I put the 2.0 thickness on the backhand of a Hina Hayata H2 and hit with it.
It's listed as 48 degrees, but when I actually hit with it, the feel was only slightly harder than medium hardness, and it felt soft. Even though it feels soft, light hits don't produce much speed, and even hard hits don't come out that fast, so honestly, trying to blow the ball past someone in one shot is tough.
That said, the sheet has a solid grip on the ball, so despite the softness it still puts on good spin, which makes it easy to build into rallies. Also, since it's lightweight, the maneuverability is great, so backhand counters and blocks are very easy — I really like that about it.
Because the sheet grips well and sends the ball upward, hitting against backspin was very easy, but against topspin I sometimes had to aim a bit higher or the ball would go long.
Overall, I'd recommend this to rally-style players who want balance while still caring about the feel of the ball.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I bought the MAX thickness. The listed hardness is 48 degrees, a medium hardness, but the sheet has a soft, tacky feel that makes it feel more like 45 degrees. Blocks and counters sit on the blade nicely, so I'd recommend it to rally-style players. For its price, serves and drives don't generate a ton of spin, but the ball has decent weight to it. Loop drives get plenty of spin, and it's easy to lift backspin balls too. Meeting-style strokes also had good grip on the ball and were easy to hit. Overall I think it's easy to use even for players who aren't all that skilled yet, and it's a good rubber.

I used the red 2.0, mainly on my backhand.
This feels like a rubber for intermediate-to-advanced players who don't want to compromise on either drive consistency or power (advanced players might find it a bit lacking?).
Spin is easy to put on and it produces a nice, solid arc, so you can trust the rubber to bring the ball down.
That said, obviously if you just tap the ball there's zero consistency to speak of, so this rubber is for players who can sink the ball into it to some degree.To sum up, if you move properly on every single ball and trust the rubber when you swing, it takes care of the control and gets the ball in. You'll need more footwork and rally stamina than with other rubbers, but I think you can win easily up through the 2nd or 3rd round level.
For intermediate players who are using a high-end rubber but thinking "I want more consistency... but I don't want to lose power!" — I'd highly recommend this one!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

All Back test-hitting uncle Surprisingly easy to use for 48 degrees

This has just about the impact I can handle with the Fastarc G-1.
Thickness is MAX. Paired it with a thick VO>102 on the backhand, and test-hit it on a new-lot Viscaria.I could tell from the moment I glued it on, but my first impression was overwhelming softness!
With light hits to topspin drives, the ball just flies upward, so for close-to-the-table smashes you have to hit with a bit of a closed angle or it'll go long.
The sheet's grip on the ball is quite strong, and maybe because of the 48-degree hardness, the ball doesn't drop even when you catch it hard.
Especially when you swing all the way through, the ball really flies, so you get plenty of power even without a full swing.Overall, I think this is easy to use for anyone who finds the G-1 or R48 a bit tricky to handle!
The main rival would be Tenergy 05, but compared to that this feels more like a "manual" rubber.
As for durability, with my impact Tenergy lasts about 2 months and the MK lasts about 4, so the MK is way better value for money.Even though it's a 48-degree rubber, the feel is very soft, so pairing it with a slightly harder blade helps the ball fly well.
Speed and spin are more than enough, and the control was outstanding!
I'm planning to make this my main forehand rubber going forward!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I'm using this on my backhand, and it's really good.
The listed sponge hardness is 48 degrees, but the sheet itself is actually very soft, which makes it really easy to use. When you hit it, the ball flies noticeably upward, so it's very easy to lift backspin balls with. Since I don't have much power and always struggled with my backhand drive, I'm really glad I found this rubber. That said, I did feel like my shots landed a bit shallow. Whether you see that as a plus or a minus probably depends on the person. In my case, though, it lets me swing through my chiquitas with confidence, so it doesn't bother me much.
I think this rubber is a good recommendation for students and women. If you ever visit a shop that lets you test rubbers, or a friend happens to have it, I'd say give it a try.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

The buzz around this was so good beforehand that it's really disappointing it didn't work for me.
I normally use a softer rubber on my forehand,
but even so, this one was too soft for me.
From how it felt to hit, it's like an upgraded version of the Vega Elite.
Unless you really sink the ball in, it doesn't grip for spin and doesn't seem to fly forward either.
It might be worth trying if you like a softer rubber on the backhand, though.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
