You can generate strong spin with this. Chiquitas are very easy to do, so it's ideal for the backhand. On the other hand, on the forehand it doesn't have much distance, so it feels hard to use there. I think it suits the backhand of an outer blade.

This Kiryu 2 is easier to handle on the backhand than on the forehand, so I recommend it there.
It makes extended blocks, backhand drives, and chiquitas easy - especially the chiquita, it's so easy to do that you can neutralize the opponent's serve and turn it into a strong-spin receive!
Especially recommended for the reverse side of a penhold racket!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Normally I use V20 double extra on my forehand and Rakza Z on my backhand.
My first impression of Kiryu II was that the ball goes up a lot when I first hit it.
With my forehand drive technique, it's too soft and I lose power, so the ball didn't clear the net - so this review is mostly about the backhand.
I felt like it's best hit with a strong focus on spin.
I had no problems with flat hits either.
I'd say it has a decent amount of speed too.
For pushes and stops, part of it is my own skill, but I got the impression the ball floats up quite a bit.
Personally, blocking was difficult for me - if you just let the ball touch the rubber, it's soft and tacky enough that it doesn't reach the opponent's side of the table. That said, if you stick your paddle out in an emergency during a rally, it'll at least land on the opponent's side.Personally, I'd recommend using this with a carbon blade. Also, since it's soft and light for a tacky rubber, I think it should be fine for female players too.
I heard the original (non-numbered) Kiryu is being discontinued, so if you're using (or have used) Kiryu, it might be worth trying this one.

Light and cheap. It really feels like a student's best friend. It doesn't fly far, so I'd recommend an outer blade with it. When you put spin on it, you get some quirky, unpredictable balls, so I think it's good for people who use tension rubbers and feel like they only ever get clean, predictable shots.

It really feels like a modern-day backhand rubber - not too hard, has decent grip on the ball, and the ball sinks in nicely!
The fact that it's occasionally insensitive to incoming spin is also a plus!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Impressions from borrowing a student's equipment
Blade ⇒ Reinforce LT
Forehand ⇒ Kiryu 2, thick
Backhand ⇒ Ligan Spin, medium-thickMy first and biggest impression is that the ball just goes way up
And combined with how well it matches the blade, it flies deep and high, letting you produce balls that are hard for opponents to handle
Spin, speed, and weight are all decent, and the ball trajectory gets a little rough
It's not semi-tacky but full tacky, though there's no "auto" feel to it, so it might be better to hit it more like a tension rubber
It has a bit of a quirk to it, so I'd say it's better suited not so much for beginners, but for players around the early-intermediate to intermediate level - somewhere between the top of district tournaments and losing in the first round of prefectural tournaments (this is just a level I'm making up myself)All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Shiba Inu No problem switching over from tension rubber

Used on my backhand
Switched over from Vega Europe
It has a fair amount of tackiness, and among tacky-tension rubbers it's on the bouncier side
Drives draw a nice arc and land in consistently
If you hit weakly it doesn't fly much, but if you sink the ball in and hit hard you get quite a bit of speed
It also works fine if you hit it like a regular tension rubberAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
