This is Roundell Hard, but it didn't feel as hard as I expected. The catalog hardness says 40, but maybe because of the sheet, it had good grip on the ball. That's probably why it didn't feel hard to me. Flicking with grip over the table was easy to do. When I stepped back to mid-distance and took a full swing, the ball would really sink into the rubber and I could hit a topspin drive with good pace. But if your swing speed is slow you won't get this feeling, so if you're not confident in your swing, or if you play close to the table, I think the normal Roundell might suit you better.

I put Roundell Hard on the forehand of my Korbel and Roundell Soft on the backhand. Comparing the hard and soft versions, I didn't notice much difference doing ordinary ball-bouncing type practice. The biggest difference between hard and soft showed up on serves and hard-hit shots.
On serves, using the same motion for a backspin serve, the soft version stopped shorter. And on drives where you brush up from underneath, the hard version had more of a feel of the rubber catching the ball firmly and snapping it out, while the soft version gave more of an impression of stability on reflex swings, like when the opponent aims for the opposite side.
I mostly play close to the table and use a lot of blocks and short-game shots, so if I go with Roundell again, I think I'd put Hard on the forehand and Normal on the backhand. It's nice that Roundell comes in three grades (covering price and bounce), so you can pick based on playing style, age, and so on.
Roundell Soft is recommended for junior-high players with stable drives, or for playing styles that focus on the short game and want to keep the bounce down. And if Soft ever feels like it's not quite enough, you can step up to Normal and then Hard, which is another reason it's a good rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

A friend lent it to me and let me try hitting with it. Both sides had thick rubber. My biggest impression after using it was that it really vibrates in your hand. When I hit hard shots, I felt like I got more overshoot misses.

First off, the Reygant is really light. With Tenergy 64 and 05 both in thick on either side, plus grip tape and side tape, the total weight is 162g. The blade itself is also quite small. It narrows near the grip, so the feedback you get in your hand is less than with other blades (like the Korbel). That said, it doesn't feel like the sweet spot is any smaller — as long as you hit near the center, the shot feels completely normal.
It's got arylate carbon in it, so even though it's light, it still has plenty of pop. (I think a lot of that is thanks to the Tenergy too...) Even compared to a Korbel with Roundell Hard (thick), the Reygant flies far better.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft
