  Penmate (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Surprisingly great grip

  

  I used this on the forehand side of my Mignon R (the backhand is Spin Pips Blue).
  Since it's billed as a meet-hit-oriented rubber, I wasn't expecting much spin, but it grips more than I expected.
  Backspin serves are easy to put cut on, to the point where even pushes make the ball drop dead.
  Topspin drives sink into the sponge and grip well, so there's no slipping against backspin either.
  As for the main event, meet-hitting, this surprisingly gets affected by incoming spin more than I expected — I noticed occasional misses when hitting floating backspin balls or loops. It doesn't seem all that different from other rubbers in that regard.
  That said, for counter-smashes it's surprisingly easy to hit, and you can easily reproduce that Mima Ito-style punch smash.
  Against both drives and smashes, it feels very reliable — if you make contact, it goes in.
  Counter-drives are also easy to land.
  For receive, since the grip on the ball is good, touches where you brush over the top are easy, but touches where you're matching the angle were affected quite a bit.
  For players who also mix in meet-hits, it works well enough on the forehand, and on the backhand I'd recommend it to anyone below the advanced level.
  A good rubber, more than worth the price.

  ミグノンRの表面に使用（裏面はスピンピップスブルー）
  ミート重視のラバーということで回転は期待してなかったのですが予想以上にかかります。
  サーブは下回転が切りやすくツッツキでもぼとんと落としてくれるほど。
  ドライブはしっかり食い込んでグリップしてくれるので対下回転でスリップすることもないです。
  本命のミートの方ですがこちらは案外回転の影響を受ける印象で浮いてきた下回転やループを打つとミスがちょこちょこ目立ちました。他のラバーと大差はないように思います。
  ただし、カウンタースマッシュに関してはびっくりするほど打ちやすく簡単にみまぱんちが再現できます。
  対ドライブも対スマッシュも当たれば入るといった感じで非常に頼もしいですね。
  カウンタードライブも入りやすいです。
  レシーブは引っかかりが良いため上書きするタッチはやりやすいですが角度を合わせるタッチだと結構影響を受けました。
  ミートも併用する選手ならフォアでも十分使えますし、バックなら上級以外の選手ならオススメできます。
  値段以上のいいラバーでした。

  I used the thick version. It was advertised as being specialized for smashing, but I didn't really get that impression — it felt like there was a slight delay, one beat behind. I wonder if the response would have been better with the medium thickness, but topspin drives come out fine too, and I was surprised at how low the trajectory stays during rallies, almost skimming the net. Control is good too, and it suited me well since I use a Nittaku Rootis Revo J.

  厚みは「厚」を使用しました。スマッシュに特化したとの謳い文句でしたが、特にそんな感じではなくて、ワンテンポ遅れるような感じでした。「中」を使っていれば、レスポンスは良かったのかなと思いましたが、ドライブも普通に打てますし、ラリー中の弾道がネットすれすれぐらいに低いのは驚きました。コントロールも良くて、ニッタクのルーティスレボJを使っている僕には合ってました。

  I think this is a rubber with quite distinctive characteristics.

  This rubber falls into the high-elasticity category rather than the high-tension category,
  so if you swing normally, it barely flies upward at all. But if you brush the ball,
  the sheet grips it more than you'd expect.
  And because the response (how quickly it rebounds after contact) is very fast,
  meet-hits and smashes are easy to pull off. But since the sheet grips as I mentioned,
  fast, low pushes are also possible.

  Of course, there are downsides too. It doesn't travel far at all, and
  since the rubber itself has weak bounce, it's hard to generate power.

  To sum up:

  ■ Pros
  - Meet-hits and smashes are very easy
  - Grips the ball better than it looks, so fast, low pushes are possible
  - Since the rubber itself doesn't bounce much, it's easy to stop with the same motion
  - Grips the ball well, but the rubber itself isn't very sensitive to incoming spin, so you can just block and receive easily

  ■ Cons
  - Doesn't travel far
  - Lacks power
  - Weak against long serves (especially backspin ones)
  - If you hit it too thick, the ball drops short

  It's not well suited to players who attack with both wings, but for players who play it safe on the backhand and finish with the forehand,
  I'd recommend giving it a try once!

