    This is a STIGA rubber made in Japan.
    Cut to mid-size penhold (leaving about 1.5cm), thick, at 47g it's a bit on the heavy side, probably because the sponge is hard.
    That said, once I put it on a 5-ply blade, the feel wasn't as hard as I expected.
    It can handle not just topspin drives but flat hits and counters too, so I think it suits penhold as well.
    You need real power to blast it through from away from the table.

    My old Infinity had the top ply peel up right where I'd knocked it against the table, but even though this blade uses the same VPS, maybe because the top ply is made from hard Arctic wood, it hasn't peeled at all so far.
    Control is also easy to manage despite the hardness - not quite as much as a blade with special materials, but still a lot of speed for a 5-ply.
    The look is beautiful too, with a white base color, and the performance is great, so I plan to keep using this one for a long time. On the other hand, I find myself worrying about it getting even a little dirty, so this is the blade I've cleaned the most out of all of them.

    The sponge has a soft feel that doesn't seem like 54 degrees, and it's usable on par with a tension rubber.
    1. Weight
    At mid-penhold size (cut about 1.5cm off), it was 47g.
    2. Offensive technique
    - Serve
    Maybe because the sheet is soft, sometimes it's hard to get spin on with a brushing motion.
    - Drive
    The ball tends to rise easily, so drives stay stable and consistent.
    3. Defensive technique
    - Push
    Sometimes trying to put spin on with the sheet doesn't quite work.
    - Stop
    Stops without any problem.
    - Block
    Maybe because it's easily affected by the opponent's spin, a block where you just meet the ball can sometimes go long.

    It doesn't have any one standout trait, but it's a rubber with a good balance of control, spin, and speed.
    For the price, I think the potential is high.

    Since it's lightweight, I use it on the backhand side of my Chinese-penhold blade.
    The sponge is soft — it feels softer than Vega Europe.
    It bounces well, but on the other hand, there's a bit of power loss when you hit it hard.
    Blocks go in well.
