1. It bounces more than a typical entry-level or beginner blade - my impression is a bit more than the Korbel.
2. The trajectory is a little flat/straight. I'd recommend a rubber that gives more of an arc (maybe something like Rozena).
3. There seems to be some variation in weight between units. Mine was around 87g.
4. Made in Japan, and the build quality is good (though it doesn't feel especially premium).
5. The feel on contact isn't great - the vibration is weak and it feels a bit dull/mushy. Not suited to anyone who likes a wood-like feel.
6. The grip feels slightly on the thin side. It's closer to the SK7 than to the Korbel or SK Carbon - maybe close to a Timo Boll Flare.Overall, this suits beginners through intermediate players. For beginners, it's a blade you can use for a long time if you start with something like Sriver or Roundell and then step up to Rozena, etc. Technically it has solid performance, so that gets a thumbs-up.
That said, personally I find it lacking because the wood-like feel is weak. It's lighter than the Korbel, so for beginners either the Mace or this one would work.
I don't think this is a blade intermediate-or-above players would specifically go out of their way to buy. Just for reference.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I've used this rubber several times, and I think its biggest feature is the high grip on the ball. Lifting backspin is really easy,
and it's incredibly strong in topspin rallies. That said, hitting flat tends to produce straight, spinless balls and is hard to control, so you really need to brush the ball. I think it performs best on the forehand.
The downside is that it's extremely heavy — going over 50g is basically a given, so keep that in mind.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Recomend racket Walnut carbon

First off, it's slightly tacky, but once the ball is on it, the bounce is the same as a tension rubber, with really high grip.
When I actually rallied with it, I kept overshooting one shot after another. The arc is really high!
It rises about 10cm higher than a normal spin-tension rubber, which makes it hard to hit. It's a rubber that takes some getting used to.
That said, lifting backspin balls is easier since the ball naturally rises more. It goes in with a fairly loose margin for error.
Flat hitting works too, but it's hard to make it a real weapon. This is a rubber you win with through spin.
It's on the heavy side but high-performance, so if you use it, you'll need to practice and get used to it. It doesn't pair well with wooden blades that already have a lot of arc. I think it pairs well with special-material blades, wood that doesn't produce much arc, or blades with a flatter trajectory. The Korbel has a fair amount of arc, so the pairing was bad for me.
I'd encourage everyone to give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Recomend racket KORBEL

I used the 2.0 thickness on my forehand.
The most notable feature is that the topsheet has really high grip. Lifting backspin with a drive is effortless.
The speed is decent, spin is easy to put on serves and pushes, and the short game is handled smoothly too.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Since the sheet is Mark V-based, the grip on the ball isn't bad. It's not suited for a topspin drive player who swings hard on both sides, but I think it would be a good rubber for an all-rounder, a close-to-the-table unorthodox-style player, or a beginner-level inverted-rubber chopper.
