropped off hard and the ball stopped carrying through.
      It really feels like it's aimed at people who like Tenergy but want to buy something cheaper.

      vega user (Experience: 2〜3 years) Great

      Reviews by user

      I think this suits the forehand. It takes time to get used to, but once you master it, it's really strong. It has a firm core, so it holds up well to hard hits. Serves and drives are easy to pull off, and there wasn't anything else that felt hard to do. I think it's a rubber with a good balance of speed and spin. You won't regret buying it. Sorry for the long review.

      Mysterious okaki (Experience: 2〜3 years) The spin on loop drives!!! But the serve...

      Reviews by user

      I have it on my forehand. You can tell when a loop drive catches the net. The amount of spin is insane! But for some reason regular serves don't get much spin. They get some spin, but I can't really recommend it to someone who wants to "pour everything into their serve!!!" Also, pushes feel like they pop up at first, but once you get used to it, that's not the case at all. And even though I say "once you get used to it," it didn't actually take that long to get used to. (lol) I'd recommend it as a second rubber.
