If you really grip the ball and go for a full swing, you can overwhelm your opponent with power. My own Koki Niwa Wood blade is light, so the total weight comes to 179g, which lets me swing fully. I think only top-level players like Niwa or Kenji can fully swing through with a blade in the high 80g range, so I'd recommend pairing this with a lighter blade.
Counters are also easy to pull off, and it makes table tennis fun. Recommended.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

V15 is hard to use — that was my first impression.
Forehand progression: Tenergy 05 → Rakza 7 → G1 → V15
Backhand progression: Tenergy 05 → V15
Once you figure out how to hit with it, it's the strongest. It's a rubber that prioritizes speed over spin. It's easy to vary things like speed and spin. Only the serve needs some extra work, but I'd recommend this to people who don't rely on winning points off their serve.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

If anything, I felt this suits players who attack with speed and power through the ball, rather than players with a spin-focused style built around loops. That's not to say it lacks spin, though. Even on shots where it felt like there wasn't much spin when I hit them, there ended up being more spin than expected, so spin isn't really an issue either. As for the commonly mentioned problem of the ball flying long, compared to other rubbers I did feel it flies more, but that's something you can improve with practice and adjusting how you hit, so it wasn't a major complaint for me.
That said, my impression is that serves specifically are fairly hard to put spin on. Part of that may be my own lack of skill, but with serves specifically, it's hard to tell whether there's much spin on the ball or not.
Also, for penhold players, this gets heavy overall, so I felt you'd need to make adjustments like using a lighter rubber on the reverse side or building up your strength.
Other than that, there are no particular issues with any other part of your game, so I'd like players who prefer a harder rubber to give this a try.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I bought this wanting to play in a style like Niwa's, and I think the speed is really impressive. However, unless you're reasonably used to it, you might not be able to generate spin and might struggle to handle it. Counters are just really easy to pull off, above all else. Even with some margin of error in your angle, the ball still tends to go in the way you intend. On counters against loop drives, the rubber sometimes slips a bit, and I found that using that slip to your advantage makes it easier. It's also quite heavy, so if you're putting it on both sides, I'd recommend it for someone with power, or pairing it with a lighter blade.

Speed & Spin & Short game: The speed is a bit slower than I expected. The maximum spin potential is high, but unless you really understand the rubber's quirks to draw that maximum out, you tend to get weakly-spun balls. It's consistent, but the spin is a bit thin; the chiquita is quite consistent though. Counter & Block & Drive: The sheet is firm, so as long as your timing is right, even a somewhat careless hit will land on the table. It's consistent just like the counter, and if you block with a slightly rising-ball feel, the consistency goes up even more. Close-to-the-table drives can be hit with real power, but loop drives tend to come out flat and lifeless, so you always need to make contact at a higher point. Close-to-the-table & Mid-distance: Close to the table, it's flawless — drives, blocks, and counters that use the opponent's ball, a stable short game, it's nearly perfect! Unless you can hit with real power, you'll only get weak balls.
I'm known locally as a power player, but at mid-distance the ball ends up only barely at a usable level, and it's only in intense topspin rallies that the performance really comes out — so I wouldn't recommend it for that.
Conclusion: this is a rubber for intermediate-to-advanced players suited to close-to-the-table fast attacks and powerful drive players.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

It said the German hardness was 47.5, but it sank in surprisingly well. It's just heavy. When switching to this, I'd recommend pairing it with a lightweight carbon blade (like a Cantor FOOFF).

This is tough if you don't have power.
This rubber is good for about the first week after you buy it.
But once a week passes, it turns into a completely different rubber.
If you've used the 15 Extra, I think you've probably noticed this too.
Unless you get a solid impact on your drive, the ball comes out flat and lifeless, and the drive kind of stalls out — that part was bad. If you lay your racket face flat when hitting, the ball will definitely fall short, so lifting a shallow ball in one shot like you would with Tenergy takes considerable skill.
Another downside is that loop drives surprisingly don't pick up much spin. Though that might be my own technique's fault.
As for the good points, it's the counter. This is the one thing that was easier with this rubber than any other. Just a small step-in and a hit, and you get a good ball — I never feel like I'll lose out to the rubber.
I think it's a rubber that basically sinks the ball in on its own, off the opponent's spin and speed.
So I get that people who use this rubber might look up to players like Koki Niwa, but pick a rubber that suits your own level! lolAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
