Used on the forehand of a Chinese-style blade.
I've used Shoryu since it came out, and I was hoping this one would be lighter and a bit softer, but honestly it was a letdown.
It's easier than Shoryu for a light topspin drive, but overall it lacks power.
Maybe because of the surface sheet, a flat hit barely bounces at all, and hitting a hard drive gives you a weirdly straight trajectory. Personally I wish they'd kept Shoryu's sheet and just lowered the hardness.
That said, it has more distance than Shoryu, and countering and blocking were easy, so it might be worth it on the backhand.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Used on the forehand of a carbon blade
For its hardness it feels soft when you hit it, no complaints at all for topspin drive techniques - the spin performance is way above the rest, on par with Tenergy
Spin, bounce, and control are all extremely high level
If you're not sure what to get, this rubber is a solid choice
That said, for flat hitting speed it loses out to Fastarc G-1, Tenergy 64, and Omega Pro
So I'd recommend it for people who exclusively play a drive-heavy gameOverall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Using the Chinese-penhold 75g version.
It keeps the weight down while still having a decent amount of bounce, and the special material gives it a nice wide sweet spot. As a Chinese-penhold blade the head is on the smaller side, and the thin plies give it flex, though the narrow handle means preference will vary — you can adjust it with grip tape.
As an "international table tennis" style it seems to be aimed at Timo Boll's ALC, but compared to that it doesn't bounce as much, has more flex, and it's actually easier to put spin on your drives with this one. I'd recommend it to anyone stepping up from a 5-ply, or anyone who finds the typical 5.8mm "golden ratio" outer blades built like the Viscaria too bouncy. It's not quite like an inner-ply blade, but it does hold the ball, so it's still very easy to use even as an outer blade.
I hear shakehand versions are still in stock, but honestly it's a bit surprising this masterpiece hasn't sold out yet.
I don't think it's picky about rubber pairing, but since it's on the thinner side, I think it pairs well with hard spin-tension rubbers or tacky rubbers. Soft spin-tension rubbers felt like they held the ball too much, so I'd go with something 45 degrees or harder.
It's also light, so it's a great choice for anyone who wants to use an outer blade while keeping the total racket weight down.
Blades with this construction and this thickness are pretty rare, so I recommend it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

Used on the backhand of a Chinese-style penhold with an outer carbon blade — I haven't served with it so I can't say about that.
First of all it's light — for a medium hardness rubber, it's about as light as the Factive.
The sheet grips the ball well, and both the sheet and sponge have a wrapping softness to them while still having plenty of elasticity.
Topspin drives and chiquitas against backspin are really easy to do.
The arc isn't too high, so both topspin drives and flat hits work fine.
It's a really well-balanced rubber, and I'd recommend it for beginner to intermediate players.
That said, when I hit a strong-impact counter drive, the sheet felt too soft and I got a sense of the ball dropping — it's a good rubber, but I ended up giving up on using it continuously.
I think it suits junior high schoolers, or use on the backhand side (reverse side or shakehand), and I think it would be difficult for someone who trusts their impact hitting.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Used on the backhand side of an outer carbon blade.
The sponge is rated around 45 degrees, but the sheet is soft so it feels more like 43.
The sheet hardness is somewhere between the 80 and 64, maybe a bit harder than the 80FX.
Since I only used it on the back, I can't comment on serves, pushes, or stops.
The sheet is soft with good grip on the ball, so it holds the ball well. The drive trajectory is high, but it doesn't drop as sharply as Tenergy 05.
Drives, hitting, and chiquita all worked fine, but blocking was the best.
Compared to Tenergy, it doesn't fly off on its own, so it's very easy to control.
As a backhand rubber, it was flawless - no complaints at all.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
