  PLAXON 525

  

  First off, the sponge has some firmness but isn't rock hard. The topsheet doesn't grip well, and even when you brush the ball to add spin, the grip is very weak and it slips easily.

  When you actually hit with it, the sound and feel on a flat shot are really good - it reminded me of the old Bryce, lol.
  The bounce has that same kind of feel, so it's hard to call it a rubber that bounces by today's standards.
  When I tried topspin drives, whether I brushed it thin or tried to sink the ball in, the spin just wouldn't take - in power, follow-through, and stability, it has that Bryce-like feel... actually, the Bryce grips the ball better, lol.

  I bought this myself to compare it with the Vega Pro, but in topsheet grip, bounce, stability, and sound on contact, I couldn't find a single point where it beat the Vega Pro.

  Since it's hard to put strong spin on the ball yourself, it's also less affected by your opponent's spin, so I think it's great for someone thinking about switching from short pips to inverted rubber.
  Also, since the bounce isn't too strong, you can block it firmly and keep it under control. Countering is difficult since it doesn't grip the spin, so it lacks stability there.

  まずスポンジはコシがあってカチカチに硬くはないです。シートは引っかかりが弱く、玉突きで回転を掛け合っても掛かりがとても弱くスリップしやすいです。

  実際に打球するとミートした時の打球音と感触はとてもよく、昔のブライスな感じを思い出しましたｗ
  弾み自体もそんな感じで、現代で弾むラバーとは言いにくいです。
  ドライブをすると擦る、食い込ませる打ち方のどれを試しても回転が乗らず、威力、伸び、安定感共にブライス感が・・・いやブライスの方が掛かりますｗ

  私自身ヴェガ プロと比較したくて購入しましたが、シートの引っかかり、弾み、安定感、打球音どれをとってもヴェガ プロに勝るポイントを見出せませんでした。

  自分で回転を強く掛け難いので、相手の回転の影響を受けにくい特性から表ソフトから裏ソフトに移行を検討している方にはとてもいいと思います。
  さらに弾みもそこまでなので、ブロックはしっかり止められます。カウンターは回転が掛からないので安定感がなく難しいと思います。

  X-Tend HS

  

  This rubber uses the hardest sponge in the series, and it really grips the ball a lot.
  That said, when you brush the topspin drive with the sheet, it bites into the ball really well, the shot flies in a straight line, and it sinks deep into the opponent's court, so it felt stable too. The drive also has high levels of spin, speed, and arc stability, so I think it still holds up today.

  The normal version of the same series has a nice high arc and a good hitting sound, but the bounce and spin weren't very high, so since I use a lot of drives close to mid-distance from the table, the HS version suited me better. However, when paired with a carbon blade, ball-holding wasn't great, resulting in a drive with thin, weak spin. I think wood-based or inner-carbon blades let you hit with more power when paired with this rubber.

  That said, it inherits the same series' tendency for the topsheet to tear easily, and while durability has improved somewhat, by the time it reached the end of its life the topsheet had definitely torn.

  このラバーは同シリーズ中最も硬いスポンジを使用していますが、かなり食い込みが強いです。
  しかしシートで擦るドライブは食い付きがとても良く、打球も直線的でコート深くで沈みこむ為安定感もありました。ドライブも回転量、スピード、弧線の安定感が高いので現代でも通用すると思います。

  同シリーズのノーマル版は高い弧線といい打球音がありますが、弾み、回転量があまり高くなかったので、前中陣でのドライブを多用するのでHSの方があっていました。ただ、カーボン系ラケットに貼ると球持ちが良くなかったので、スカスカの回転のドライブになりました。合わせるラケットは木材系、インナー系の方が威力のある球を打てると思います。

  ただ、同シリーズ共通のシートがもげやすいのを受け継いでいて、多少耐久性が向上していますが、寿命を迎えるころには確実にシートがもげていました。

  KORBEL

  

  You can tell from how long it's been in the catalog lineup that it has a lot of fans, and the ball-holding feel is really good - good enough that I almost wished it had a bit more bounce. For a Butterfly blade, I think it flexes more than you'd expect.
  The best part of this blade, though, is probably how easily it brings out the performance of whatever rubber you put on it.

  I've used it regularly myself since I was a beginner, but once the non-glue era started, I wanted more bounce from the blade itself, so I switched.
  That said, if you put something like Tenergy on it, the lack of bounce is solved to some extent, so you can use the good ball-holding to hit topspin drives and attack with placement and change of pace.

  However, as other reviews mention, a lot of these weigh over 90g relative to how much bounce they have, so if you put heavy rubbers on it, it ends up as heavy as a 7-ply blade.

