It feels really stable.
A lot of recent tension rubbers lack that stability, so this is nice.
Above all, the speed is fast, which is great, and it's not like it doesn't spin either, so overall I thought it was good.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I used the thick version on my backhand.
It's a medium hardness but feels a bit on the soft side. The sheet and sponge work together well, so the ball sinks in easily and it's easy to put spin on. Drives, hits, blocks, and counters all come out consistent and powerful.
What impressed me the most was the speed, distance, and carry of topspin drives from mid-distance. It was wonderfully stable and felt great to swing. Racket compatibility probably plays a role too...
The short game isn't hard to do either.
At this price, this level of performance is worth trying!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Counters and blocks are really easy to do, and the speed left an impression on me.
It grips the ball while still releasing it quickly, so it's easy to handle.
That said, maybe because the sheet is soft, it bounces a bit too much on pushes and is a little too sensitive to spin, so it's not great for small touches.
It's really good for getting into rallies or for swinging away with block counters.
Like the person before said, it's close to the 64.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Well, it's a pretty average, run-of-the-mill rubber.
I didn't think it was that great.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Mantra Man (Experience: Less than a year) Honestly, I fell for the package design and bought it without thinking about performance.

My impression after hitting with it was that it felt pretty close to Tenergy 64. The feel is similar, but compared to the 64 it makes a higher-pitched sound off the rubber. When returning backspin, it felt like it lifted the ball just as much as the 64. When I hit topspin, I felt like it had the same amount of spin as the 64, maybe even more. Before this, I had Evolution MXP on, and this rubber felt like it grips more than that one did. I couldn't really judge the weight of my shots since I didn't have anyone to receive them, but I'm expecting it to have quite a bit of power.
Personally, the Mantra feels like it was made for me — like a rubber of destiny. I hope it goes on sale in Japan soon.
By the way, the racket I used with the Tenergy 64 for comparison was a Freitas ALC.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
