I've repurchased this many times.
To cut to the conclusion, it's the best rubber in this price range. Rozena and Vega are its main rivals, but this one is a couple of levels ahead in spin and grip.
As for speed, Rozena is easier to generate speed with, while this one (Hexer Grip) has the higher ceiling.
Compared to the Vega series, I felt it comes out on top overall against everything except Vega X (setting aside niche ones like Def or China).
Even against Vega X, it beats it on spin, though I'd give the edge to Vega X on raw power.
The ball sinks in easily, the grip on the ball is strong, and it makes a solid, satisfying sound, so I can't really find a real weakness.
You can also choose from four hardness options, which is nice because you can pick based on whether you want to prioritize maximum performance or ease of use.For beginner to intermediate players, I think using the Hexer series instead of the Rasanter R series would reduce mistakes and make it easier to win.

Compared to more recent rubbers, the trajectory is a bit flatter and it bounces quite a bit. It does have that speed-oriented tension-rubber feel.
That said, it's definitely not lacking in spin — even a thin contact gets a solid response, so you can score points off serves and loops too.
The surface felt a bit on the soft side, while the sponge felt a bit on the hard side.
Sink the ball in and hit it, and it comes out with just the right arc; brush it, and it ignores half the opponent's spin and comes down in a high arcing trajectory — nothing to complain about there.
It flies quite far, so it'd probably pair better with a blade that doesn't bounce too much on its own.Its performance sits right around the middle of today's tension rubbers, so if you're not sure what to pick, you could just go with the mindset of "this one will do."

I'd recommend this for people who normally use an inexpensive soft tension rubber like Vega Europe and want to move up a level without changing the hardness.
Compared to Vega Europe, my impression is that average speed goes up about one notch, max speed goes up about two notches, and spin goes up about one notch.
The trajectory feels more like it shoots forward rather than up, so it's especially good for hitting/meeting the ball and for topspin drives where you drive through the ball.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

This is a blade that adds a solid, well-centered feel and extra carry to the ball on top of a wood blade base.
On light shots it feels just like the ball-holding of pure wood with a little extra speed added, and when you hit firmly from mid-distance it clearly flies more effortlessly than wood, so it feels great to play with.
Honestly, it's good enough that I find myself thinking it might be an upgrade over almost any wood blade.The feel isn't hard, and it isn't too soft either, so I don't think it's picky about which rubber you put on it.
The thickness is just right too — you can brush the ball fine, sink it in and it flies exactly where you want, and meeting it flat is easy too, so it really has no weakness worth mentioning.For players who've been playing for three-plus years and have settled into a stable technique but haven't tried a special-material blade yet, I can confidently recommend this to absolutely anyone.
Of course it would also suit players who tried carbon blades and felt they couldn't handle them.
The price is also on the cheaper side compared to other special-material blades, so please do give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Not many people seem to use this rubber, but I think its performance is on the higher end for its price range.
The first thing I noticed was the strength of the sheet — it grips the ball about as well as rubbers in the 5000–6000 yen list-price class.
It's on the softer side, but the spin is good too, and even when you catch the ball thinly it doesn't slip despite its hardness, which is reassuring. When I drop my contact point to keep the rally going, I often miss because the shot doesn't arc enough, but with this rubber the ball doesn't fly too far and the grip is strong, so my misses dropped a lot.
I think this rubber is a great match for beginner-to-intermediate players whose game is mostly about adding spin to keep rallies going.
If your impact is on the lighter side, it might work fine on the forehand too.
The one downside is that, being a Mizuno rubber, production isn't very consistent, so it's hard to find in shops...Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
