  Among tension-type short pips rubbers, this one lets the ball sink in quite a lot.
  Rather than having bigger pips or a mesh pattern, it feels like the spin comes more from that sinking-in feel. If your spin technique relies on sinking the ball into the sponge, I think this is very easy to use.

  As for speed, it falls a bit short of Booster or Impartial on soft shots, but on hard hits it flies just as far.

  That said, I felt you need a fairly strong impact to produce fast shots. The feel is harder than the manufacturer states.

  So I'd recommend it for players with a fast swing who can really drive through the ball on impact.

  テンション系表ソフトの中では、よく食い込む方です。
  粒を大きくしたり網目を作ったりと言うよりは、食い込みで回転がかけやすくなった感じです。回転のかけ方はが食い込ませるタイプの場合は、とても扱いやすいと思います。

  スピードは軽打ではブースターやインパーシャルには見劣りするものの、強打では負けないくらいの飛距離が出ます。

  と言うのも、速いボールを打つために、割と強いインパクトが必要になると感じました。メーカー公表よりも打球感が硬めです。

  そのため、スイングが速くて、しっかりインパクトできる選手にはオススメです。

  When you hit it, the ball flies upward and doesn't slip, so it's easy to drive against backspin.
  It doesn't sink into the sponge the way inverted rubber does, so there's a limit to how much a drive can really carry. That said, there's no doubt it gives you more confidence driving than a conventional short pips rubber would.

  Meet-hitting produces a sharp, dry sound as the ball flies off. It's a slightly different impression from the metallic German-style sound.
  The manufacturer's video said it's easily affected by incoming spin, but I didn't get that impression at all. You can drive through any kind of spin.
  Also, according to the maker's numbers the bounce is the highest among short pips rubbers, if a bit lower than tension inverted rubbers, but because the ball leaves so quickly it feels faster than the numbers suggest.

  Hit it softly and it stays restrained; hit it hard and it flies off with a satisfying sound. A good rubber.

  打った時にボールが上方向に飛び、かつ滑らないため下回転に対してドライブがしやすいです。
  裏ソフトのように食い込むわけではないので、伸びるようなドライブには限界があります。従来の表ソフトよりドライブに安心感があるのは間違いありません。

  ミート打ちは、乾いた音で鋭く飛んでいきます。ドイツ系の金属音とは少し異なる印象です。
  メーカーの動画では回転の影響を受けやすいとされていましたが、そんな印象は受けませんでした。どんな回転でも打ち込めます。
  また、弾みはメーカーの数値では弾みは表ソフトの中では一番、テンション系裏ソフトよりは少し劣る感じでしたが、球離れが早いので数値以上のものを感じます。

  弱く打つと控えめに、強く打つと快音で飛んで行く良いラバーです。

  Booster SA

  

  I used both max thickness and thick.

  The pips are big, and it's easy to put spin on the ball.
  Because the tension is strong, the ball comes off the rubber quickly, so even with big pips you can hit angled shots and flat hits without being affected too much by the opponent's spin.

  Above all, the sound when you hit the ball is so satisfying. It makes a sharp, metallic ring.
  And it's not just the sound — the speed is also more than enough, letting you flat-hit with a really good feel.

  Since it's a spin-oriented rubber, blocking is basically easy. But because the rebound is so good, sometimes the ball flies out further than expected, causing net misses, or it comes out as an unexpected knuckle ball.
  Then again, short pips play is inherently high-risk, high-reward, so that's within an acceptable range.

  If I had to name one downside, it's that it's picky about the blade you use.
  Both the sponge and the topsheet are very springy, so if you put it on a hard blade, the ball comes off too fast and tends to drop or slide off.
  That said, with a Chinese-style penhold or a shakehand blade, you can adjust things with the rubber on the reverse side, so it's not a huge problem.

  Also, officially it's not supposed to be the case, but I feel like the sponge is thicker than other companies' rubbers.
  There might be some individual variation, but even the thick and medium versions feel like they have plenty of thickness.

