Used it on my forehand.
I tried it with two blades — 7-ply and 5-ply wood — plus max thickness sponge.Forehand hitting: quite stable
Block: if you get the angle right, good shots go in easily
Drive: whether you brush it or sink it in, you get a lot of spin
Smash: average
Serve: excellent sharpness
Receive: pushes are easily affected by incoming spin
once you get used to it, both pushes and stops become stable
Slipping: none at allPros and cons
- Even when your opponent targets your middle and you're forced into an awkward stance, you can still aim your shot.
- I was impressed that I could drive without any slipping at all, even on balls that would slip with other rubbers.Other notes - I think the value for money is very good.
- Based on the hardness rating it seems like it'd feel hard, but once you actually hit with it, the hardness is just right, so the feel is very good and control is excellent.
- Being a non-slip sheet, it doesn't slip and generates plenty of spin, making it an all-round rubber I can recommend to anyone.
- With a carbon-reinforced blade, I think you can get an extra speed boost and draw out even more performance depending on the blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

■Size: 257mm overall length x 150mm width
■Grip (ST): 100mm length x 23mm thickness
FL is 23mm
■Blade thickness: 5.7mm
■Weight: 88g (±4g)Stringed Instrument series ... Applies the plywood construction technique used for stringed instruments, letting glue penetrate deep into the wood, giving it a distinctive sense of a solid core.
I'd had a chance to use a 5-ply blade and found it really easy to control, so this time I bought the Acoustic, which gets high marks among 5-ply blades.
Before this I had a carbon blade with a 5.6mm thickness, so the ease of control (with the same rubbers) really impressed me.
The rubbers I'm using are Rozena and Vega Pro, both max thickness.Compared to special-material blades the bounce is toned down, but because the ball sits on it so well, you get excellent control plus easy spin — which fit my control-focused playing style perfectly.
Topspin drives, counter-drives, and the short game in particular are extremely stable with this.
*If you find the Acoustic lacking in speed, I'd recommend a rubber with stronger bounce, or a 7-ply blade instead.

Used it on the forehand.
I tried it on a carbon blade and two 5-ply all-wood blades, with max thickness.Forehand hitting: very stable
Block: if you match the angle right, a good ball goes in easily. Get the angle wrong and it overshoots easily (carbon blade only)
Topspin drive: brushing it produces a surprising amount of spin
Serve: excellent bite
Receive: since it grips spin so easily, it's also easily affected by the opponent's spin, so if you misread the spin, it's game over (lol)Pros and cons
- Light contact doesn't produce much bounce, so it's easy to produce short serves
- When your opponent aims at your middle and you're forced to return the ball from an awkward position (without brushing it or letting it sink into the sponge), the ball tends to come back as an easy, flat return
- Because the sheet and sponge are hard, you never get pushed around by the opponent's shotsOther notes
The value for money is very good, I think.
With a 5-ply all-wood blade it's very easy to control and spins well, so I'd recommend it for both forehand and backhand.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Used on the backhand.
My blade has a carbon layer. Maybe because I'm using thick, it's very easy to control.Backhand: The bounce is a bit weak, so it's very stable if you hit with a bit of a pushing-through motion
Block: Very stable
Backhand drive: Whether you brush it or let it sink in, it gets solid spin either way
Serve: Sharp
Receive: Doesn't get affected by spin all that much, so you can receive consistentlyPros and cons
- For a tension rubber, the bounce is kept in check, which makes it very easy to control while still getting spinOther notes
At online prices, I think the value for money is excellent.
If thick feels a bit lacking in bounce for you, trying max thickness or a harder blade might let you appreciate this rubber's strengths even more.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Used it on both forehand and backhand.
My blade is a 5-ply. At max thickness, it feels like it bounces back exactly as much as you swing.Forehand hitting: very stable
Block: line up the angle and good shots go in easily
Drive: whether you brush it or sink the ball in, you get a good amount of spin either way, drawing a stable arc
Looping a push sometimes slips a bit?
Smash: stable
Serve: gets a decent amount of bite
Receive: very stablePros and cons
- When forced into an awkward position, like when the opponent aims for your middle, hitting with a blade that suppresses bounce sometimes caught the net. With a bouncier blade you'd probably return it more easily.
- Since the topsheet is somewhat soft and the sponge is medium hardness, you're not overpowered by the opponent's shots, and it feels like an all-rounder that handles any kind of ball competently.
- Maybe because it's paired with a 5-ply blade, counter-drives and flicks are also quite easy to control.Other notes
