Ham taro (Experience: ４〜５ years) Versatile medium-hardness rubber

I put the max-thickness version on the forehand of my Trinity Carbon, and Bombard extra-thin on the backhand.
It pairs a 45-degree medium-hardness sponge with a slightly soft sheet, and it feels a bit softer than something like Tenergy 05 or Vega Japan. I'd say the closest comparisons are the 80 or Ventus.This rubber can be summed up in one word: all-around. There's no technique it struggles with. The drive is especially worth noting — the arc on the drive is a touch lower than Vega Japan, but the ball still sinks solidly, so it lands consistently on the table. You can also make the most of the sheet's softness for meet-hitting, or its grip for a grazing stroke — both work well. I tried it on the backhand too, and meet-hitting, backhand drives, and the short game are all consistent.
I genuinely can't find a weakness. If I had to name one, it would be that the power is a little weaker than harder rubbers.Given all this, I'd recommend it for both the forehand and backhand of drive-oriented players who use medium-hardness sponges.

What I thought when I used it was that it feels similar to Tenergy 05.
The ball sinks into the sponge in a pretty similar way.
On top of that, it spins even better, so you can unleash a heavy shot.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

A bit late to this, but I bought it because it was on sale cheap at auction.
For spin, it's below R but above V; for speed, it's below V but above R. It's truly "The In-Between." That's fine in its own way, though...
I'd like to see this come back too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It's been discontinued since the Rasanter line came out, but I think some shops probably still have stock of this rubber.
Just like the name says, it's a rubber where you really feel the grip.
In my experience, it's not a rubber where the whole surface grabs the ball for spin — it felt more like the sheet stretches a lot and the spin comes from the sheet itself.
The arc is high, and if you hit it hard, you get good speed too.
That said, because the sheet is soft and stretches easily, I felt it was harder to do meet-and-hit type shots with it.
It's not actually a soft rubber, but it feels soft, with that thick, heavy contact feel typical of recent German-style rubbers.
Since it's discontinued you can't really rebuy it, but if you happen to find one, I think it's worth trying out.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Just like the name "Grip" suggests, it has excellent grip on the ball, and if you brush it in a hooking motion, it spins really well.
Because of that, it also picks up a lot of the opponent's spin.
Also, the pips are spaced a bit wider apart, so it feels soft.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It balances control and spin well — it's easy to put spin on and the amount of spin is high.
The downside, I think, is that it's a bit lacking in speed.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Nameless expert (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A rubber that rivals Tenergy

This rubber is easy to handle, gets good spin, and has good speed, so I recommend it. I have it on a Ma Long Carbon blade, and it gives even more speed and spin, so I've been able to hit counters and low-arc topspin drives one after another. Just note that it's not like using this rubber alone made me able to do that. If you can't afford Tenergy, this rubber is a good option. By the way, I have Hurricane Neo 3 on my forehand. It's manageable even for junior high schoolers who are still growing and developing. Also, a blade with good speed works well with it. The WG7 is a bit pricey at 8000 yen, but it's way better than buying an expensive blade you can't handle, so I recommend it.
