I tried both the plain version (Normal Monkey) and the Spin version, using them for about six months inside a Harimoto blade. I actually entered one tournament with it.
With the plain version, my impression was that you need good swing speed and power to loop against backspin. Other than that, forehand and backhand short-game shots and counters were never a problem! The Spin version is extremely easy to control, and I never felt like my shots were losing out in power. Even against backspin, it naturally lifts the ball up without needing a lot of swing speed or power, so it's really effortless! That makes things like the chiquita really easy to pull off. With the Spin version, counters in particular are easy - you get good distance whether you're up close or backed off the table, so counters come easily!
I'm going to stick with the Spin version on both sides going forward, and I want to do well again this year at nationals and the Hokushinetsu tournament~! Rallys is the bestAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I heard it was similar to Tenergy 05, so I gave it a try.
Conclusion: the feel is like Tenergy 05 and Rozena averaged together.
It doesn't die out as fast as Tenergy does.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

The sheet is weaker than Tenergy, but because of that it's less affected by the opponent's spin, making blocks, counters, and receives easier. On top of that, if you loop it yourself it grips the ball firmly, so you get good spin and a nice arc too — a great rubber. It bounces a bit more than average among medium-hardness rubbers, but I think this level is fine at least for the forehand up to intermediate level. Thanks to it, I was able to win a local tournament.
Here's a quick comparison with rubbers from other brands.
vs Tenergy 05FX
The "Red Monkey" sheet is weaker, but its bounce and speed drives are easier to unleash, and receiving might be too.
It's easy to use without that "auto" feel you get from the Tenergy-type sheets.
vs Dignics 09c
The spin and speed on speed drives are lower, but receiving with a drive was overwhelmingly easier with the Red Monkey. For a single fixed course, 09c was clearly superior in every way — spin, speed, arc depth — but it was hard to use while moving, so in that respect the Red Monkey is easier to use.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

This is a repost. Some time has passed since my last post and I guess I've gotten a bit better myself, so let me write about the good points. Speed drives are easy to hit. Combined with the good control, you can hit deep, nasty courses. Flat hits are easy too. I don't think you get much spin if you catch the ball thinly. If you sink it into the rubber and hit, it spins quite a lot. Occasionally clipping the edge is just something you have to live with. I do feel it's not quite worth the price. I'm planning to switch to Glayzer soon, but if I find that difficult, I think I'll end up coming back to this rubber.

Used on my forehand. I haven't used a ton of different rubbers so I can't say for sure, but I think it drives consistently. Easy to loop too. The hardness feels like a manageable level.
Serves spin well too. But sometimes the spin drops off, and if you don't consciously put spin on it, it doesn't spin much. (Might just be my own skill level though.)
I've been practicing about 4 hours a day, 5 days a week for the past 3 months, and it still produces plenty of spin and speed.
I felt this isn't a rubber where the spin happens automatically — you need to consciously put spin on the ball to bring out its full performance. But because of that, I think it's good for beginners looking to step up, and advanced players would be satisfied with it too. And with this level of performance for 3,980 yen, the value for money is way too good. It's fine to stretch your budget for an expensive rubber, but I think it's worth trying this one at least once.
Sorry for the long post.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

For how cheap it is, it's easy to drive with, and when you loop it puts insane spin on the ball. Serves also spin really well, and counters and blocks are surprisingly stable too, so I'm glad I bought it.

This is a review as a chopper.
I've been using Tenergy 05FX, but the ball sinks into the sponge too much, so I was looking for a rubber that's a bit weaker in the sheet but still selfishly grips the ball firmly when I want spin.
Since it had good reviews, I tried this product, and I finally found a versatile rubber that satisfies all my demands.Tenergy wins in terms of spin on chops, but how often do you actually use heavy-spin chops a lot? I think it's more important that your chops go in consistently, so I've decided to keep using this one.
It bounces a decent amount depending on the blade, so it might be tough unless you're a chopper who can comfortably keep forehand/backhand chops going for 50+ balls.
It's soft and easy to control, so this is a rubber that teaches you control not just for chopping but for long balls too.
You won't regret buying it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
