Since it came out, nothing has surpassed this rubber, and it's supported by everyone from hobby players to pros — you could call it the strongest rubber out there.
Drives that spin almost automatically, shots that trace a unique arc and land right on the table, serves that bite sharply — it does pick its user, but the benefits are immeasurable.
If I had to name a downside, it's that receives are heavily affected by spin, so unless you can read your opponent's spin and ball type and present the right racket angle, you won't get a stable receive.
I'd recommend it to competitive players and anyone who wants to win.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Compared to the tacky rubber I used 20 years ago, this is a completely different beast, aside from the smell.
The tackiness of the sheet is mild, but it has decent bounce and is easy to handle.
Every spin-based shot stays consistent at a high level.
It's characterized by being quite heavy, and defensive techniques like blocking can be a bit unforgiving.
I'd recommend it to players with a spin-focused playing style.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

After switching to tension rubbers, I had this on my forehand for a long time.
It seems to be a milder, more well-rounded version of the same maker's Fastarc C1.
You can play a stable game with just the right balance across every technique.
The light weight is also a plus, and considering the price and lifespan, the value for money is quite excellent.
Personally, I found the bounce when playing away from the table, and the sharpness on serves, a bit lacking, but for the purpose of getting used to tension rubbers, it didn't bother me.
Given the hardness, I also thought it would work fine on the backhand.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This blade is ideal for backhand-oriented play, but it also works fine used in reverse.
It's very light, and even though the blade is thin, it has carbon built in and plenty of bounce, so I'd recommend it for a hitting style with short pips on the forehand.
Personally, I feel the blade's construction and the way it flexes are similar to STIGA blades (like the Intensity or the Rosewood series), so I use inverted rubber on both sides without worrying much about rubber weight.
The one and only real drawback is that the grip is thin and small.
It's a matter of preference, but if that doesn't bother you, give it a try.
This is a blade that deserves more recognition.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

The biggest point is the distinctive metallic sound it makes on contact, which feels great.
As for performance, it's on the harder side with high grip, and works on either the forehand or backhand side.
Both serves and receives have no odd quirks in response, but the topspin drive naturally draws a slightly high arc with a bit of a loop feel.
Personally, I'd recommend this for the backhand side of players moving from single-sided penhold to shakehand or double-sided penhold. (Single-sided penhold players use a hard rubber to cover the backhand too.)Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
