I used this as a custom reverse-penhold-to-shakehand conversion with the blade and handle shape modeled on a Violin R-H.
Since it's an inner construction, the carbon character doesn't come through too strongly, and the feel isn't rock hard either.
Even a light tap produces a fast-feeling ball, but it's not a crazy-fast, flying-off-the-blade type either — for the short game and other fine techniques, it holds still like a wood blade.
That said, since it's still carbon at its core, spin is a bit reduced compared to a 5-ply wood blade, and it feels slightly harder to put spin on the ball than with wood.Personally, I think this suits attacking players who play close to the table with flat hits and drives better than players who stay back.
It pairs fine with spin-oriented tension inverted rubber, and works well with short pips too.It's a well-balanced blade, so I'd recommend it even to people trying their first non-wood blade.

The sponge hardness is listed as 40 degrees, but maybe because the topsheet or the pips themselves are hard, the feel on contact seemed harder than the stated hardness.
It's a short pips rubber, but the grip is excellent and it puts plenty of spin on the ball, so even being short pips, you can attack with spin-heavy topspin drives too.
Flat, flick-style hits that take advantage of the tension bounce and hardness also produce plenty of power with no problem.
It doesn't automatically turn shots into knuckle balls, but they're fairly easy to produce too, so combined with the spin performance above, you can create real variation in spin using just one rubber.The bounce is good, so the short game takes some getting used to before you can control it, but since it's on the harder side, the ball didn't seem to float much.
I think this is a well-balanced rubber that could be called a finished form of the modern short pips - it has spin performance, produces knuckle balls easily, and still gets speed. Being a tension rubber it seems to wear out fairly fast, but given the high performance, the price of around 5,000 yen is cheap, so it also has pretty good value for money.
Overall, I think its performance is similar to VICTAS's VO>102.

I used this on the reverse side of an Acoustic Carbon Inner (custom-made flip-play blade).
It advertises stability, and true to that, shots stay consistent and clear the net reliably.
It's easy to put spin on and it grips the ball well, so you can lift the ball easily and attack with a spinny drive.Since it's a somewhat soft rubber that stays consistent on the table, you might think shots in the short game would tend to pop up, but despite being soft, it still keeps fine touches like stops and pushes low.
Hit it softly and it stays low; hit it hard with a drive and it arcs nicely and lands on the table. It has a level of stability you don't get with other tension rubbers.Not just with Rhythm Tec, but the good hitting sound that's characteristic of Joola rubbers is very much present here too - that crisp, metallic sound makes hitting the ball genuinely satisfying and fun.
Overall it feels like an entry-level spin-tension rubber with no bad habits, easy to handle.
Officially it's classified as spin tension, but in terms of character, it feels more accurate to call it a control-oriented tension rubber.
It's a hidden gem I'd recommend not only to beginners but also to intermediate and advanced players looking for stable, consistent table tennis.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
