I wouldn't really recommend this for the forehand. If I were paying 5800 yen, I'd go with Dignics instead. On the forehand, your push and serve have good spin, but the topspin drive is just okay. It doesn't have that Hurricane-like ball, and it can't beat Tenergy either.
But put it on the backhand and it transforms. Once you get used to it, you can block any kind of topspin drive, and you can even choose your placement. The counter is also fantastic. You can even smash after blocking - instead of just returning the ball, it drops a little, which throws off the timing of players close to the table or at mid-distance. Also, if you hit near the edge of the rubber, you get a soft floating ball that drops just over the net, which can force mistakes or lead into rallies.
If you want backhand stability, counters, and blocking, go with DNA Pro M. If you want to trade backhand blows and finish with topspin drives, I'd recommend putting on Tenergy 80FX.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I put this on my backhand! I put it on to give myself more stable play overall. Even so, backhand smashes still have plenty of speed, and chiquitas land on the table easily.

I switched over from XIOM's Omega 7 Asia. Hardness-wise it's only about 5 degrees different from Omega, but actually hitting with it, it felt surprisingly soft.
Drives and blocks were more than good enough. For me, I really felt this rubber's strength during serves and meet hits. One thing I noticed was that the ball sometimes slips off when you catch it at an angle.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

While the equipment is straying (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Compared to H

Bought this to compare against PRO H. Mainly used on the backhand.
Feels softer than the listed hardness suggests. I also tried it on the forehand, but other than a higher arc compared to H, it wasn't great — the speed doesn't come through either. Meet hits left a good impression though.
On the other hand, its backhand performance is excellent. Blocks and meet hits are stable, and drives come out low and fast.
That said, it's not suited to a hitting style that catches the ball right on the surface of the sheet. If you try to hit it with a light flick, the ball won't rise. You need to sink it in. Speed stands out more than spin with this rubber.It somehow feels similar to GFT48 in use — easy to handle. GFT48 is better at catching the ball thinly, but aside from that, this one's performance is basically an upgrade across the board.
It's not as hard as H, so you can use it without being too nervous about it.This might apply to the whole DNA series (I haven't used the S), but it's not great at catching the ball right on the sheet. If you make sure to really work the sponge, it responds nicely.

Using this on my backhand.
Before this I used Super Ventus, and before that V15 Extra.
First point: it's listed as 47.5 hardness, but it felt more like 40-43 degrees to me.
Second point: topspin rallies.
It feels really nice and fast, and the ball lands with a decent amount of spin. However, when I backed off from the table, it dropped a few times. I think that's not an issue once you get used to it.
Third point: drives against backspin. Spin and speed are decent, and it arcs nicely and sinks down well.
I think this would suit the forehand of someone who's not confident dealing with backspin.

My impression is that this is an upgraded Super Ventus.
It's a bit similar to Target Pro — the topsheet is slightly soft, ball-holding is good, and it doesn't feel as hard as the listed sponge hardness suggests.
You can get it flying by putting spin on it, so I'd recommend it for players who like to fully commit to their drives; it might not suit players who rely a lot on meet hits.
At the same price point, I'd say go with Fastarc if you want speed, or DNA if you want spin.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

My impression is that this is basically an upgraded Fastarc G-1 fully optimized for plastic balls.
It feels softer than its listed hardness, so it's quite easy to handle. It carries over the performance of its predecessor, Mantra M, so meet hits and pushes are especially stable.
I feel it leans more toward a sinking-in style of hitting rather than brushing.
The max spin level is high too, on par with Tenergy 05. Same goes for speed.
Blocks are stable since it doesn't get thrown off too much by the opponent's spin. For me, the short game is especially stable. Pushes can also overwrite the opponent's spin easily, so you don't lose as many points there.
It does have a bit of its own quirks, so opinions might be divided. But its overall performance is high, so I'd especially recommend it to players who play a balanced game while relying a lot on smashes and pushes.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
