The sponge is soft, but the sheet is fairly hard.
If you put it on a special-material or 7-ply blade, the blade's bounce sends the ball off before the sponge can even engage, so you can't really grip the ball.
As for lifting backspin, a 5-ply blade can just about manage it, but on a blade with hard-or-more bounce, brushing the ball is difficult.
The speed is decent enough - fairly average for the price range, but slow compared to rubbers overall.
It's easy to use in topspin rallies. Given the stability of blocks and meet shots, it suits beginners on the backhand who don't use a third-ball backhand topspin drive.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use CLIPPER WOOD

A friend of mine uses this, and this is my impression after getting to hit with it.
The first thing I noticed hitting with this rubber was how well balanced it is.
It's on the softer side, but in the short game it doesn't behave as wildly as I expected, and stops and flicks aren't hard to do either.
Topspin drives arc nicely.
Lifting backspin isn't hard either.
Blocking is also easy.
Every technique felt balanced and reassuring.
It really reminded me of the feeling of hitting with the old Hammond series coated in glue, back in the day.That said, how you rate this rubber will probably depend a lot on what you're looking for.
It's a well-balanced, model-student type of rubber, but since it doesn't have much personality, it feels like a rubber that's hard to make your own signature with.Speed and spin fall short compared to high-end rubbers.
You won't get tacky-rubber-style tricky balls out of it.
It's also hard to produce nasty shots in the short game.If you're looking for some kind of personality in a rubber, I don't think this one fits.
On the flip side, I'd recommend this for shakehand players whose backhand is mostly blocking.
It also seems like it would suit the reverse side of a penhold blade.Also, I think it could work as a rubber for both sides for a beginner who's been playing table tennis for a while and has developed some basic skill.
Paired with a Swat blade, it feels like a combination that's cost-effective and can be used for a long time.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The performance wasn't quite what I expected, but I think it's more of a speed-oriented rubber than a spin-oriented one.
I'd put it in the easy-to-use category.The value for money is good, and the purple sponge looks cool.
Beginners, why not give it a try?All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I put this on for my younger brother (he'd been using Mark V), and he made it to the final four at the prefectural cadet tournament. It's apparently excellent for developing feel and spin technique, and the spin really grips a lot (according to a Mark V user's judgment).

After switching to tension rubbers, I had this on my forehand for a long time.
It seems to be a milder, more well-rounded version of the same maker's Fastarc C1.
You can play a stable game with just the right balance across every technique.
The light weight is also a plus, and considering the price and lifespan, the value for money is quite excellent.
Personally, I found the bounce when playing away from the table, and the sharpness on serves, a bit lacking, but for the purpose of getting used to tension rubbers, it didn't bother me.
Given the hardness, I also thought it would work fine on the backhand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Speed shots feel sharp, but I think the power is a bit on the modest side.
The short game and blocking are quite stable.
Personally, being able to hit a low, extending topspin drive with high precision is really great.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Stops are easy to do, but they lack power.
Lifting backspin is also hard, so it felt different from what I expected.
I think it's good for the backhand though.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
