  This is a sideways-pip short pips rubber that still lets you generate spin fairly easily even though it's short pips.
  If your opponent uses this against you, the ball comes off fast right from the start, which is typical of short pips and can catch you off guard, but their smashes also pick up a bit of spin, so the resulting ball is actually fairly easy to block once you get a racket on it.
  That said, I think the strong points of this rubber are its control and the fact that it's a spin-friendly short pips rubber, so it's a bit of a trade-off.
  If you hit a light topspin drive with it, you can generate enough spin to send your opponent's return flying off the table, so it spins more than a mediocre inverted rubber would. It definitely generated more spin than Mark V.
  Not many players use short pips these days, so even though the shots that come off it are closer to what you'd get from inverted rubber, I think it can still be quite effective as a surprise factor.
  Since it's easy to control, I think it's also a good option if you're switching over from inverted rubber.

  表でも回転の掛けやすい横目の表ラバーになります。
  このラバーを相手に使われた場合は表特有の初速が速いボールが飛んでくるためビックリはしますが、スマッシュに回転も少しかかってしまうため当てれば返るブロックしやすいボールが飛んできます。
  ただ、このラバーの良いところはコントロールのしやすさと回転のかかる表ラバーというところだと思うので一長一短ではあるかと思います。
  ちょりドラをすれば相手が吹っ飛ばしてくれるくらいは回転がかけられるので、へたな裏ラバーよりも回転はかかります。マークVよりは間違いなく回転がかかりました。
  最近では表ラバーを使う選手が少ないので、裏ラバーに近い打球が飛んでくるとはいえ結構効果があるラバーではないかと思います。
  コントロールしやすいので、裏ラバーからの転向で使うのもありではないかと思います。

  Rakza 7

  

  I normally use Vega Asia on a 5-ply wood blade.
  With that as my baseline, my impression is that I'd heard this was soft, but it was harder than I expected.
  I've also hit with Rakza 7 Soft, and you should really think of them as completely different rubbers.

  It has more speed than Rakza 7 Soft, but the spin performance is a bit lackluster and the trajectory is relatively flat, so it's a little harder to control.
  My main style is loop-drive-focused, spin-heavy table tennis, but with this rubber, even when I put in enough spin that with Vega it would send opponents flying off the table, they just return it normally — that's how mediocre the spin is.

  Since this rubber gets such good reviews, maybe it's better suited for people who mainly play speed drives?
  At the very least, for someone who plays spin-heavy table tennis, Vega Asia or Vega Europe had better spin and control performance.

  普段は5枚合板にヴェガアジアを貼っています。
  それを踏まえての感想ですが、柔らかいと聞いていましたが思ったよりも硬かったです。
  またラクザ7ソフトも打ったことがありますが、全くの別物と思った方が良いです。

  ラクザ7ソフトよりもスピードは出ますが、回転性能が微妙なことと比較的まっすぐに飛んでいくためコントロールをするのは少しだけ難しいです。
  私はループドライブ主体のチョリチョリ卓球をメインにしていますが、ヴェガでは吹っ飛ばしてくれるくらい回転を掛けたつもりでも普通に返されるくらいには回転が微妙です。

  これだけ評価が良いラバーなので、もしかしたらスピードドライブ主体の人には良いのかも？しれないです。
  少なくともチョリチョリ卓球をする人ならヴェガアジア、ヴェガヨーロッパの方が回転もコントロール性能も良かったです。

  V>15 STIFF

  

  I couldn't handle V>15 Extra, so I switched to V>15 Stiff.
  It's easier to get a good arc with than V>15 Extra, and my drives are more stable.

  Using it, there wasn't anything that stood out as amazing, but there wasn't anything that felt particularly bad either.

  V＞15 Extraが扱いきれなかったためV＞15 Stiffを使用しました。
  V＞15 Extraよりも弧線を描きやすくドライブが安定します。

  使用していてこれと言って突出して凄かったと感じるところも無ければ、これと言って悪かったと感じるところも無かったです。

  MARK V HPS

  

  To get straight to the conclusion, in today's table tennis with the 40mm plastic ball, I felt this wasn't a rubber you really need to bother using.
  Mark V itself is a rubber I loved and used a lot back in the celluloid-ball era, and it's still a rubber I'm very fond of.

