Despite the name Vega Asia DF, the sponge hardness is 42.5 degrees, softer than the regular Asia. To make up for that, the sheet is a bit harder, which makes it easier to generate spin. So the feel is more like an upgraded Vega Europe. It doesn't grip the ball especially well, and the bounce is average, so I think it's meant for close-to-the-table play. At mid-distance the bounce feels a bit lacking. It's cheap too, so it's a great step up from Vega Europe. I think it suits intermediate and beginner players on the backhand. It might also work well for people using Rakza 7 Soft who want a slightly softer sheet.

A 7-ply blade that leans toward 5-ply, and it's really easy to use. It doesn't bounce too much and holds the ball just the right amount, so I think it works fine as a first blade for beginners. It's also a safe pick when moving up from a 5-ply blade in search of more power.

I switched from the TSP Swat looking for more power. What I liked is that it doesn't bounce much on light shots, but when you really commit to the ball, it has plenty of speed. It also has enough speed from mid-distance to hold its own in rallies, and I was surprised that it didn't feel hard to use over the table despite that. The drawback is the weight, but I think that's manageable by using thick sponge or a lighter rubber on the backhand. Also, my Fortius FT is 92g, and I also have an SK7 at the same 92g, but probably due to the balance point, the Fortius felt lighter with the same rubber on it. On top of that, it's priced at around 6,000 yen, which is cheap for the performance, so I'd really encourage anyone who's been using a more stability-focused blade to give this one a try.

I switched to this from short pips on my backhand. It's soft so the ball sinks in easily, and the performance was more than enough for learning the basic techniques. I think it's a classic choice for a first tension rubber. Speed and spin are both decent, so once you start feeling the performance isn't enough, I think it's fine to move on to something like Vega Asia DF or Rakza 7 Soft.

It's called Rakza X Soft, but the sponge itself is a mid-range 45 degrees, and including the sheet the overall hardness is 46.4 degrees, which is on the harder side. (The sheet is hard.) So it works perfectly fine on the forehand. The grip is very good, and the ball lifts without slipping, but despite that, the spin felt just okay to me.
