This rubber is super soft.
The control is outstanding, making it perfect for learning new techniques.
It generates a good amount of spin, but the trade-off is that it's a bit slower.
I think it's great as your first rubber.
If you're just starting table tennis, definitely give this a try!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I switched to the Green 2.0.
Green looks awesome!
I used to use the UM, but even the 2.0 really flies.
Even the 1.7 flies quite a lot, so it's not suited to players who want to play the short game close to the table. I think it suits people who want intense rallies from mid-to-far distance, or who want to blast the third ball.
As for spin, if you brush it thin you can produce a ball with about as much spin as TENERGY 05. But despite having that much spin, it also carries a lot of speed and drives deep into the opponent's court.
Smashes and speed drives also give you that signature Rasant explosive-speed ball with its own quirky character.
That said, as others have said too, the short game flies too much and is hard to control...
Using it on the backhand is basically a safe bet.
In my case I have an unusual rubber on my backhand, so I used this on forehand, but if you don't swing through firmly, the ball flies before you get spin on it and leads to net misses, so it's safer to get a feel for the grip first with something like Rozena or the R42.
It's not the type that appeals to everyone, but it's an extremely high-spec rubber that lets you play at a high level on both forehand and backhand, so please do give it a try!!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is G-1, which you see a lot at tournaments. I borrowed a senior teammate's racket to try it out.
The first thing I noticed was that even though it draws a nice clean arc, the ball still carries speed. It's a rubber that keeps speed up even when you put spin on it.
It has enough power and spin to hold your own in rallies even from away from the table, while also being appealing for how easy the short game is.
The one thing that concerns me, though, is the weight. Weight is common with rubbers like this, but G-1 feels especially heavy. It's fine if you have strong arms, but it might be a bit heavy for junior players.
Still, it's a rubber with no real quirks, so how about it as a step up from something like Rozena?Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I used this alongside Flextra.
Like Flextra, it's an easy-to-control rubber with good bounce.
It feels like Flextra as a base, with control dialed down a bit in exchange for boosted spin and speed.
That doesn't mean it's only a second rubber though — I think it works fine as a first rubber too.
It's a somewhat minor rubber, but it has the performance needed to level up, so why not give it a try?Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is more for beginner to intermediate players.
It feels like a traditional control-oriented rubber with speed added on top.
The short game is easy to play, and it suits a style of hitting close to the table.
The trajectory is straight, and it's hard to put spin on.
For topspin drives, you can produce nasty, fast balls that skim just over the net.
I said it's for beginners, but I think it'll feel a bit hard to handle right when you're starting out, so I'd recommend it more as a second rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
