I started out using it on my backhand, but it turned out to be surprisingly good on the forehand too, so this review covers both sides.
First, serves — it pairs great with reverse-motion (wraparound) serves. If you really let the ball sink in as you wrap around, you can get way more spin on the serve than you'd expect.
On the forehand, topspin drives go in consistently with a satisfying sound.
However, brushing/spin-heavy drives didn't generate that much spin and felt a bit lacking. It's really good for scoring by letting the ball sink in and driving to a specific spot.
On the backhand, it's less affected by the opponent's spin compared to spin-oriented rubbers, so both counters and blocks are easy to do.
For the short game, on either forehand or backhand, I felt this rubber isn't really its strong suit.
Overall, the raw amount of spin isn't especially high, but I think it's an all-around rubber with a refreshing sense of speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I've tried 7-ply blades before — the SK7a, SK7, and Rideac — but none of them quite clicked for me. The reasons were the ball leaving the blade too quickly and my own lack of power.
This blade, though, holds the ball well for a 7-ply, and the harder I hit with my own strength, the more the ball goes where I intend.
The SK7 series is faster on drives, but this one is clearly better for control, and I had no complaints playing the short game either.
Overall, this is a 7-ply blade with a moderate amount of bounce, and it doesn't feel too heavy in hand, so I think it's an easy blade for anyone to use.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This is a Yasaka rubber without any weird quirks—one of the veterans by now.
Compared to rubbers coming out from various makers today, it falls short on spin and speed, but it's overwhelmingly easier to use.
Both speed and spin are just okay—to put it negatively, it's kind of middle-of-the-road—but that in-between feel is just right for your first tension rubber.
I think using this rubber as a stepping stone will help you improve further with whatever rubber you use next.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I put Xiang Long on the forehand.
For forehand drives, when you catch the ball early and get a solid impact, the trajectory — helped along by the Xiang Long — turns into an absolutely nasty, fast shot. But if your timing is even a little late, or you mishit it, the ball can come out flat with no spin or fly long.
As for blocking, both forehand and backhand held up against the opponent's power, letting me absorb the shot and block consistently.
Overall it's a powerful blade, but I'd recommend it more for players who like to attack close to the table.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I think this is a blade that people moving up from pure wood who want just a bit more bounce could switch to without much of an adjustment, among inner-carbon blades.
There's a real sense of holding the ball on contact, which makes every shot feel stable, and because of that ball-holding feel, it seemed easy to use spin-generating techniques across the board.
Ball speed does feel slower compared to an outer-carbon blade, though.
A blade I'd recommend to anyone who wants to attack with a sense of stability.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