  特厚と厚を使用しました。

  粒が大きく、回転がかかりやすいです。
  テンションが強いため球離れがよく、粒が大きくても相手の回転にさほど影響されることなく角度打ち、ミート打ちが可能です。

  何より、打った時の音が気持ちいいですね。高い金属音が鳴ります。
  もちろん音だけでなく、スピードも申し分なく、気持ち良くミート打ちができます。

  回転系のためブロックは基本的にやりやすいです。しかし弾きがいいため、たまに予想以上に飛び出してネットミスしたり予期しないナックルになったりします。
  そもそもハイリスクハイリターンが表ソフトの戦いなので、許容範囲内です。

  唯一イマイチなところを挙げるとすれば、ラケットを選んでしまうところです。
  スポンジもシートも弾性に富んでおり、硬いラケットに貼ると球離れが早すぎてボールが落ちたり滑ったりします。
  ただし中ペンやシェークの場合は裏面に貼るラバーで調節すればいいため、おおきな問題ではないと思います。

  あと、公表ではそんなことはないのですが、他社よりスポンジが厚い気がします。
  個体差があるのかもしれませんが、厚や中でも十分な厚みがある気がします。

  WFS rotor SR (Rounded type)

  

  I tried hitting with short pips, inverted rubber, and OX long pips on it, and all of them were easy to hit with and gave good control. The bounce is a bit lacking compared to special-material or 7-ply blades, but it was plenty enough to punch through the ball.
  Also, thanks to the WF (wood fiber), the sweet spot is noticeably wider, so the ball tends to go where you picture it going.
  Unlike other WFS blades, the top ply uses a harder wood, which gives it a solid feel despite the light weight.
  Combined, these traits made blocking and flat hitting easy.

  Because it's light (mine was 66g), and the blade is rounder than other makers' square-edge shapes so the balance point doesn't shift too far forward, it's also nice that you can swing through fully even with a heavier rubber mounted.

  I think this is just the right blade for making the most of a high-performance rubber.

  表、裏ソフト、粒高一枚を合わせて打ってみましたが、どれも打ちやすく、コントロールができました。弾みは特殊素材や７枚に比べれば物足りませんが、打ち抜くには十分なものが出ました。
  またWF(ウッドファイバー)のおかげで明らかにスイートエリアが広く、イメージ通りのボールが飛んでいきやすいです。
  表面には他のWFSとは違い硬めの板を使用しており、このおかげで軽量の割にしっかりとした打球感です。
  これらが相まってか、ブロックやミート打ちがやりやすかったです。

  軽いため(66gでした)、また他メーカーの角丸よりもブレードが丸めで重心が前に行き過ぎないため、重めのラバーを貼っても振り抜きやい点も魅力的です。

  高性能ラバーをきちんと使いこなす上で、丁度いいラケットだと思います。

  I figured it wouldn't amount to much without glue, but I was completely wrong. It has qualities you don't see in recent rubbers.

  First, it's light. The manufacturer advertises this too, and it's true.
  Second, your shots don't come out flat and dead (that's not the same as saying it has a lot of power). It feels like your force is transferring properly into the ball.
  On top of that, it's not very affected by your opponent's spin. Combined with the two traits above, counters and blocks are really easy to pull off.

  That said, spin doesn't come automatically, so it has its limits for short-game drives and chiquitas, and for sharp drives against backspin.

  I felt like this rubber definitely cuts down on mistakes.
  I'd recommend it for an intermediate player's backhand, or as a beginner's second or third rubber.
  For a beginner's very first rubber, I think it flies too much.

  グルー無しではパッとしないかと思いきや、とんでもない。最近のラバーにはない特徴を持っています。

  まず、軽いこと。メーカーもうたい文句にしていますが、間違いありません。
  次に、棒球にならないこと(威力があるというわけではありません)。力がボールにきちんと伝わっている感じがします。
  さらに、相手の回転の影響を受けにくいこと。上の二つの特徴も相まって、カウンターやブロックがとてもやりやすいです。

  ただし回転がオートでかかるわけではないため、台上でのドライブやチキータ、下回転に対する鋭いドライブには限界があります。

  確実にミスが減るラバーだと感じました。
  中級者のバック、初心者の２〜３枚目にオススメです。
  初心者の１枚目には飛びすぎると思います。
