Being a spin-oriented rubber, it puts plenty of spin on the ball. On top of that, I'd say the speed is especially high. It's easy on the wallet too. I have this on my backhand and Vega Europe DF on my forehand, and the balance is good. I recommend this combination.

Used it on my backhand. It's soft so the ball sinks into the sponge nicely, and thanks to Dynamic Friction it has strong grip so it's easy to put spin on the ball. It's called Vega Asia DF, but the feel is actually closer to Vega Europe, which has the same hardness, rather than to Vega Asia itself. I used it on the backhand, but because the grip is strong and the ball stays on the rubber a bit longer, players who like harder rubbers might find it harder to control. It draws a nice arc, so even shots hit a bit too hard tend to land on the table. Topspin drives are easy to hit, but they tend to land shallow. If you like soft rubbers, it might be worth trying on the forehand too.

Currently using this on my backhand.
The name is a bit confusing, but this rubber actually has the same sponge hardness as the Europe version, not the Asia version.
So I'm going to review it in comparison with Vega Europe.First, when hitting flat, the ball comes out higher than with Europe. Because of that, I felt that Europe is intuitively easier to hit flat or block with. Well, since this one's soft, once you get used to it, it's also pretty easy to use in that department.
When you put topspin on it, the tendency to rise upward works in your favor — the ball grips more, so even with a slightly closed racket angle, the ball still comes out in the direction of your swing, which makes it easier to play a more modern style of table tennis.
That said, with a really strong impact, the ball does drop off, of course (especially on the forehand).
Compared to Vega Europe, pushes and stops don't float up as easily. It's probably more sensitive to spin than Europe.To sum up, I think this is a good-value rubber for beginners and intermediates, easy to recommend to anyone who wants a rubber that's easy to sink the ball into but wishes it had a bit more grip. In terms of feel, it's like a "Vega Europe Spin."

I put this on my chopping blade. Despite being soft, it has a high ceiling and doesn't lose much energy. It doesn't mysteriously drop off during counters either, so it's a good sheet.

Thanks to the Dynamic Friction (DF) technology, the spin was more than sufficient. Also, just as the manufacturer describes, there was plenty of speed as well. And the relatively soft 42.5-degree sponge brought good stability. It feels like Rigan Spin with a bit more speed added and a lower arc.

I bought this as my second rubber!
Compared to the Asia version, the DF treatment makes the ball land more consistently.
That said, at 42.5 degrees it's soft, so it might not be the best fit for the forehand.
For the forehand, something like Tour might be better...
Even so, I think it's more than good enough as a second rubber.
I'd really encourage you to give it a try at least once.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It's soft, doesn't slip, and bounces a reasonable amount. If you go with max thickness or higher and pair it with a blade that has a slightly softer bounce, I think you'll get great spin. Because the sponge is soft, hitting flat with a thinner sponge made me feel the blade underneath right away — that's how soft this rubber is. Serves have plenty of bite. With the grip you'd expect from a VEGA rubber and its good value for money, if you're going to play through six years of middle and high school, I think it's totally fine to use this rubber on both sides from beginner to graduation.
