Front-end haste (Experience: ４〜５ years) Godspeed rubber!

I bought this on a friend's recommendation.
First of all, this rubber has a sponge and sheet as hard as a tacky rubber, but with tension added, so it bounces like crazy. As a benchmark, it bounces about the same as Bryce Hi-Speed, maybe even more. Naturally it's hard to generate spin, and combined with the rubber's hardness, you can't graze the ball or let it sink in either. Still, I think it's perfect for players who use its otherworldly speed to attack quickly, or for players who attack from away from the table.
Lastly, if you're going to spend money on this rubber, I'd honestly recommend Dignics or the national-team Hurricane instead.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

(Experience: ６〜１０ years) The ultimate speed rubber, a shame about the short lifespan

I test-hit the MAX version. After cutting, it's supposedly about 52g.
It doesn't feel as hard as the sponge hardness rating suggests - the topsheet is actually on the softer side.
How easily the ball sinks in and the topsheet's insensitivity to spin both carry over from the previous Dignics, which left a very good impression.The V47.5 had issues with distance and speed, but this rubber overcomes those.
Speed in particular is at a level I'd call the best I've ever experienced - you can send the ball roaring deep into the opponent's court.
The spin is more than satisfactory too, letting you easily hit loops good enough to induce block errors.The downsides are the extremely quick ball release and a fairly short lifespan.
The blade I paired it with this time was an 84g Revoldia CNF, which should have really good ball-holding characteristics, but this rubber's launch outpaces even that.
Also, regarding lifespan, this might just be individual variation, but the topsheet went bad after a month.
It's definitely a good rubber, but the fact that supply is limited and it's often out of stock is a downside.I've written a lot, but in conclusion, I think this is a rubber that fits the high-end category in a different way from Dignics 05.

If you're talking about the strongest rubber, this is it! You can even pull off Kokusen (Black Flash) with it, nothing bad to say about it at all! (Kokusen is really just a backhand serve thing) Well, you should definitely buy this at least once a year.

I put this on my backhand.
I thought it might fly way off, but blocks and such actually land on the table just fine. But backhand serves tend to go long somehow.
Anyway, I guess it'll take some time to get used toAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I put this on my backhand. Compared to X50, I felt like this rubber flies quite a bit more. But it still grips well for spin, so it's super easy to use.

I put this on my backhand.
Honestly, it flies quite a bit. But if you don't swing through it firmly, the ball drops, so it's not really suited to rally-style players.
I think it's a perfect match for fast-attacking players.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

GAIA (Experience: ６〜１０ years) The rubber I'd wanted for years since glue got banned
-
2023/07/03
Since I couldn't get hold of Gergely 21, I bought a Galeria T5000 to use instead.
After glue was banned, I always assumed that with a hinoki blade and T5000, the blade was too strong and the rubber would lose out, making it a bad match for the blade — but with this rubber, the rubber doesn't lose to the blade, and it turned out to be a perfect match.
That said, unless you hit it with the kind of real impact players used to put out in the old days, rather than how people play now, you won't get a good ball.
Since it's not glued the way old speed-glued rubbers were, the spin is understandably a bit lacking, but it still gives good speed and at least enough spin to get the ball in.
It also doesn't drop the ball even when you hit close to the table, so forehand flicks are easy too.
I often see people say it's hard to loop with, but I think if you're going to loop with this rubber, you're better off putting in real impact and going for a power loop instead — you'll get a better ball. In fact, I think there are rarely situations where you actually need to loop-drive with this particular rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
