Test hit for about 10 minutes.
I've bought Shoryu and Shoryu 2 before.My honest impression is that it's pretty much the same as a softer copy of Shoryu.
Compared to Shoryu, the hitting sound is higher pitched, the ball feels a bit lighter, and it feels like control has improved.I think this would be just right as a stepping-stone rubber when transitioning from tension to tacky rubbers.
Once it starts feeling insufficient, you can move on to Shoryu or Shoryu 2.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Racket recommended use Zhang Jike ALC

I used to use Q Quality before. This is my first tacky-type rubber, but even someone used to tension rubbers can use this just fine with a bit of effort to adjust their drive technique to the tacky style, as long as the basics are solid. Spin and speed are more than satisfactory.
That said, it bounces really high (seriously, more than you'd expect), so you need to hold back a bit on loop drives and topspin rallies. I still haven't gotten used to that, so I'm struggling with it (/‐\)
Also, definitely don't put this on your backhand. At least not with a middle schooler's level of impact, it's just not manageableAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use Swat 5

I'm a bit of a Yasaka believer, so I used this on the forehand side of my Arnide, an outer ALC-type blade
The listed hardness was 45-50, but it feels really soft to me
Because of that, topspin drives with moderate power really fly
Drives that emphasize spin with more of a grazing stroke rather than hitting hard work really well
Since it's technically tacky, loops do have decent spin, but the spin ceiling is lower than I expected
It's completely unsuited for counters or speed drives
If you don't swing all the way through on a counter it drops short, and even with a full swing there seems to be some loss so it doesn't have that much power
For pushes, the downsides of soft tension rubber outweigh the benefits of tacky rubber - it's sensitive to spin but tends to float, though skill can compensate to some degree
Using it on the backhand doesn't really require this softness combined with tackiness, but backhand drives really flew and were fun
When you back away from the table, shots get shallow and it gets tough
Even when you're not putting in full effort you can still hit decent quality balls, which is a nice touch, but its suitability for hard hitting is low - it's a completely different type of rubber from ShoryuAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Racket recommended use ALNADE

The arc is very stable, and even though this is my first tacky rubber, it's easy to handle.
It's cheap too, so it's the best value-for-money rubber - the sponge and the spin match up really well.
The sponge is soft too, it's a great rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
