Currently using this on my backhand.
The name is a bit confusing, but this rubber actually has the same sponge hardness as the Europe version, not the Asia version.
So I'm going to review it in comparison with Vega Europe.First, when hitting flat, the ball comes out higher than with Europe. Because of that, I felt that Europe is intuitively easier to hit flat or block with. Well, since this one's soft, once you get used to it, it's also pretty easy to use in that department.
When you put topspin on it, the tendency to rise upward works in your favor — the ball grips more, so even with a slightly closed racket angle, the ball still comes out in the direction of your swing, which makes it easier to play a more modern style of table tennis.
That said, with a really strong impact, the ball does drop off, of course (especially on the forehand).
Compared to Vega Europe, pushes and stops don't float up as easily. It's probably more sensitive to spin than Europe.To sum up, I think this is a good-value rubber for beginners and intermediates, easy to recommend to anyone who wants a rubber that's easy to sink the ball into but wishes it had a bit more grip. In terms of feel, it's like a "Vega Europe Spin."

Currently using this on my forehand.
The first thing that stands out is the high arc — if you swing properly with about 70-80% spin, the ball lands in the table pretty reliably.On the flip side, since it's hard and doesn't grip the ball much, meeting-type shots are difficult, and if your drives lean toward more of a glancing contact, the ball won't sink in enough unless your impact is strong, so it tends to fly straight and miss. Because of that, I think this rubber needs an advanced player or better to bring out its full performance, especially on the backhand.
On the forehand, though, even an intermediate player like me who relies a lot on spin-oriented drives can hit consistently thanks to the high arc, so while one-shot kill drives are hard, it felt easy to play a grinding style that wins points through consistency.
Overall, I'd say this is a rubber for intermediate players who use a lot of spin-oriented strokes on the forehand, or for advanced players who hit with strong impact.
