NO.1 table tennis review site

I like Calderano and I normally use slightly tacky rubbers, so I decided to try this.
The sponge is hard and the sheet is soft. It's heavy. Personally the feel reminds me of Hybrid K3, with even more of a sense of really gripping the ball. It doesn't bounce as much as K3. That said, you need to sink the ball right into the sponge to get a good shot. Without a solid impact, or if you just brush the sheet, the ball tends to come out flat and easy to punish. In other words, a strong impact is essential. For most people this will probably end up being a forehand-only option.
Highly recommended for players who like mid-distance topspin rallies, all-forehand power players, and choppers. Chopping is easy and bites well.
I think you get more out of this rubber's potential on a harder blade than on a softer one.
It might not be a great fit if you're switching over from a tension rubber.
If you normally use tacky or hard, slightly-tacky rubbers, it's worth trying.

It feels like a 55-degree sponge, but the topsheet feels a bit soft, and thanks to the tackiness I really felt this rubber's strengths in close-to-mid-distance rallies.

This assumes you have swing speed, but if you're not physically confident with lunging or pivoting around your backhand, your shots turn into sitters and get punished.

Ball control is outstanding, so even though the speed and spin are great, the ball lands on the table in a strangely reliable way.

I found this to be a rubber that's meant to amplify your strengths.
As for durability, I've only used it for a week so far, but the sheet hasn't died yet so it's fine.

For serves and receives, hitting the ball a bit rather than brushing it, with a vertical-swing serve, makes it easier to generate spin.

For serve and receive it felt like a slightly tacky rubber, while for drives it felt like a tension rubber.
I'm looking for a rubber where the serve behaves like tension but the drive has that quirky, tacky-style ball movement, so this wasn't quite what I wanted.

The list price is 10,000 yen, but I'm glad I bought it.

Used on the forehand. Tackiness is moderate.
Even on a light hit there's a loud metallic sound and the ball flies noticeably upward (I was surprised by an unexpected long ball right from the first shot). Drives come out heavy. I used to use Provincial Hurricane, and I could hit with the same swing without any weird feeling. Maybe thanks to the tension effect, it's more stable than Hurricane. Just like the maker's tagline says, it's high-end but still easy to use.
Against backspin, a light-touch loop produces spin on par with Hurricane, and when I swung all the way through, the ball still cleared the net, so I could hit high-quality drives fairly comfortably.
What impressed me most was the control. When I want to put a shot away in one strike, there's real satisfaction in hearing that sharp "crack" sound as the ball drives deep into the corner I aimed for. Even though it's a seriously high-performance rubber, it feels trustworthy in actual matches too.
The short game is also easy, tacky-style, just as you'd expect.
Personally, serving wasn't all that easy with this one. I'm not great at serving to begin with, so I imagine someone better at serves would get more out of it. It seems like something you could get used to.
I'm also looking forward to seeing how long the performance lasts. It's pricey, but I plan to keep repurchasing this for my forehand.

The spin has more tackiness/grip than Dignics 09C, and the power and extension are first-class.
It matches really well with carbon or fiber blades.
This really feels like a proper 55-degree rubber.
