It's a tacky rubber, but mine was only 44g at max thickness - light! It's top-class speed even among tacky-tension rubbers. There's no denying it has a bit of a wild, hard-to-control feel to it. If you're the type who plays a flat-hitting drive style without much refinement, it felt like the ball would fly off before you even got spin on it unless you had real skill. I think it's a good move for people transitioning from spin-oriented tension rubbers. It's not something people using non-tension tacky rubbers need to bother switching to. That said, I think it has its own strengths that are different from strong-tack rubbers. If you play with solid impact hits, using speed and well-spun balls, I felt you could really bring out this rubber's characteristics.

My impression is that it's a hard tension rubber. The harder you swing, the more the ball flies out. That said, the tack is still very much there. A recommended sheet for anyone who likes tacky rubber on their backhand.

Second-year junior high who could use tacky rubber (Experience: ２〜３ years) The spin and speed balance is so perfect, it's precious…

I switched to a tacky rubber for the first time in 8th grade.
Being a tacky rubber, it has plenty of spin, so factoring in things like Hurricane too, I'd give it a 9.
The speed was enough to change my image of tacky rubbers - not too fast, not too slow - so I'd give that an 8.
Control was a bit hard to manage since it's on the firmer side, so I'd give that a 7.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Even though it's a Chinese rubber, some individual sheets are surprisingly light. There's a lot of variation between individual sheets, which is actually a big advantage since it gives you more options to choose from.
Since it's from a slightly older generation, its max performance numbers are lower compared to recent tacky rubbers, but it still has enough potential to place well even in tournaments.
Imports from China have slowed down because of COVID, so stock is low everywhere - I'd recommend buying it quickly if you find it in stock!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I have this on both sides - max thickness on my forehand and thick on my backhand. "Perfect" is the word that fits this rubber. You can clearly switch between loop and speed, and once you get used to it, control is easy too. Even though it's cheap, the performance is top-notch - this is a rubber every tacky-rubber user should try at least once, though having the power to back it up is a must.

1. It really is a bouncy tacky-tension rubber!
2. It's light!
3. Even though it's light, it has that classic tacky feel and arc!
It was light enough that it was almost worrying. Because it's so light, depending on the blade you use, the ball might end up feeling a bit weak no matter what. If you're a Yasaka user, I think this is the kind of rubber that makes you want to mount it on a 7-ply blade like the Ma Lin Extra Special. It's bouncy and easy to handle, and if your opponent isn't used to facing it, it could work well for you - but I also think it's a rubber that, being an older design, can feel like it's a step behind against today's plastic balls. What I mean is, if the matchup is bad, the ball tends to get so light that opponents can counter everything.
I've also reviewed this on my blog, so please check that out for reference.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

(Forehand hitting)
Feels like hitting with an ordinary hard rubber.
(Drive)
If you swing with the image of contacting the ball and brushing slightly upward, it feels stable. If you brush it like you would with a grippy tension rubber, it drops off the table.
There isn't much feel on contact.
(Drive against backspin)
Lifts easily and is easy to use. There's some variation on the ball too, so opponents seem to have trouble reading it lol. You can also produce speed balls whenever you want.
(Short game)
Being a tacky rubber, stops really hold well as expected. Flicks fly through nicely too, which helps a lot. Chiquita works solidly as well.
[Summary]
I also tried it on my backhand, and it felt easy to use there too. At 48g it's light, so it's easy to swing. The downsides are that it doesn't produce tricky, unpredictable balls at all, and the ball leaves the rubber quickly. I'd definitely like people to use this as a reference.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
