NO.1 table tennis review site

Put the 2.0 on a TSP SWAT, came out to 48.4g.
My impression was that it doesn't feel too hard and flies pretty well.
Against backspin it lifts the ball more than Vantas Extra, so I think the sheet must be strong.
Since it's made in Japan, the ball comes off clean.
Overall I got an impression of a well-rounded, neither-great-nor-bad rubber that's about right for its price.
That said, the Spin version gives more peace of mind, so I didn't feel a particular need to use this one instead.

This is a review of the regular Red Monkey and the Spin version.
Drives were easy on both forehand and backhand. But if you want stability on your backhand, I'd absolutely recommend the Spin version.
For the short game, stops, pushes, and flicks all felt easy on both. But chiquita was easier with the Spin version, and the control was better. With my own skill level, I couldn't get the ball to sink into the regular version — it kept catching on the net.
Counters were easy with both, but for someone like me who absorbs the ball and puts spin on it myself, it's definitely the Spin version.
For backspin, I used a stroke that touches and brushes the ball — both versions went in, but the Spin version is the one I could hit with confidence.
Conclusion
The all-around one that's easy to use and doesn't lack in power is the Spin version.
If you want to generate more power yourself and hit hard and fast close to the table, I'd recommend it.
I'm going to stick with my Harimoto Inner blade and Spin on both sides, and do my best to make sure I get into the best 32 at next year's nationals for sure.

Honestly, I'd rather recommend this to penhold players than shakehand players! This rubber has a great balance of everything a single-sided penhold looper needs. Being easy to generate topspin with, of course, but also the control that keeps it from flying off on its own, the light weight, and the sense of speed are all excellent. In particular, how easy it is to do short shots feels close to Tenergy 64.
If you're used to German rubbers, the way you generate spin is different, so this might not suit you. But if you're using Rozena or Mantra and feeling like you want something a bit harder, or you want more power, this is perfect for you!
For shakehand players who value stability, I really recommend it!
It's sold at Xebio Sports for a list price of 5,500 yen including tax.

I've attached this to the backhand side of both my andro Timber 7 Off/S and my Donic Relevant. Red Monkey is the first 50-degree tension rubber I've used.
My first impression is, above all, that it's hard. The sheet is also a bit hard, so the feel on contact is completely different from a 47.5-degree German rubber.
That said, you get a real sense of speed just from swinging, and a reassuring feeling that the ball won't fall short. Especially on hard hits, the initial speed is surprisingly fast. Because the ball releases quickly, it feels like you're less affected by your opponent's spin.
Even though the ball releases quickly, the sheet still grips plenty, so I have no complaints about the amount of spin you get by sinking the ball into the sponge on a drive. Maybe because it's hard and grippy, serves and pushes bite really well too.
Hitting against topspin is no problem, but I found backhand shots against backspin difficult. The trajectory tends to be relatively flat, so given my level of skill, I end up unconsciously choosing a loop drive for the sake of stability. On the other hand, in the short game I can hit drives and chiquitas comfortably.
Overall, flicking-type techniques like smashes and flicks are flawless; spin-oriented techniques probably come down to your own skill, strengths and weaknesses included. I'd also like to try the "Spin" version with the softer sponge.
