Bottom of the intermediate tier (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Should've gotten the thick version

I decided to get back into table tennis after a few years away, and this had a reputation for being easy to use plus it was cheap, so I bought it.
I wanted to practice things like fixing my form, so I thought lighter would be better and chose medium thickness.My honest impression was "it feels like short pips, but only when you hit hard," lol.
Serves, receives, and blocks all felt easy to do.
Drives felt like they came out flat.
A drive with both lift and power was beyond my own strength and technique.For a medium thickness, the sponge grips the ball reasonably well, but maybe the topsheet is weak, since the spin doesn't quite come through...
Maybe if I'd gone with thick, the ball would have sunk more into the sponge and I could have gotten more spin....?I've only used the medium thickness, but I think it would suit people like the following:
- Players who stay close to the table
- Players who take the ball early
- Players who are good at flicking-style techniques like flicks and meet-hits
- Players who want to hit flat, fast drivesOnce I'd gotten that out of my system, I tried putting it on a Nippon-penhold (Senkou) blade, and I got a ton of sharp drives out of it — that was pretty fun.

I was using Rakza 7, but partly due to my own arm technique I was making a lot of mis-hits, so I bought this looking for more stability.
Maybe it's the character of my blade, but the arc on my drives came out quite flat, and the amount of spin felt considerably less than I expected.
Online, a lot of comments said it was easy to put spin on, but blade compatibility really matters.
They say being easy to put spin on and actually getting spin are two different things, but with this combination both felt a bit lacking.
That said, the feel of meet-hitting was really good, and personally I found it easier to land shots than with Rakza 7.
I think the impression would change if I tried it with a pure wood blade, so I'd like to give that a try too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I bought this on a friend's recommendation! It was easy to put spin on, and handling the ball was easy too.
The bounce is just right and it's easy to use, so I'd really recommend it to anyone wanting to switch from a beginner rubber to a tension rubber!!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I'd say it's for beginner to intermediate players? Maybe because it's a rubber with good control, speed and spin are a bit mediocre. Pushes and loop drives are very easy to do.

It's ridiculously cheap, but the grip on the ball is addictive.
It's super easy to lift the ball on drives, and regardless of spin, control is amazing!
You can play anywhere from mid-distance to close to the table with it.
If I were to use this rubber myself, I'd probably put it on my backhand.
At 45 degrees it's around medium and a bit on the soft side, so it might still satisfy you from around 7th to 8th grade.
Also, this rubber is super light, so you can swing it easily.
However, it's a bit of a shame that the power on the ball drops a little.
It's a rubber with enough potential that I might buy an intermediate version the moment it comes out.
I think it works well as a bridge between beginner and intermediate level.
Rather than an inner or outer carbon blade, it matches better with a pure wood blade, so I think it's better to put it on a pure wood blade.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Even for an intermediate player like me, the grip on the ball feels great and shots land stably.
It also feels like something advanced players who want more stability could use, so it's a really good rubber.
I do feel it's lacking a bit in power, but the way it stays on the table stably feels really good.
It feels like an all-purpose rubber that works from a beginner's second rubber all the way to an advanced player's backhand.
I really wish they'd make a max-thickness version lol. It feels like such a good rubber that I might buy it the second a max-thickness version comes out.
If you just want stability above all, I think it'll be a great partner for you.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Barely more than a beginner (Experience: ４〜５ years) Great for switching to your first tension rubber!

I felt high-bounce rubber wasn't quite enough anymore, so I put this on my forehand at thick as my first tension rubber. The sponge is purple, which is pretty rare, isn't it?
I used to have Sriver in thick before, and after switching over it feels like it bounces quite a bit. It's easy to put spin on serves and control is more than enough. The feel of gripping the ball on a drive is easy to understand, so once you've learned the basics with a high-bounce rubber, I'd recommend switching to this one. It's a good first tension rubber, but it also gets plenty of bounce and spin, so it's one you can keep using for a long time.
Also, it's quite light and soft, so I'd also recommend it as a backhand rubber for upper-intermediate players.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
