Yutchi @ cut Might be good for Iseki-san, lol

This might work well for Iseki-san lol - I think it suits players with a style like his, with solid impact and shaking up the opponent with spin, but it's a difficult rubber for intermediate players.

Front-end haste (Experience: ４〜５ years) A classic tacky rubber!

This is an old-school tacky rubber. It gives off the same impression as TSP's 730 or Hurricane 2 — heavy and not very bouncy. I'm using it on an inner-ply blade, but I think it'd be far better on an outer-ply blade. It's hard to handle unless you're someone who can brush the ball well, but I think it's definitely worth trying.

The moment I bounced a ball on it right after mounting it, I was shocked at how little it bounced.
That said, it gives more than enough distance for trading shots from mid-distance.
When you take a full, proper swing, it flies well and lands well, so it was comfortable to use with no unpleasant feeling.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I'd put this in the "very good" category.
In terms of bounce, it goes 401 > 999 > Hurricane, and even on a mishit the ball won't fly wildly out of the opponent's court. Spin is fairly easy to generate, so you don't need to be nervous about pushes or especially chops.
Control is excellent — during a chop, you can add or remove backspin just by being a little conscious of your wrist angle, but when you do chop with backspin, you need to add a bit of a push forward or it'll catch the net. Of course that's no issue once you get used to it, and there's no problem with reach on attacking shots.
As for chopping style, rather than a high, arcing return, it's easier to make contact higher and send the ball in more of a straight line, so an aggressive chopping style suits it well. I'd say it's the best choice for choppers who use, or are aiming for, a sharp downward chop.
This time I went with thick, but next time I'm thinking of trying max thickness.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I put max thickness on the forehand side of my Liberta Willow.
It's very hard and doesn't bounce much. From a chopper's point of view, that's a blessing because it kills the opponent's power shots.
The tackiness is quite strong, so once you get the knack for how to stroke it, you can generate powerful spin.
As for counterattacking, from far behind the table you can use a grazing topspin drive, or if you catch the ball right on the sweet spot, you can even smash.
Either way, especially for attacking, it takes a fairly high level of skill, so I'd recommend it for players who already have solid fundamentals.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Wipe (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Actually for advanced players

I use this on the forehand side of a forehand-drive, backhand-chop chopper style.
No issues with backspin-based techniques.
As for driving, unlike the recent spin-tension rubbers, it definitely doesn't just add spin for you or let a lazy swing produce a good ball (lol)
You need solid weight transfer and a proper impact, but once you get that, it produces a heavier, more spin-loaded ball than other Chinese rubbers.
So I'd say this is a rubber for advanced players who don't want to spend a lot of money on table tennis gear (lol)All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Switching over from a tension rubber, the first thing I noticed was that it just doesn't bounce.
At first I couldn't even clear the net.
You won't get much spin either unless you know how to use tacky rubber properly.
But because it doesn't bounce on its own, serves, receives, blocks etc. all land on the table easily.
If you play further back it's tough since you don't get much distance, but I found it to be a strong weapon close to the table.
I'd say it suits players who prioritize spin and play close to the table.
It's also quite hard, so if you're not a fan of hard rubbers you might find it frustrating.
The tackiness is on the light side, and at thick thickness in a Butterfly regular size it weighed 52g - that classic Chinese-rubber heft.
Also, with Free Chack 2 glue it started peeling off quickly, so I'd recommend Fine Zip instead.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