  かなり特徴があるラバーかと思います。

  ラバーのカテゴリーがハイテンション系ではなく、高弾性に属するラバー
  なので普通にスイングしても上方向には全く飛びません。ただ擦ると
  思った以上にシートが引っ掛かります。
  そしてレスポンス（ボールが当たってからの飛ぶ反応）が非常に速いため
  ミートやスマッシュはやりやすいです。ですが先ほどシートが引っ掛かるので
  速くて低いツッツキも可能です。

  もちろんデメリットもあります。飛距離が全くでない、ラバーそのものが
  弾みが弱いため威力が出にくい。

  以上をまとめると

  ■メリット
  ・ミート、スマッシュが非常にしやすい
  ・見た目以上に引っ掛かりがいいので低くて速いツッツキが可能
  ・ラバーそのものが弾まないため、同じモーションでストップしやすい
  ・引っ掛かりはいいがラバーそのものは回転に鈍感なので当てるだけでレシーブしやすい

  ■デメリット
  ・飛距離がでない
  ・威力が出ない
  ・ロングサーブ系に弱い（特に下系）
  ・厚く当てすぎると落ちてしまう

  両ハンドで攻める選手には不向きですがバックをミスなくフォアで仕留める選手には
  一度おすすめです！

  Sakuma-san, who made this, designed it in medium thickness with the idea that you'd hit hard, crisp smashes with it.
  Smashes really are fast. It's a rubber made for the Goriki blade, so the match with Goriki is outstanding.

  As for whether it lacks spin — actually no, it's a semi-tacky sheet, so it grips quite a lot.
  The classic pattern of a smash off an intense spin serve like an Oji-style serve works great with this,
  and even a simple topspin drive close to the table comes out with plenty of speed and carries through well.
  I feel like the performance is better than Vega or Raigan.

  Of course, the match with Goriki is outstanding.
  I'd love for them to release a long pips version made for Goriki too.

  作ったサクマさんは中厚で、ビシバシスマッシュを打ってほしいということです。
  確かにスマッシュは早いです。剛力用のラバーなので剛力との相性は抜群

  ただ、回転がかからないかといえば、微粘着シートなのでかなりかかる方。
  王子サーブのような強烈な回転サーブからの、スマッシュの王道パターンもいいし、
  単に前陣でのドライブでもかなりスピードが速く伸びてくれる。
  ベガやライガンよりかは性能が良いように思う。

  もちろん剛力との相性は抜群。
  剛力用の粒高も出してほしいと思う。

  Perplexity (Experience: More than ２０ years) Selling it as "smash-only" was a waste

  

  I tried it out half excited, half nervous about what kind of rubber it would be (lol).

  It's a "solidly good, orthodox rubber."

  For a speed-oriented tension rubber, it's a bit on the harder side. Overall, I'd guess around 43 on the German hardness scale?

  For short-game techniques like pushes and serves, it doesn't have that tendency speed-oriented tension rubbers often have of flying off on its own, so it feels reassuring.
  You can really bite into the ball and cut it.

  The rubber sheet gives a solid sense of grip on the ball, and drives come out with a nice, low arcing trajectory.
  It's not the kind of intense spin you get from Tenergy, but this time my practice partner kept overshooting my loops by a lot, so maybe it grips more than it looks like it does.

  
  With a moderate hardness, moderate grip on the ball, and a moderate rebound, smashes really are easy to hit.
  Meet-hitting against pushes also goes in easily.

  It's easy to hit meet shots with, has decent spin performance, and on top of that, it's cheap.

  Whether as a rubber for juniors to use before moving on to a V>15 or G-1, or as a backhand rubber for advanced players, it's a well-balanced, quite excellent rubber.

  どんなラバーなのか、楽しみ半分、怖さ半分(笑)で、使ってみました。

  「オーソドックスに良いラバー」ですね。

  スピード系テンションでは、少し硬め。全体でドイツ硬度で43前後、かな？

  ツッツキやサービスなどの台上技術では、スピード系テンションにありがちな勝手に飛び出す感覚がないので、安心感があります。
  しっかりと切っていけますね。

  ラバーシートでしっかりとグリップしてくれる感じがあり、ドライブでは低い弧線をしっかりと描いてくれます。
  テナジーのような強烈な回転ではありませんが、今回、ループに対して、練習相手がかなりオーバーミスしてくれたので、見た目以上にかかっているのかもしれません。

  
  適度な硬さ、適度な食い込み、適度な飛び出しで、確かにスマッシュはやりやすいです。
  ツッツキに対するミート打ちも、簡単に入ります。

  ミートがやりやすく、スピン性能もそこそこあり、しかも価格が安い。

  ジュニアが、V>15やG-1の前に貼るラバーとしても、あるいは上級者のバック向けラバーとしても、高バランスでまとまった、かなり優秀なラバーです。
