The first time I used this was back in the celluloid ball era.
Back then the Vega series was hugely popular on the market, and this rubber showed up out of nowhere.
It costs a bit more than Vega, but its performance definitely surpassed Vega's.
Topspin drives, blocks, pushes, the short game, chops... whatever I did, I never felt any real difficulty with it.
Blocks and short-game technique in particular, which are usually easily affected by the opponent's spin, were incredibly easy to play.
The ball went exactly where I wanted, both in direction and bounce point, so I never felt like I'd lose a rally battle with it.
That said, since its maximum spin isn't all that high, in today's plastic-ball era I don't think you should expect much heaviness on your serves or topspin drives.
Even so, its strength in rally exchanges still holds up today, so it's a great rubber for anyone who wants to win points through rallies.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The moment I used this rubber, I was convinced it would sell well lol
These days, rubber prices in the table tennis world keep climbing, and you don't see many rubbers under ¥4000 anymore.
Even when you do find one, honestly it's usually just performance that matches the price, nothing more.
And then, out of nowhere, this Mantra series showed up.
I test-hit all three, H, M, and S, and M felt the best to me.
Just the right hardness, easy to put spin on, good control — there wasn't really anything that felt hard to do overall.
Especially when it comes to putting on spin, it goes in so reliably that you could almost say if you spin it, it lands lol
The downside might be that it flies a bit too well, making blocking a little tricky.
Other than that there wasn't really anything difficult, so I'd recommend it for attack-oriented players!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Opinions are split between "pretty hard" and "soft," but I'd say it's somewhere in the middle.
The sponge is on the harder side, but the topsheet is a bit soft, and I personally like how, when you press it with a finger, the sheet gives in and then pushes back with a lot of force.
I had it on both my forehand and backhand, but personally I'd recommend it for the backhand.
Not just the V>15, but VICTAS rubbers in general are built to make both attack and defense easy.
Blocking in particular is really easy. Stop it and it stops, drive it and it flies.
With the V>15, the ball does exactly what you want, so control was really easy.
If there's a downside, it's that it's fairly heavy. Also, its lifespan is fairly short.
After a month of use, the amount of spin dropped quite a bit.
Still, the ball really does go exactly where you intend it to, over and over, so I'd strongly recommend this to power hitters.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is a blade that's easy to use across the board, from beginners to advanced players.
Drives, hitting, pushes, blocks, counters... there wasn't a single technique I found difficult.
It also works with any rubber — tacky, tension, short pips, long pips — a true all-rounder that can handle any playing style.
It's a piece I'd recommend to junior high schoolers or people who've been playing for one or two years.
{Personal thoughts from here}
Personally, I felt the flight distance was a bit lacking.
Close to the table through mid-distance was no problem at all, but it was hard to fight back from far behind the table — I had to swing upward or the ball wouldn't go in.
That said, drives, blocks, and counters close to the table were extremely stable.
Also, rather than "the spin is amazing," it felt more like "you can generate spin consistently,"
so in terms of peak numbers it might fall a bit short of other blades
Still, I think it's very well suited to people who want to hit drives consistently, or who want stability in both attack and defense.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

These days Tenergy has gotten so expensive that it's become quite hard to afford.
Amid a wave of "post-Tenergy" products like the V15 and Rasanter aiming to fill that gap, this is the rubber that Butterfly - the very creator of Tenergy - confidently released.
Its performance is genuinely very similar to Tenergy; it feels like a rubber that blends the entire Tenergy lineup together and mellows it out.
For spin-generating techniques like drives, counters, serves, and pushes, it shows off its performance tremendously.
The ball goes in with exactly the spin and exactly the arc you intend.
And the interesting thing about this rubber is that it's less affected by the opponent's spin.
Actually, this sheet is designed to not grip spin very much.
So techniques like receives and blocks are also really easy to do.
That said, the drawback of this rubber is that it's hard to hit thin, grazing drives.
Partly because the sponge is soft, and partly because, as I explained, the sheet is designed to not grip spin easily, it sometimes slips.
But drives where you sink the ball in, or hit it thick, are extremely easy.
I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
