Using this at max thickness on the backhand of a Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce ALC.
They call it a beginner's rubber, but I think it's good enough to satisfy even intermediate players.
It's an all-around rubber that's easy to use for both backhand drives and blocks.
The sponge hardness is rated 44 degrees, but personally it felt softer than I expected.
It also lasts a long time and is great value for money, so I highly recommend it!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Not many people seem to use this rubber, but I think its performance is on the higher end for its price range.
The first thing I noticed was the strength of the sheet — it grips the ball about as well as rubbers in the 5000–6000 yen list-price class.
It's on the softer side, but the spin is good too, and even when you catch the ball thinly it doesn't slip despite its hardness, which is reassuring. When I drop my contact point to keep the rally going, I often miss because the shot doesn't arc enough, but with this rubber the ball doesn't fly too far and the grip is strong, so my misses dropped a lot.
I think this rubber is a great match for beginner-to-intermediate players whose game is mostly about adding spin to keep rallies going.
If your impact is on the lighter side, it might work fine on the forehand too.
The one downside is that, being a Mizuno rubber, production isn't very consistent, so it's hard to find in shops...All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Using this at max thickness on the reverse side of a Liberta Glorious Japanese-style blade.
Aside from Butterfly, Japanese-made spin-oriented tension rubbers tend to get overshadowed by German ones these days, but the Q1 is a bit different.
First of all, among rubbers in the 3000-yen street-price range, its grip on the ball is outstanding — it doesn't drop at all against backspin or no-spin balls.
Honestly, on this point I'd rank it among the top rubbers even in the 4000-yen range.
The feel on contact isn't as soft as it looks — it's not a rubber that goes in automatically just by swinging; you actually need to swing it properly.
On light hits, spin and speed aren't especially noticeable, but if you swing all the way through, it performs at the top of its class.
Also, even though the sheet is quite strong, it's forgiving too — blocks go in just by putting the racket in the way.
Meeting the ball is relatively easy too, since it isn't overly affected by floating backspin balls.
Falling back to mid-distance, the shots get a bit shallow, which is a slight concern, but the stability is outstanding, so all-around play is possible.
In any case, as long as you swing through properly, backspin and no-spin balls come up surprisingly easily, which made it a perfect fit for a penhold reverse side, where the blade angle tends to close up.
I'd strongly recommend it not just for intermediate players, but also for the backhand of working adults whose practice time has dropped and who tend to make more mistakes.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Using this on my backhand — it's soft and easy to use. Speed is slow. I used to use the V15, but this one is easier to use.

Very easy to use and stable. It says it's recommended for beginner-to-intermediate players, but I think anyone up to prefectural-tournament level can use it. The sheet is strong, grips the ball well, and puts on plenty of spin. Blocking and short-game technique are also very easy to do with it. The hardness is just a bit firmer than Vega Europe. It's also great value for money, so if you're not sure which rubber to pick, give this one a try.

I used to only rely on my backhand and kept losing, but ever since I switched my forehand rubber to this one, I suddenly started winning
That said, whether or not you can get spin on it varies from person to person, so if it doesn't work out for you, you'll just have to fight with speed alone
Good luckAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
