    Roundell... The Next Step Towards Greatness.
    Gives you good control for the amount of speed and spin that can be produced due to the very flexible top sheet and sponge.

      Yokota (Experience: Less than a year) The sponge is just so soft

      Reviews by user

      Serves have decent bite

      Topspin drives are hard to do (personally)

      Everyone else said it was easy to use, but it didn't suit me

      Still, I think the performance is really good
      Can't recommend it for hard hitters
      Personally I'd recommend it to people who like a softer feel

      Yokotsumi (Experience: 6〜10 years) A safe choice for backhand, I think.

      Reviews by user

      The first thing I noticed was how surprisingly little grip on the ball it has. It also looks just like Bryce. I think Bryce Hi-Speed lets you put on stronger spin. Either way, this isn't a rubber I'd recommend to players who prioritize spin amount on their serves. That said, I think this rubber is worth using on the backhand, where it's a very well-balanced rubber that can do just about anything. Up through intermediate level, hardly anyone actually needs strong grip on the backhand, so this amount of grip is, if anything, easier to use. Pushes don't fly off in weird directions or anything, and compared to other soft rubbers it has fewer real weaknesses.

      EK (Experience: 6〜10 years) Doesn't sweat the small stuff

      Reviews by user

      I used it on my forehand at first.
      Serves stayed short and fairly plain, with no versatility to speak of. What surprised me was the receive. Without being affected by incoming spin, I could just swing and flicks and pushes would land where I wanted. However, when I looped a backspin ball, the lifting power was insane and I kept sending it long, over and over. It didn't match my swing image, and since it's also too soft, I felt like I was losing power, so I switched it to my backhand.
      On the backhand, on the other hand, the versatility went up dramatically and it was easy to use. Receives, blocks, meet-hits, and backhand drives don't produce amazing shots, but they all land right where I aim, no matter what.
      It's a rubber where you don't have to worry about the details - you just hit and it goes in - so I'd recommend it for a backhand where stability is the priority.

      This is the well-known, dependable Roundell. It doesn't give you crazy amounts of spin or tons of speed, but it's barely affected by incoming spin, so it's an outstandingly easy rubber to use!

      The Korbel Lovers Society (Experience: 4〜5 years) Good balance I think

      Reviews by user

      I first put it on my forehand, and I was surprised that I could barely get any spin on my serves at all. I'd had Mark V HPS on the other side, and the difference was night and day. Topspin drives don't get much spin either, so the ball flies in a flat line - it gave me the impression that it's not suited for forehand use. On the other hand, for backhand use it strikes me as a solid rubber with no real weaknesses. The short game is easier to control than with other tension rubbers, and blocks and other meet-the-ball techniques are good too, plus it's easy to put spin on, so I thought it was a well-balanced rubber suited to any technique on the backhand. But once you become an advanced player, I imagine everything about it would start to feel lacking.

      Genius Table Tennis (Experience: 4〜5 years) Blown away by how easy it is to use!!

      Reviews by user

      First, spin.
      Maybe it's partly because I had a tacky protective sheet on it, but it really grips the ball a lot. Not quite as much as Fastarc G-1, but it still had good grip. I was also happy that serves stayed short and easy to keep in (since mine tended to run long before).
      Next, speed.
      When I let the ball sink in and hit through it, I got about the same speed as Rasant Power Grip. Loop drives and speed drives both got plenty of spin too, so I'm very satisfied.

      That's about it. Control was flawless as well.
      The durability lasted longer than I expected too, which was nice. A rubber I'd highly recommend.

      It's a little on the soft side, but the hardness is just right for using on both forehand and backhand.
      There's enough speed and spin that I have no complaints, and above all it's easy to use, which is great.
      The control is good, and I can hit the ball exactly where I'm aiming.
      I thought it was a pretty highly polished rubber overall.
