      Taro 卍 (Experience: 4〜5 years) Amazing

      Reviews by user

      This rubber's package color looks a lot like Vega Pro, and with Vega X coming out recently too, it hasn't been getting much attention, has it?
      But this thing is amazing. Control is top-notch, drives are easy to hit, and the short game is easy too. I don't really get why it's overlooked. I've never hit with Tenergy or Fastarc, but I can hold my own just fine with this. Why not give it a try?

      mushroom (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to block cuts

      Reviews by user

      Above all, it's easy to chop-block against loop drives. If you let the ball sink in a bit and hit it, it gets solid spin. For players looking for stability.

      Naminami no Nami Not really worth buying nowadays

      Reviews by user

      ☆To start☆
      I don't think this counts as one of today's mainstream spin-tension rubbers. It's more of a speed-type rubber. It suits beginner to intermediate level players.
      Given that it's called "Japan," I haven't used it myself, but I'd guess it's the same type as the Tenergy 64 line.
      【Pros】
      It's a relatively soft rubber, so control doesn't feel difficult, and it gives an impression of stability. The arc is on the higher side. If you let the ball sink in, it produces decent speed.
      It's not much affected by incoming spin, and it's a rubber that's easy to meet-hit with.
      I've seen a lot of reviews saying stops pop up, but you can actually stop the ball dead right at the edge of the net. Blocks and counters are where this rubber's strengths really come out, I think.
      【Cons】
      Its lifespan is fairly short. After about a month of use, it started to feel like it was slipping.
      Sometimes serves don't get as much spin as I expect.
      Lifting backspin makes me a little uneasy. It feels safer to match the angle carefully... Other than that, I don't think you should rely too much on the ball's grip. You need to decide whether to really let it sink in or go with a meet-hit style.

      That's about the gist of it, but
      honestly, I can't deny it feels like a rubber from an older generation. These days there are rubbers that are just as easy to use, get more spin than this, and are cheaper...

      Homoko (Experience: 4〜5 years) Perfect for drive players!!

      Reviews by user

      When I bought it, it was pretty cheap, so I picked it up and tried it out.
      As a test, I put it on the forehand of my Ratika 7 (with Rasant AR42 on the backhand) and hit a few drives.
      When I did, the ball drew a really smooth arc and landed on the table.
      This rubber is a bit on the hard side, but the ball still sinks into it enough to get quite a lot of spin.
      So it's a perfect rubber for intermediate players who want more power on their drives.
      {If you want to improve your drive's accuracy, I think PRO or Tour would be better than Japan. I think it's better to raise the power first and then work on drive accuracy after that (^^)v (this is just my personal opinion)}

      Mikan who likes table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) Made for full swings?

      Reviews by user

      Borrowed a friend's to test (used on the forehand of a blade with a softish carbon layer)
      The speed on a full swing is insane... (if you get the ball to sink in, you can hit it at max speed) Topspin rallies are good
      ↑On the flip side, if you don't full-swing it, it loses speed and dives straight into the net
      The short game is so-so (neither good nor bad)
      Spin is mediocre (not that easy to put spin on)
      Control is 50/50 (kind of hard to get a read on)
      Recommended for third-ball-attack players who want to improve their shot placement (might also hold up in rally exchanges)

      I'm a chopper, so this is a chopper's perspective.
      First of all, it performs way better than you'd expect for this price. It seems designed to be a bit on the harder side once you've been hitting with it, so chops in particular are really easy to do. I'd also recommend it to people who are struggling to get the feel for chopping or can't get much spin on the ball, and to those who want to add a bit more attack to their game. Backhand serves get the most bite.
