I put this on both sides of my Carbonade 45 PAC.
I make a conscious effort to close the racket angle and "swing forward."
If you stick to that, you get insanely spinny balls landing deep on the table, whether you're playing against backspin or topspin!
Serves are also really easy to produce and come out super sharp.
Pushes are easy too.
The hardness is about 50 degrees on the German scale, so it's softer and easier to handle than 09C or Hybrid K3 - perfect if you found either of those rubbers hard to use.
It showed this much potential even without any tackiness added yet, so once you build up tack with the included tacky sheet, it'll turn into an even bigger monster rubber!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is the poster child for a "manual" rubber.
It's a rubber from a generation (or two) ago,
but the fact it's still selling well is proof it's a classic.
Both the sheet and sponge have a moderate hardness, so you get spin in proportion to how hard you swing.
Because it puts spin first, the speed isn't huge, but if you put it on a lively blade you can get noticeably more speed out of it.
Top players still use it too, so if you're not sure which rubber to pick, you can't go wrong buying this one.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Even though it's called "Soft," it's actually not all that soft, so you can use it normally on the forehand too.
If you're using a blade with special materials, it gives a good balance that matches any playing style.
Since there's a range of weights, being able to pick one that suits you is one of its advantages ^ ^Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is my favorite XIOM rubber.
It's been out for several years now, but it still boasts performance that holds its own against the latest rubbers.
It's classified more as a "speed" rubber, but its spin performance is also insanely high.
Personally, I actually like this one more than the higher-tier "Omega" series.
XIOM rubbers have gone up in price recently, but being able to get this for around 4,000 yen is still a big strength.
Also, among all of XIOM's rubbers, this one is by far the lightest, so if you're not sure which one to pick, I'd recommend starting with this one ^ ^Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This felt completely different from anything I've used before, like a whole new sensation.
People seem to think of it as an upgraded V15, but honestly it's not the same thing.
As for spin, V20 felt "just slightly" ahead, but in every other category this one comes out on top.
It performs better with a "hit into it" stroke than a "brush" stroke.
I play with a Chinese penhold grip, so my forehand naturally ends up being more of a hitting stroke because of how I hold the blade, which suited this rubber perfectly.
I've been playing table tennis for almost 30 years now, and I've finally found the forehand rubber I was looking for.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
