I used the thick version on my backhand.
It's a medium hardness but feels a bit on the soft side. The sheet and sponge work together well, so the ball sinks in easily and it's easy to put spin on. Drives, hits, blocks, and counters all come out consistent and powerful.
What impressed me the most was the speed, distance, and carry of topspin drives from mid-distance. It was wonderfully stable and felt great to swing. Racket compatibility probably plays a role too...
The short game isn't hard to do either.
At this price, this level of performance is worth trying!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used the Ultra Max thickness.
Rallies, blocks, and counters all had a power I'd never felt before. The ball sinks in, launches off, and just powers through. You can feel it the moment you hit it — this is a totally different rubber from what I've used before.
That said, the moment I tried a brushing or grazing stroke, the power and stability disappeared. The feel for lifting backspin with a topspin drive is so different that, honestly, I couldn't handle it well. If you keep your contact point up, stay low, and swing through almost horizontally, it fires off in an incredible trajectory — but if your form breaks down and your contact point drops...
The rubber's performance is amazing, but it's hard to master. I heard using a thinner sponge makes it feel like a completely different rubber, so I'd like to try that version next.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

On the forehand, the trajectory is low and flat, and the ball often flies past the far end of the table. It feels like it leaves before you've fully grabbed it. On the backhand, though, it grips the ball properly, giving you a low, sharp arc that lets you attack aggressively.
Oddly enough it's also stable - I'd recommend this one for the backhand!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used the 2.0 thickness on my forehand.
It has plenty of bounce and is easy to handle. Spin is easy to generate, but the max spin ceiling is on the lower side. If you're chasing maximum spin, this might feel a bit lacking.
What's appealing is the driving forward momentum - it just keeps pushing the ball through. It lets you keep attacking easily even in fast-paced rallies. Even from farther back, the power doesn't drop off.
Blocks and counters are aggressive and stable, holding up against your opponent's power without folding.
Pushes also come out low, sharp, and with good spin - a nice feel.
When it clicks, it's an absolute beast of a rubber. I couldn't get the most out of Ultra Max on an R42, so for starters I'd recommend trying the Rasanter series at the 2.0 thickness.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I was expecting an easier-to-handle version of G-1, but... I found it quite lacking.
It's so stable that it lacks power. Lifting backspin isn't very easy either.
I think it's an ideal beginner's rubber for learning basic strokes, the short game, blocking, and so on.
If you're happy with Fastarc, this probably won't suit you.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
