Put the thick red version on the backhand of my shakehand.
This falls into the bouncy category. The ball flies with light effort. But it doesn't grip much spin, so it needs a bit of extra control. Because of that, you might easily overshoot the table in tense moments.
Also, since the sheet doesn't grip well, techniques that need a thin layer of spin, like chiquita, are pretty much impossible unless you have real skill. But blocks and counters are quite easy.
If you use it, put it on the backhand. This is for people who want to try a second rubber or their first tension rubber. Might also work for single-sided penhold??
I can't really recommend it though.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Using this on the backhand of a Chinese penhold, thick thickness.
Even with a compact swing it feels like it really digs into the opponent's body. The sense of speed is top-notch, especially in fast-paced, quick-tempo rallies.
Blocks and counters are also easy and return in a straight line to the opponent's court, so if you place your shots well, your opponent is bound to hate playing against you.
The short game doesn't feel especially hard either.
Highly recommended for players who mostly fight close to the table.
Also, since this rubber is very lightweight, it helps lower the overall weight, which is a common headache for penhold players.
However, the grip on the ball is weaker compared to other rubbers, so if you hit a loop or a connecting drive, it often gets countered.
If you get pushed back to mid-distance, I feel like you lose your power all at once.I've mentioned the downsides, but overall I rate it very highly. I think it's kind of the answer for the backhand side of a Chinese penhold.

It has a lot of speed and flat hitting is easy.
That said, the grip is weak, so against backspin it tends to drop into the net on a drive.
I'd recommend it for players who attack with flat hits.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

Just like the title says. Blocks really do go in almost on their own. Countering is easy too, so it's perfect on defense.
On offense, speed drives don't have enough spin so they get blocked easily, but if you pick your course you can still get enough speed to get through, and if you really muscle a loop you can generate enough spin to blow past a block. (Since you're forcing it, it obviously doesn't work every time.)
If I have a complaint, it's that when I chiquita a heavily spun serve, it often clips the ball and drops short. This seems to happen more when trying to chiquita fast. Because of that, I've started doing my chiquita in reverse.
I mainly play forehand so it doesn't bother me much, but if you swing your backhand a lot and want both speed and spin, this might not be for you.If you don't swing your backhand much and are just looking for a rubber that goes in reliably without mistakes, with no big holes on offense, this one is recommended.

It was stronger than I expected.
The speed is obviously super fast, goes without saying (lol).
Blocking is easy too, which is nice.
I'd recommend using this on the backhand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

All four sides (Experience: ４〜５ years) Cheap but bouncy

At a list price of 4,400 yen, it's cheap compared to other rubbers in the same class. It's got performance good enough to be used by a pro like Kasumi Ishikawa, so when you think of it that way, it really is a bargain. That said, it's bouncy enough that the ball tends to come out light. The sponge is soft, so flat hits, serves, and the short game are easy, but the rubber feels like it can't keep up on loop drives or topspin rallies. Against tacky rubber, you get overpowered.

I used the thick version on both sides, and the speed is pretty solid. But the spin isn't much, and I feel like I get a bit more overshoot misses. For someone without much power like me, I'd recommend this over Rozena. Sorry for the long review.
