Among recent rubbers, this one has no quirks and is easy to use.
It has the kind of grip you'd get from a high-elasticity rubber, combined with tension-rubber speed and that crisp, satisfying feel.
On forehand, the ball feels a touch lighter compared to recent spin-tension rubbers, but you can still hit fast, extending drives.
On backhand too, the good ball-sinking feel makes both blocking and countering easy.
Overall I felt there were few techniques that were hard to pull off, but by the same token, there's nothing especially outstanding about its performance either.
Still, I think using this rubber without overreaching can help you improve at table tennis.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

This has become one of the standards that all other rubbers get measured against these days.
The powerful topspin that builds up even from a light forehand hit, and the way a drive draws an arc over your own side of the table and then extends with speed on your opponent's side - I think that's something unique to this rubber.
You can use it even with a weak impact, but I think this rubber shows its true value most with players who can put a proper full swing on the ball.
It does have its downsides, of course - a short lifespan, being easily affected by the opponent's spin, and the high price - but it's a rubber I'd want everyone to try at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I also own the Timo Spin. It feels like pretty much the same blade, but since it's a bit lighter, I think it opens it up to a wider range of players.
My impression after using it is that arylate carbon is often described as feeling like a soft carbon, but compared to plain wood it's actually hard and doesn't flex much. So I wouldn't recommend wood players jumping straight into this one.
As for drive speed, it's reasonably fast no matter who uses it, but unless you have decent confidence in your impact, the initial speed is just fast without much scariness behind it, so it's easy to return. If you have a fast swing and can make a solid impact, you can hit shots with both good spin and speed.
In conclusion, unless you're at a certain level, you'll end up not being able to use this blade's full potential.
That said, if you have the mindset of eventually hitting a great shot with this blade, I think anyone can give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

This is one of my favorite rubbers.
The amount of spin on serves and drives isn't quite at the level of the 05, but it still reaches a pretty high standard.
To fully bring out the 05's performance you need to be a pretty skilled player, but with the 64, even someone with a weaker impact can use it well as long as they have the basics down.
The combination of speed and spin unique to this rubber is something I'd really recommend everyone try at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Normally I use the Jun Mizutani blade a lot among outer-carbon blades, but I found this one has quite a hard time with control even for an outer blade. As a piece of wood it should be the same as the Timo Boll ALC and Timo Boll Spirit, but oddly enough it was harder to control.
I was using Tenergy 05 on the forehand, and when driving, the combination of Tenergy's characteristic auto-spin plus this blade produced quite some shot power, but long misses stood out a lot.
The backhand, though, was quite good — maybe thanks to the grip shape, the swing-through was easy and it felt noticeably more stable than the forehand.
Overall, I felt this blade suits players who rely heavily on backhand-based techniques, which is the current trend.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard
