  TeruRyu

  

  Since it's a tacky sheet with tension added, it has both the grip typical of Chinese rubbers and some bounce. Honestly, if you try Kiryu after other tacky rubbers, you might feel it doesn't feel very "tacky." Maybe that's why it also has less of the unpredictable ball behavior typical of tacky rubbers.

  That said, because the sheet grips the ball well, I think it's also easy to use for hitting against backspin or going for quick, aggressive shots close to the table.

  Still, being a tacky rubber, unlike German or Japanese rubbers, I feel like the ball doesn't really fly unless you take a full, proper swing.

  
  This is just my personal impression, but I feel the red and black versions differ in tackiness and bounce.
  The black one is a bit more tacky. The red one has more bounce than tackiness.

  I feel this is a rubber that's picky about the blade, so I won't mention which blade I'm using.
  I think a flexible blade works more consistently. Seven-ply blades and carbon-outer blades are harder to handle, so I think they'd need practice and getting used to.

  粘着シートにテンション掛けてるだけあり、中国ラバー特有の引っ掛かりの良さに弾みもあります。正直言って他の粘着を試してから輝龍を使用すると、粘着らしくない。と感じてしまうかもしれません。そのためか粘着特有のクセ球も少ないかもしれません。

  けど使用者に取ってはシートの引っ掛かり良さあるので、対下回転打ちや早いとこで叩きに行くような打法もしやすいのかなと思います。

  やはり粘着のためドイツ性や日本性ラバーと違いスイングはしっかり振らないと球が走らない傾向あるかなと思います。

  
  個人的な感想ですが、赤と黒で粘着と弾みが違いあると感じてます。
  黒はやや粘着強め。赤は粘着よりも弾み。

  ラケットを選ぶラバーであると感じているため使用ラケットの記載は致してません。
  しなる系のラケットが安定的に使えると思います。7枚やカーボンアウターは扱い難しいため練習と慣れが必要なるかと思いました。

• Ventus Spin

  

  It's not as soft as the Soft version in the same line, but it's still a fairly soft rubber.
  Besides women and juniors, I think it would also suit men who aren't confident in their backhand or their swing speed.

  For advanced players competing at the national level, Speed or Super Ventus would probably be a better choice. Even for men, if you want to add a bit of attack while still mainly rallying from the backhand, Spin might make that easy.

  I have it on a harder blade myself. On the backhand, drives grip the ball well, and on flatter meet-the-ball shots you can still hold the ball and pop it out, so both styles work fine. (I asked other users too, and they said it's easy to hit flat with it as well.)

  Want bounce! Want spin!
  Want it to pop off the rubber easily but also want it to hold the ball! I think it's versatile enough even for people who want it all.

  
  Overall, I feel this suits high-school-age men and up better on the backhand than the forehand. For women and juniors, I think it's fine on the forehand too.

  同シリーズのソフトほどではないですが、それでも大分柔かめのラバーです。
  女性やジュニアの他に男子でもバックに自信のない人やスイングスピードに自信ない人向けなるかなと思います。

  全国出場等の上級者選手が使用するにはスピードやスーパーヴェンタスが良いかと思われます。男子でもバックは繋ぎつつも少し攻撃入れたい場合はスピンで楽々かもしれません。

  私自身は硬めのラケットに貼ってますが、バックはドライブは引っ掛かりつつも、ミートの際は球を持ちながら弾き出せるので、どちらもしやすいです。(他の使用者にも聞いたところ、ミートしやすいとのこと。)

  弾みほしい！回転ほしい！
  弾きやすいけど球も持ってほしい！という欲張りな人にも万能だと思います。

  
  全体通して合う選手層は、男子高校以上であればフォアではなくバック向けと感じております。レディースやジュニアはフォアでも良いと思いました。

  ROZENA

  

  In a word, it's a toned-down Tenergy.

  Since it uses Tenergy's spring sponge, you can feel the ball sinking into the sponge on impact.

  I'm not personally a user of spring-sponge rubbers like Tenergy or Rozena, but when I actually test-hit it, I felt the power it has to grab and launch the ball when you hit it hard.

  If your impact is too weak, there's a risk the ball flies off before the rubber can grip it, so players like that might be better suited to a flexible blade rather than a high-rebound one.

  For people who can't use Tenergy for various reasons (price, etc.), this seems like a rubber that works fine without issue.

  一言で表現するとランク下げたテナジー。

  テナジーのスプリングスポンジを採用してるため、インパクト時には食い込み感はあると感じます。

  私自身テナジーやロゼナなどスポンジスポンジの使用者でないですが、実際試打した際は、強くインパクトしたら球を持ち飛ばし出す力がスゴいと感じております。

  インパクトがなさすぎると逆に球を持たずして、先に飛び出してしまう恐れがあるため、そういう選手は反発ラケットより、しなるラケットだと合うのではないでしょうか。

  色んな理由でテナジーが使えない(値段など)でも問題なく使えるラバーでないでしょうか。

  FLYATT SOFT

  

  The sponge is soft, so the ball really sinks in before it launches off. It's so soft that there's no initial pop to it.
  That said, it's soft enough to let you play stable, repeated shots.
  When I tried it on the backhand, meeting the ball was easy, and I think you can rally with confidence.

  The forehand also gets good distance, but since the spin is a bit lacking, I don't think it's suited to a drive-focused game.
  I'd say it's better suited to players who play fast, close-to-the-table table tennis or rely a lot on meeting the ball.

  Personally, if the sheet had a bit more grip on the ball, it would be close to perfect, and I'd actually want to use it - but since it feels like a rubber built for hitting techniques like blocks and meeting the ball, I personally felt it's less a rubber for top-level men's players and more suited to women up through middle-school-aged boys.

  スポンジが柔らかく食い込むだけ食い込んでから飛んでいってくれます。柔らかすぎて初速はないですね。
  だけどソフトで安定感ある連打は可能でした。
  バック試打でミートがやり易いラバーで、安心して連打できると思います。

  フォアも飛距離は出ますが、回転が不足するためドライブ主戦は向かないかなと感じます。
  前陣で早い卓球やミート多用する選手向けかなと思います。

  気持ち的にはシートの引っ掛かりがあれば、申し分なく、むしろ使いたいと感じますが、ブロックやミートなど当てる系の技術向けラバーと感じたため
  男子上級層が使用するラバーというより、レディース～中学男子くらいまでと個人的に感じました。

  Ventus Soft

  

  The softest sponge in the Ventus lineup.
  This is a rubber you can hit with ease even without much power, like women or junior players.
  Because the ball sinks in, dwell time is good and it has good bounce, plus the topsheet grips the ball well too.

  It's too soft for men to use, so I think players with strong impact won't be able to hold up with it (since it's soft, hitting too hard risks tearing the topsheet).

  With a softer or more flexible blade, even if you get rushed in a rally, the dwell time helps the ball land back on the table.
  With a harder blade like a 7-ply all-wood, it was easier to meet-hit the ball.

  
  If you're worried about the softness causing loss of speed or durability issues, something like the Spin version in the same lineup might be a better choice.

  ヴェンタスシリーズ1番のソフトスポンジ。
  女性やジュニアのように力が無くても楽に打てるラバーです。
  食い込むため球持ちも良く、弾みも良いですが、シートの引っ掛かりも良いです。

  男子が使うには柔かすぎるので、インパクト強めの選手が使うと耐えきれないと思います。(柔らかいので強すぎるとシート切れる恐れあり)

  柔らかめのラケットやしなるラケットだとラリーで詰まっても球持ちでコートに収まります。
  硬めな7枚合板のようなラケットですとミートしやすかったです。

  
  柔らかいために失速や耐久性に心配であれば同シリーズのスピンなどのほうが良いかもしれませんね。
