    Used this on the backhand (1.8mm) — the feel is quite hard overall, and it's about 6g heavier than the rubber I normally use.
    There's not much feeling of the ball gripping into the sheet, but there's plenty of grip on the ball itself, so backhand drives come out with a solid arc. My impression was that it doesn't produce that much speed.
    The standout point of this rubber was that, because it grips less through the sheet, you can return the ball with your own spin without being affected much by the opponent's spin.
    I served backspin and the opponent pushed it back. A weak push floats up over the table, and I was able to push that ball back without being thrown off by the opponent's backspin — that scored me a lot of points.
    With a rubber that grips the ball a lot, you can end up netting the ball, but that didn't happen with this one.
    High-end rubbers give you plenty of spin, but that also means you're more easily affected by the opponent's spin.
    This rubber, being just the right amount less sensitive to spin, strikes me as easy to use for beginner-to-intermediate players.
    If the weight issue and the lack of ball speed got addressed, I'd like to keep using this rubber going forward, but in the end I went back to my familiar Vega Asia.
    My takeaway is that if other Ventus rubbers had this same low sensitivity to spin and the weight issue were solved, I'd want to try those too.

    I felt like there were a lot of comments comparing this to Tenergy, so I compared it to Vega Tour, which is in the same price range.
    Comparing them as forehand rubbers (Vega Tour: 1.8mm, Rozena: medium)
    The drive trajectory is fairly straight with Vega, whereas Rozena draws a sharp arc.
    Vega felt like it had more drive speed, but Rozena felt like it had more spin on drives.
    When you hit it with good form, I think Rozena has the edge in terms of ball power that can punch through an opponent.
    That said, Rozena's strong bounce makes it harder to handle, and for me Vega Tour, with its slightly more controlled bounce, gives more stable rallies.
    A lot of comments say both sponges are soft and easy to handle, but personally my impression of Rozena is more like "this bounces a bit much."
    In the end I've been using Vega Tour because I prioritize stability, but I switched blades from the 7-ply I was using to a 5-ply with less bounce, so I'm thinking of trying Rozena again.
    I have no doubt it's a really good rubber — I just think an intermediate-level rubber suits me better than a top-tier, high-end one.
