Roundell gives you good control for the amount of speed & spin it produces.
This flexible rubber now comes with a harder, high density sponge that enables a stronger attack.
Roundell Hard is a High Tension rubber & is for players who need more consistency with their power game.

I put the max thickness version on my forehand, and it was really easy to handle! Serves come out with sharp spin, and short game techniques like pushes and stops were very easy to do! Drives lift the ball nicely too. Even people who aren't confident in their drive should find this easy to use. It's a rubber everyone should try at least once.

Even though the sponge is on the firm side, the topsheet is soft, so control is fairly easy. It also generates plenty of spin. It's also reasonably priced for a tension rubber, so I'd recommend it to anyone curious about what tension rubber is like and wanting to try one out.

Current blade: Japanese-style 10mm single ply (about 100g)
Rubbers used over the past year: Tenergy 80 max thickness, Super Ventus max thickness
With those rubbers the ball left the racket too fast and I couldn't control it (mainly couldn't generate spin or control depth), so on a friend's recommendation I switched to the Roundell Hard.
My first impression: even a full-swing hard hit stays on the table!
The topsheet is moderately soft, and so far there's no technique - serve, receive, block, etc. - that feels hard to execute.
The spin and speed feel like plenty for my level right now.
Besides single-ply blades, I think this would also be worth trying for anyone struggling with control on a speed-oriented blade that uses outer carbon or a hard wood layer against the rubber!

It doesn't feel as hard as the number suggests. Maybe the sheet is soft...? Other brands' 47.5-degree rubbers felt harder to me than this.
There aren't many rubbers at this hardness that focus on stability, so I'd recommend it if you want stability.
Compared to a softer rubber you do need to hit it properly, but since it doesn't fly too much and still has good stability, you can swing through with confidence. When you get a solid hit in, it's actually quite fast.
Lifting backspin isn't quite a full rip, but I didn't find it particularly hard to do either.
For the short game like pushes and receives, since it's hard it doesn't bounce much, which made things easy. Serves weren't very sharp though... can't be helped I guess.Also, flat hitting is really easy to do with this. It's hard and reasonably forgiving, so you can just keep smacking away.
I'd really recommend this as a first step for beginner-to-intermediate players on the forehand, or for anyone trying out a harder rubber for the first time.
High-end rubbers perform great, but they're often finicky over the table, which can end up with you beating yourself with your own equipment. Don't dismiss it just because it's "just a Roundell" — give it a try. The speed and spin aren't bad at all, and it's actually pretty practical in real matches. And it's cheap too!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Tried this with max thickness on the forehand.
When I used it on a penhold blade I thought it might be a bit hard, but depending on the blade it didn't actually feel that hard.When you really hit the sweet spot with this rubber, you get some really fast balls.
The normal version puts on spin more easily.
I also tried it on the backhand just to see, and it wasn't hard to use at all.
I'm still just getting started with it so I had some overshooting, but I feel like once I get used to it, this feeling could become addictive.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

A bit on the hard side but with good control too, a really nice rubber. It's not just about speed, so it's a very manageable rubber to use.
It's a rubber that works for everyone from beginners to advanced players.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I've been using tacky rubbers for 3 years, and normally I can't handle rubbers like high-tension ones, but I got used to this one right away. The hardness is also close to a tacky rubber, which is nice.
