NO.1 table tennis review site

I prefer harder rubbers, so I switched over from K3.
My first impression on hitting with it was that Pro was easier to play with than K3. I feel it's the type of rubber that has broad appeal.
That said, I felt while playing that opinions might be split for the type of player who likes to smash away from the third ball. Even so, I generally like this rubber, so I'm using it on both sides.
Also, I have a habit of tensing up when I hit, but I was able to play with a good amount of confidence, and I even ended up winning a tournament with it.
The techniques that are easy to do are serves and backhand drives
If I had to name something that's harder, I'd say it would be control

Switched over from 09C.
I can now sink the ball into the sponge more than before.
Both brushing the ball and hitting flat feel easier, I'd say. Honestly, 09C grips more on drives, but overall I'd go with this rubber.

Compared to Dig 09c, it feels softer overall. Kind of like a tacky version of the MX-P.
Even when you brush the ball in the short game, it stays on the table properly.

I switched from Omega VII China Shadow to this one.
My overall impression is that it's an all-around solid, honor-roll type of rubber with no real weaknesses.
The sponge hardness is 55 degrees, which is on the firm side, but when I actually hit with it, it didn't feel that hard and I'd put it in the easy-to-handle category.
That said, because it's 55 degrees, the weight of the rubber might make it a bit harder to handle in that regard.
The ball flies up nicely, the speed is there, and the control is fine too - there's nothing bad about this rubber, but every technique seems to land around a 70-80 score, so the average is high, but I never felt it hit 100 in anything.
It's easy to recommend to just about anyone, but I felt that for the type of player who wants to put everything into one decisive kill shot, it might not be for everyone.

First time using this, in a doubles practice match.
On backhand drives against backspin on the receive, I was able to hit powerful shots. I could also place the ball to different courses, which let me control the match. Backhand serves are easy to produce too.
I went three matches without a single backhand serve fault.
Meeting shots are also easy to hit.
My blade is a softer 7-ply, so the overall balance feels good.
I think the hardness of the rubber matches well with the softness of the blade.
By the way, for the forehand this time I tried STIGA's DNA XH.

This rubber feels like steel.
The spin and grip on the ball were even stronger than the first time I used Hybrid K3.
The speed is top-notch too - the performance is on another level.
It has spin and power like a combination of Dignics and Bluestorm.
