Roxas (Experience: ６〜１０ years) The best rubber ever Verified Purchase

Used on the backhand side of the Quartet AFC Chinese style racket. It has a great feel, good bounce, good spin, and most importantly, makes the Chiquita shot easy. Being able to hit a Chiquita that completely overrides the opponent's short serves has eliminated my anxiety about receiving.
I also felt it was an excellent match for the Quartet AFC.
I feel that the Zaia works well with thin carbon rackets. Because the rubber itself has a thick sponge and is bouncy, combining it with a thin racket that reduces bounce makes it the perfect partner! And it has a long lifespan!
For players who are serious about achieving results, I highly recommend the Zaia 03!

Black, 2.7mm, 48g, 43.9°
D09C is 50g, 50.8°
D05 is 47g, 50.0°
- You can hold the ball with less force than D05 and still get lift!
- The arc and spin amount are insane, like a tacky rubber!
- This rubber is clearly built more for driving than for meeting the ball flat!
Coming from D05, there's no real difficulty switching over.
The published hardness is 44°, so I expected it to feel hard, but when I actually measured it with a hardness gauge, I was stunned.
It's more than 5° softer than D!
That's why you can hold the ball even with a slower swing speed than D — that's what I realized!
Used normally, I didn't feel much difference, and if anything, since it holds the ball, it wasn't hard to use at all!
I confirmed with curtain drills that it puts a crazy amount of spin on the ball.
I was surprised at how much more spin, and how easily it goes on, compared to D05 and D09C!
That said, flat hitting is quite difficult, and it flies long even from mid-distance.
You get a kind of bounce that feels like it's been artificially boosted afterward.
Honestly, a hard-hit speed drive is uncontrollable, lol (sweat)!
I think it's the No. 1 rubber for ease of putting on spin since they switched to the antibacterial plastic.

User: No national experience, intermediate level (equivalent to winning a local tournament)
Uses 2.7mm
I tried using it on my backhand, but I couldn't get the hang of it at all. The sponge is hot, so I don't have a good feel for it and it feels like the ball is flying off. I couldn't control it at all.
On the other hand, when I used it on my forehand, it was revolutionary. My current practice partner is surprised by the high speed and spin, and I can now produce incredible balls, like topspin drives in one direction that are no-touch. This rubber is recommended for those who hit the ball firmly.
The feeling is great, like Tenergy 05, which doesn't compress even when you hit it firmly.
Hitting topspin and backspin is quite easy.
Stopspin and pushes feel like the ball is flying off, but it actually settles down surprisingly well. It requires some getting used to and practice.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

If you can swing it well, you can hit a good ball, but the question is how many times in a match you can actually swing it well. Hardness and bounce make it tricky on the table, and I understand that it generates spin, but depending on the user, rubbers like Lagza 7 might generate more spin, so I think there are more rubbers that can win matches. Moreover, a certain level of high school players are winning without overreaching using Digneta or even Grazer 09C, so if you're not at the national level, you shouldn't use it, right?

I use a Japanese-style penhold single-ply 10mm blade. I'm an intermediate player. I used 09C for a long time. I wanted to try 2.5mm at least once - to cut to the conclusion, your stroke gets restricted, but if you find the right way to hit it, you get an incredible ball.
With 09C, loop drives, speed drives, and flat hits would each give "a decent ball" or "a ball matching my touch" depending on how I made contact, but with Zaia I feel like you always need to brush the ball to bring out its characteristics. Smashes go in, but they don't feel like they're hitting the sweet spot; I used to just hit counters flat, but now I can't get them stable unless I do a drive-counter that lets the ball bite into the rubber the way advanced players do.
The sweet spot has gotten narrower, but if you hit it, you get the most powerful ball imaginable.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Rin (Experience: ４〜５ years) A rubber you can't use if you're timid

If you get scared, you can't use this rubber - you'll be plagued by net misses and huge overshoots.
On the flip side, if you can swing through without fear, the ball will go in no matter how you hit it - even if your technique isn't quite there, as long as you've got your basic strokes down, it'll land. Chop blocks were also no problem.
People who prefer stability might not be suited to this; it's best handled by someone who can swing all the way through no matter their mental state.
If you're about to try this, just swing all the way through without fear from the start - that's actually more stable. Think of Kio Matsushima's backhand.
As long as you swing through it goes in, so the only thing to think about is placement! How quickly you recover after the follow-through becomes the single most important skill for using this rubber!
If you're used to swinging fully through with fast German rubbers or tacky rubbers, I think you'll adjust quickly, but if you've been a longtime user of Butterfly products like Tenergy or Dignics, I think it'll take quite a while to get used to.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I put this on my Innerforce ZLF, so my impressions might differ from other reviews.
In my playing days I used Dignics 05 and Dignics 09c.
For the last two years I've had Hurricane on both sides just for fun.
I've only used this four times so far.Coming from Hurricane, it felt quite soft.
So in topspin rallies I could get good shots through without even using my hips.
So I drive the ball with my hips and put all my focus into control with my arm, but my opponents still look surprised, so I think the ball must be flying pretty fast.
If I grip tightly, the ball clears the table before it can dip, so I keep my grip loose (prioritizing holding the ball) and try to absorb the impact.
When driving against backspin, hitting with strong impact sometimes made the ball drop in a slippery way, so I stopped doing that.
If I sink the ball into the sponge, it flies way off on loop drives, so imagining hitting with just the topsheet made things stable.
Over the table, on the first day, sinking the ball all the way into the sponge sent it flying out - I thought receiving would be impossible - but once I switched to imagining hitting with just the sheet, it flew just like Hurricane, which surprised me.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
