Max thickness, 50g.
・Great grip on the ball! Grips like Tenergy 05!
・The sheet is hard, so pushes and stops sit down nicely. Spin that's not far behind Rakza 7!
・Really easy to get the ball onto the opponent's table! Easy to produce the shot you're picturing!
I've decided to make this my main rubber.
It's not the highest-performing rubber out there, but I love it for being "a hard rubber that's still super easy to use."
It's hard and grips the ball with plenty of spin, sinking it in nicely, yet it's still easy to handle!
I think it's probably designed so that whatever swing or impact you use, it naturally forms an arc and lands on the opponent's side.
Compared to Dignics 05, the speed and spin fall a bit short, which is a minor complaint.
But compared to Butterfly's rubbers, it's far easier to handle, and I think it suits the backhand well.
I'd recommend using it on the backhand to take advantage of how manageable it is.
Hope this helps.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

49g at max thickness. Mainly used it on backhand.
- Easy to get good spin and power even with a relatively light touch!
- Usability somewhere between Tenergy and V>15.
- The topsheet is strong, making countering easy!
An opponent told me it felt like it had power on par with Dignics 05. Personally, I felt like my drives got power less from spin amount and more from becoming gyro-like or knuckle-like shots.
The feel on impact reminded me of V>15 Extra in some ways, and I felt that unless you let the ball sink in first before applying spin, you don't get much spin and the arc tends to be weak. On the other hand, even though it has the same hardness as V>15, I felt Super Ventus was easier to use because the ball sinks in better. Both smashes and drives are easy to pull off, so I think it's a rubber for intermediate to advanced players. If you want to eventually get used to German rubbers, especially ones with a hard topsheet like V>15, I think mastering Super Ventus first would make that transition easier than going through Rozena.
Hope this helps as a reference.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

FL grip, 88g.
I haven't disassembled it to check, but I'd guess the weight is concentrated near the grip, making it a handle-heavy blade.
The grip has some roundness to it, and in terms of weight balance, it feels more like the Zhang Jike model than the Timo Boll model.
It's extremely easy to generate spin, and I could feel the ball holding on the backhand too - an extremely easy blade to handle overall.
That said, the thickness or the outer ply seems to differ from something like the Zhang Jike ALC, so it's harder to feel the hardness/stiffness, and you could call it more of an intermediate-level model.
It feels like a blade designed to pair well with XIOM rubbers, while some Butterfly rubbers might not suit it as well.
Overall, the value for money is great too - a blade that left a very good impression.
If I'd come across this sooner, I think I would have been using it - the high stability and ball-holding feel that make up for a lack of raw power were really appealing.

Max thickness, 49g. Used mainly on the backhand.
- It's just really easy to get the ball on the table!
- Speed drives are easy to hit!
- The balance is good, for better or worse!
As far as rubber type goes, the feel and ball release reminded me more of Tenergy 80 than Tenergy 05. It's very easy to handle, mistakes went down, and overall I got the impression of high consistency. Maybe because of a slight mismatch with my blade, the drive spin was weaker than I expected, and I tended to overshoot more on speed drives. I think it suits a more patient, grinding style better than an aggressive one.
Yasaka rubbers tend to feel heavy, or feel heavier than they are, so I felt it paired better with wood or inner-carbon blades than outer-carbon ones. At the very least, it felt a bit too lively on outer ZLC-type blades.
You definitely get plenty of spin, and if you handle it well you can get close to Tenergy levels, but generating that spin takes power and technique. Keeping the spin up through consecutive strokes felt like it takes a lot of practice.
Hope this helps!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

53g on the hardness gauge (compared to Tenergy 05): sheet side 45.4 (44.6), sponge side 44.6 (43.3)
- Easy to handle without feeling like 52.5°, plus high spin performance!
- The sheet's pips are thick, giving a stronger grip feel than R53!
- Pairs well with wood blades and inner-carbon blades!
The sheet grips the ball well, and aside from the weight, it felt like a rubber similar to Tenergy 05 or Tenergy 19. Since it's Tenergy-like, countering is a bit tricky.
Even a low-level backhand loop drive got the ball to fly long thanks to the high spin performance. Compared to post-Tenergy tension rubbers like R53 and MX-D — where R53 and MX-D have fine pips that release the ball quickly — DNA Pro XH's sheet has thicker pips, and its strong grip stands out. Because of that, it feels a bit less flashy, and I felt the drive's trajectory was a bit more subdued in terms of how much it extends after landing on the opponent's side. Even estimating conservatively, the performance is on par with Tenergy, and above all the good sense of the ball settling on the table left a good impression — I think it's a solid choice. Given how understated its character is relative to its slightly heavy weight, pairing it with countermeasures (a blade with a smaller head, or gluing it further from the handle) should let the rubber show its full potential!
