      unknown (Experience: 6〜10 years) A rubber usable on both sides

      Reviews by user

      It feels fairly hard to the touch, but once you actually hit with it, the feel is on the softer side and it bounces well.
      The spin isn't bad either. If anything I'd say it suits the forehand better, but I think it's actually a rubber you could use on both sides.

      It's just plain hard. I think people who like that will like it, though.

      Person with short pips on both sides Very easy to drive with

      Reviews by user

      I used to use this,
      and it was very easy to lift backspin balls with a drive.
      Even beginners can handle it well enough.
      The downsides are that it doesn't last long (maybe a bit fragile?), the short game is tricky, and it's a little heavy.

      Reviews by user

      The arc is really, really high.
      Thanks to that it's stable, but
      it's tough when you're trying to finish a point in one shot. Even my smash ended up arcing,
      and it got returned.
      It might be good for a first tension rubber, but
      it may not be enough for advanced players.

      Black tea lover (Experience: 2〜3 years) Bounces more than expected

      Reviews by user

      Just like the title says, it bounces more than I expected. But it still gets spin, and it holds its own in topspin rallies. It might be a perfect rubber for penhold loopers. That said, it bounces too much on things like the push, so you'll probably need to adjust your racket angle.

      It was really easy to use.
      The spin isn't insanely sharp, but it's decent, and both spin-focused drives and speed drives were easy to hit.
      The downside is that the short game (especially the push) is tricky because it bounces, and it's a bit heavy.

      MSN (Experience: 4〜5 years) A well-balanced rubber

      Reviews by user

      I normally use Fastarc G-1, so the first time I hit with this the bounce felt a bit lacking. Spin is very easy to generate and drives are stable. That said, hitting a powerful drive to finish the point off in one shot is tough unless you take a full swing. Also, it doesn't last long — the spin drops off quite a bit after about three weeks. After using it for a month, when I drive the ball it makes a squeaking sound and slides right off. It's also heavy. Still, for a rubber in the ¥4,000 range it's pretty good. By the way, it's easy to get pushed around from mid-distance to away from the table, so it suits close-to-the-table play.