  カタログラインナップの長さから愛好者が多いラケットであることがわかりますが、球持ちがとてもよく、もっと弾んで欲しいくらいに感じるほどでした。バタフライのラケットにしてはしなりを感じやすいかなと思います。
  しかし、このラケットの一番美味しい部分はラバーの性能を発揮しやすいところかなと思います。

  私自身は初心者の時から定期的に使っていましたが、ノングルー時代になってラケット自体の弾みが欲しかった為交換しました。
  ただ、テナジーなどを貼れば弾みの問題はある程度解決できるので、球持ちの良さを生かしたドライブが打てるため、コース取りと緩急で攻めていけます。

  ただ、他の方のレビューでもあるように弾みの割りに重量が90ｇを超えるものが多いため、重いラバーを貼ると７枚合板ラケット並みに重量級ラケットになってしまいます。

  Mark V

  

  When I joined the table tennis club after starting junior high and bought my first proper racket, the club captain recommended a Korbel blade with Mark V rubber, so that's what I got. Since then, through both the glue era and the non-glue era, I've used Mark V many times.

  Now, in today's table tennis you often see beginners using cheap German tension rubbers, but I really think people should polish their basic technique with a high-tension rubber like Mark V. With German tension rubbers, the rubber does a lot of the work for you on the basic strokes — hitting flat, brushing, and grabbing the ball — but with Mark V you have to swing with real intent, or you won't get a good shot. It's not a rubber for winning in modern table tennis, but I think it holds up fine in matches up through about junior-high-level rally speed.

  I really think it's better to get good with this rubber first, and then move on to spin-oriented tension rubbers or tacky rubbers — that way you end up with a lot more tools in your toolbox.

  中学入学後に卓球部に入部して初めてちゃんとしたラケットを買うときにラケットはコルベル、ラバーはマークVを部長に勧められて購入。それからグルー使用、ノングルー時代を通して幾度となくマークVを使ってました。

  さて、現代の卓球はドイツ製テンションラバーの廉価版を初心者が貼っているのをよく見ますが、マークVのような高弾性ラバーで基本技術を磨いて欲しいと思います。弾く、擦る、引っ掛ける卓球の基本打法をドイツ製テンションはラバーが勝手に打ってくれる部分がありますが、マークVは自分の意志をもってスイングしなければ、いい打球にはなりません。現代卓球で勝つ為のラバーとは言えませんが、ラリースピードの遅い中学生ぐらいまでなら十分試合で通用すると思います。

  ぜひこのラバーを使いこなせるようになってから、スピン系テンションラバーや粘着系に進むようにしたほうが、色んな引出しを持つことが出来るようになると思います。

  ROZENA

  

  Using max thickness on both sides. Before this I used Yasaka Rakza X at max thickness on both sides.

  During warm-up, doing light forehand, backhand, and pushes gives that Tenergy-like feeling where the spin kicks in automatically. But if you try a topspin drive with a brushing stroke using the sheet, it doesn't grip at all and just drops into the net with no spin.
  However, if you extend that light stroke into more of a meaty hit, the spin grabs solidly and turns into a powerful, elongated drive.

  In my first practice session I couldn't shake this odd feeling. With Tenergy, even a brushing stroke on the top sheet bites hard across the whole rubber, but with Rozena I felt like I couldn't use the strokes and feel I'd built up unless I really sank the ball in and brushed hard. For tough receives and rally returns, if you just hit flat, the sheet and sponge grip the ball and it comes back with quite a bit of spin, so I sort of understood what "tolerance" means. If you touch it thin, it slides, and stops (short pushes) hold nicely too.
  I think this matches well with junior high/high school players, women, and players switching over from spin-oriented short pips. Once you understand its characteristics, combined with the softer sponge, you should be able to handle it.

  Since the sheet is slippery, people switching from other rubbers will need effort to understand its characteristics, so if you don't want to deal with that, I'd recommend just buying Tenergy.

  両面特厚で使用。前回まではヤサカ　ラグザＸを両面特厚

  アップで軽くフォア、バック、ツッツキをすると回転がオートで掛かるテナジー特有の感覚。ドライブをシートで擦る打ち方だと全く引っかからずネットにポトリと無回転で落ちる。
  だけど軽打の延長でミート気味に叩くと回転がしっかり掛かって強烈に伸びるドライブになる。

  初回の練習ではこの違和感を拭うことが出来なかった。テナジーならトップシートで擦る打ち方でも強烈にラバー全体で食いつくのに、ロゼナはかなり食い込ませて擦る打ち方をしないと今まで培ってきた打法、感覚を使えないと感じた。難しいレシーブ、ラリーの返球はとりあえずフラットに打てばシート、スポンジで食い込んでかなり回転の掛かった返球になるので「トレランス」の意味がなんとなく分かった。薄く当てれば滑ってストップもしっかり止まる。
  中高生、女子、回転系表ソフトから移行する選手にはマッチすると思う。特性を理解すれば柔らかめなスポンジと相まって扱いきれるはず。

  シートが滑るので他のラバーから移行する人は特性を理解する努力が必要になるので、それが嫌な人はテナジーを買うことをオススメします。
