      Front-end haste (Experience: 4〜5 years) A stable, all-purpose rubber!

      Reviews by user

      People tend to assume this is for beginners, but it actually works surprisingly well for intermediate players too. The sponge is soft, but the sheet is a bit hard, so overall it ends up at just the right firmness. Speed-wise it has that slow-ball quality typical of control-oriented rubbers, but if you sink the ball in, you can get quite a lot of spin. I think it's perfect for a player who just wants to keep their backhand stable.
      As a side note, pairing it with a Franziska Innerforce adds back the speed and gives you a really nice shot!

      Short pips for close-to-the-table quick attack on the forehand. Using the thick version on the backhand side with Gouriki.

      I'll keep quiet about certain "adult reasons," but I'm pretty sure there's a light tension treatment on this one.
      It bounces really nicely on soft touches. It probably tops out on full-power hits, but honestly, in an actual match you almost never get the chance to swing all-out with perfect position anyway. What matters, like they say about a car, is having "plenty of torque in the practical range."
      In that sense, this rubber is a perfect 10. It seems to perform best right around the power level you actually use most in a match.

      And while it doesn't generate all that much spin on its own, what's great is that it's "hard to be affected by your opponent's spin."
      It's similar to Nittaku's own Gouriki Kaisoku.
      If you feel Gouriki Kaisoku bounces too much, this one might be worth trying instead.

      Oyako Donman XX (Experience: Less than a year) Personally it's "trash-tier" but the control is unbeatable!

      Reviews by user

      I've only been playing table tennis for five months, but my win rate is more stable with the Rozena that my friend uses.
      Once you've been playing for about four months and can start beating your senior club members, you should probably switch rubbers.
      The control on this one is unbeatable!

      Pimpon (Experience: Less than a year) Very easy to use, very good

      Reviews by user

      It's really easy to use. On top of getting decent speed, it also generates quite a lot of spin. It's easy to control too, so I'd say it's an ideal rubber as a beginner rubber. Recommended!

      Gudaguda (Experience: Less than a year) Honestly, not for beginners…

      Reviews by user

      Basically this rubber is meant for beginners, but I'd call it a beginner rubber I wouldn't recommend to beginners... If I had to say something good about it, blocking is easy to control and you can easily return powerful shots. Other than that, though, that's about all the good I can say - rubbers like Sriver EL, Original Extra, or Inception are all way better. My blade was a Sanalion S, but I think it'd probably work better on something lighter. Also, even beginners should use the thick version - I think you'll pick up more that way. I personally didn't improve much using this rubber, so I can't recommend it.

      doguo (Experience: Less than a year) Win with flat hits

      Reviews by user

      The F-Road has a hard sheet and a soft sponge.
      Because of that, countering is easy, and it's hard to get overpowered by your opponent's shots.
      For serves and drives, if you can't put a strong impact into the shot, you either won't get much spin,
      or the ball won't travel well. I'd recommend it to people who want to solidify their form or who want to play using their own power.

      Penn offenses (Experience: Less than a year) Recommended for beginners! Amazing feel!

      Reviews by user

      The feel on impact is insane.
      But since it's light, I'd recommend it to beginners.
      Backhand serves rip with tons of spin.
      It's not suited for drives.
      Chopping might be the way to go with this one.