  I also bought and test-hit the regular Mark V at the same time - this one has more bounce than the regular Mark V, but of course, compared to other tension rubbers, it doesn't have much bounce at all.
  As for spin performance, it only produces the kind of spin that's just easy for the opponent to block, so scoring points through spin alone is basically impossible unless the opponent is weak.
  It might be possible to punch through with a fast drive, but since it doesn't have as much bounce as tension rubber, you end up thinking, wouldn't it be better to just use a tension rubber with good control instead?

  I can recommend it for beginners to develop a feel for putting spin on the ball themselves and aiming for specific courses, but for someone who wants to actually win and take titles at tournaments, there are now higher-performance rubbers available at the same price point, so I'd recommend those instead.

  結論から書くと40mmプラボールに変わっている卓球では、わざわざ使う必要は無いと感じたラバーでした。
  マークV自体はセルボール時代に好きでよく使っていたラバーですし、大好きなラバーではあります。

  通常のマークVも同時に購入して試打していますが、マークVよりは弾みますが他のテンションラバーに比べたら当たり前ですが弾みません。
  回転性能も相手がちょうどブロックしやすい回転しかかからないため、回転で点を取るには相手が弱い場合でないとほぼ無理です。
  スピードドライブで打ちぬくことは可能かもしれませんが、テンションラバーよりは弾まないので、それならコントロール性能の良いテンションラバーを使えばよくないか？となります。

  初心者が自分で回転をかける感覚やコースを狙う感覚を身に着ける分にはおすすめできますが、大会で優勝するぞみたいな勝ちに繋げたい人には、同じ価格帯でもより高性能なラバーが今は販売されているのでそちらをお勧めします。

  DIGNICS 05

  

  This is switching over from a 5-ply blade with Vega Asia mounted.
  My first reaction was basically "this feels like cheating."

  1. The ease of countering is next level. If you swing through forward, pretty much every ball goes in. With Vega Asia I used to judge my opponent's drive spin and pick an angle to swing at to make sure it landed, but with this you don't need to. Even a rough guess and it goes in. Countering with a soft rubber was, I'd say, three times harder.

  2. Even a light, loose drive picks up crazy spin. The chances of it clearly blowing past my opponent went way up. In particular, balls I just barely got back in while off balance would change direction after the bounce and make my opponent miss more often.

  3. Obviously, drives are fast.

  4. Stops are easy to do. With Vega Asia, stops tended to float and often popped up off the first bounce, but with Dignics low stops are easy. If anything, unlike a soft rubber, the ball flies low, so if you touch it with the same feel as before it goes straight into the net — that part definitely needs practice.

  This is without a doubt a good rubber. Coming from Vega Asia, I have to say it's basically cheating lol
  I didn't expect the difference in rubber performance to be this big.

  5枚合板ヴェガアジアからの変更になります。
  最初に感じたのは「ズルだろこれ」といった感想です。

  1.カウンターのしやすさが半端ないです。前に振り切れば大抵のボールは入ります。ヴェガアジア使用時は相手のドライブの回転量を判断してこの角度で振れば入ると判断して打っていましたがその必要がありません。大雑把な判断で入ります。柔らかいラバーでのカウンターの方が3倍は難しかったと思います。

  2.チョリドラがめちゃ回転かかります。明らかにぶっ飛ばしてくれる確率が上がりました。特に態勢が崩れて入れただけのボールがバウンド後に変化して相手がミスしてくれることが増えました。

  3.当たり前ですがドライブは速いです。

  4.ストップがしやすいです。ヴェガアジアはストップが浮きやすく1バウンドで出てしまうことが多々ありましたが、ディグニクスだと低いストップがしやすいです。むしろ柔らかいラバーとは違い低く飛んでいくので、同じ感覚で触るとネット直行するのでそこは練習必須ですが。

  間違いなく良いラバーです。ヴェガアジアを使っていた私に言わせるとズルですね笑
  ここまでラバー性能が違うとは思っていませんでした。
