This is a control-focused rubber.
You shouldn't expect too much in terms of spin and speed.
The bounce is kept in check too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I bought this after hearing it's somewhere between Tenergy 64 and 80.
My honest impression is that it's easy to put spin on and the ball draws a nice arc as it rockets off.
Control is excellent and blocking is stable too, though you need to pay attention to your angle or hard shots won't land on the table.
Spin on serves is also excellent - there aren't many downsides, but if you want more performance than this, Tenergy is still the way to go.As for durability, it really depends on how each person uses it, so I don't think you need to worry about it too much.
For this price, I think this level of performance is more than enough.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Honestly it's weak on the forehand. But on the backhand, the short game, drives, and pushes were all easy. Might pair well with a composite blade??

Overall the balance is really good
There's this sense that if you make contact, it goes in
Rather than catching the ball on the sheet to spin it, you get more spin by really sinking the ball in when you hit
I felt like a hitting style that really drives the ball in, like Koki Niwa's, suits this rubber betterAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Racket recommended use APOLONIA ZLC

My first impression hitting with it was that it flies well. The short game and blocking are easy. That said, serves don't seem to spin all that much. Also, drives spin well if you commit fully to putting spin on them, but if you're halfhearted about it, it tends to turn into a flat hit instead.

Since Rozena came out, I've already bought 4 sheets (3 max thickness, 1 thick).
I play Japanese penhold, and normally use max thickness. I tried thick once, but for single-sided penhold players, max thickness really is better.
Rozena itself is a soft, easy-to-handle rubber. It's geared toward beginner to intermediate players. It gets decent speed and spin too. It feels like an upgraded version of Roundell.
That said, the power is still less than Tenergy, so I can't recommend it to people who prefer Tenergy. Also, if you're switching from Roundell to Rozena, I think you'll overshoot a lot at first (that's what happened to me).
If you've been using a rubber that doesn't bounce much, keep in mind that Rozena does bounce, so you'll need to adjust well to avoid overshooting.
As for downsides, Rozena doesn't last long. Mine didn't even make it 3 months... (practicing 2-3 times a week). Also, in the short game the ball tends to float up more easily.
Overall, I feel like I want to keep using Rozena. The stability and the powerful shots it lets you hit are appealing, and above all, it's easy to handle!
Luckily, since I play single-sided penhold, it's easier on my wallet than it would be for shakehand players...

Takekazu (Experience: ２〜３ years) Blocking is strong

The first thing I thought when I tried this rubber was, the blocking is strong!
Even against a heavily spun drive, I could return a powerful block just by making contact most of the time.
That said, I think a lot of this is because I'm not that skilled myself, but I felt like it takes a bit of a knack to put spin on the ball.
I have it on my backhand, and it took a little time to get used to backhand serves with it.
Well, advanced players probably won't mind, and it seems to be popular at table tennis shops too, so why not give it a try?All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
