This is a tension rubber that carries on the legacy of the Bluefire M3. It's slightly softer than the Z1, and because the ball holds on the sheet a bit longer, I found it easier to handle. Backhand half-volleys and fish shots are easy to control, and soft-touch shots stay stable. I think it suits rally-oriented players who play close to mid-distance from the table.
Since it's open-priced, I was curious what it would actually cost in stores, but I managed to get it for under 4,000 yen including tax. Amazing value for money!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I think it's a good rubber, but it was a bit too hard for me, so I should have gone one level softer. Being harder probably adds to the sense of speed and makes the arc more linear. I put it on planning to use it on my forehand, but since the feel of the ball sinking in wasn't quite enough, I moved it to my backhand instead - and since the Rozena I'd been using on my backhand actually sinks in more, I moved that to my forehand.
The long lifespan and light weight seem to be this rubber's selling points, but I wonder about the cost side of things?Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I bought this for chop practice. It was refreshing that even in max thickness, this tacky rubber didn't feel heavy. On the first day, I swung the blade forward to chop and it bit hard, spinning like crazy! I had a blast chopping away all day.
But maybe because of the suction-type protective sheet, the moment the tackiness felt like it was wearing off, the cutting bite seemed to drop by half. I guess a tacky protective sheet is a must-have.
Long chops were easy, and it's easy to attack with too if you commit to the shot, but I found delicate touches at the net difficult. Longer pushes cut in on a nice straight line, so those were easy. I think it's far easier to handle than a Chinese rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I won a monitor giveaway and got to try this. The feel is on the hard side and the trajectory is flat. It didn't feel to me like I was getting much spin, but when I asked my opponent, they said the ball was coming in with a lot of power and weight. Personally, I like to feel the ball sink into the sponge, so I didn't keep using it, but at that price point, this might be one of the most powerful rubbers you can get. Only old-school fans will probably get this, but it reminded me of the "Super Sriver." It's marketed as a "Sriver for fast attacks."

I think this works well as a beginner-friendly chopping rubber. It's hard and keeps the bounce down, so the distance stays consistent. The sharpness of the cut is decent too. Pushes come out with a low trajectory as well. There's less worry about overshooting, so it seems like a good rubber for learning to really put your own spin on the ball. On offense, though, the lack of speed is undeniable. You can't get much power out of topspin drives, so I think it's better to hit flat instead.
