This is the rubber I'm currently using.
Here's a comparison with Tenergy 05.
Forehand long game: I didn't feel much difference from Tenergy. Maybe the slightly harder feel is from the sponge?
Serve: More spin than Tenergy, no complaints there. Serve control seems hard without a fair amount of practice.
Topspin drive: Speed drives have a lot of spin, and low balls skim forward across the table. With loop drives, if you carry through with the whole rubber you get a lot of long misses, so brushing with the sheet keeps it stable.
Block: It's bouncy to begin with, so just touching the ball sends it flying like a counter. That said, control is difficult.
Counter: As mentioned with blocking, the bounce is strong, so countering takes practice (though countering itself always needs practice and feel).Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Recomend racket HURRICANE LONG 5

This feels like the discontinued Impartial with tension technology added on top.
Among spin-oriented rubbers, I'd say this one grips a lot of spin.
It grips spin differently from Ray Storm — where Ray Storm wraps the whole rubber around the ball to generate spin, this one felt more like a Challenger-type rubber, putting spin on with the topsheet while the sponge does the work of launching the ball.
I think it's a very easy rubber to use.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

For normal use, it feels about the same as a 5-ply wood blade. You really notice its performance once you use it in a match. On strong shots it fully brings out the ZLC bounce, and for the short game you get that wood-like feel, so I think it's a good blade.
That said, if you make thick contact over the table, it can fly like a special-material blade and turn into an easy ball for your opponent, so it might not suit people who get rattled easily.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I got this as a free sample along with the Spectrum Red.
Just like the Spectrum Red, there wasn't any technique that felt particularly hard to do.
It's firmer than the Red, so the ball leaves faster, and I think it suits players who focus on hitting battles and block/short game.
It doesn't wrap around the ball as much as the Red did, but it still grips well for spin.
It might be hard to use for beginners to short pips, or for junior high schoolers.
Even advanced players should find this rubber satisfying, I think.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The price shows as 0 yen since it was a sample.
This is the successor to the Avalox BT that Nittaku used to sell.
Like the Avalox, it's a Swedish-made blade built specifically for spin techniques like topspin drives.
When it comes to topspin drives, the ball draws a nice arc whether you're close to the table, mid-distance, or far back. Flat hitting felt a bit lacking in power.
For the short game, pushes, chiquitas, and stops were all easy to do, and flicks also showed great performance, letting you aim for specific courses with a soft touch.
Players who prioritize power, like high schoolers, might find it a bit lacking, but I think this blade suits players who like to take the initiative with topspin rallies.
(Personally, I wish it also came in an ST grip, like the Avalox did.)Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
