Used MAX thickness on the forehand of a Clipper Wood (7-ply wood blade).
It's on the harder side, but the feel is softer than the listed hardness suggests.
I think anyone with a basic drive swing can handle it, but with an outer blade you'd probably need both technique and power.
The top sheet grips the ball well, and loops get plenty of spin.
Also, even when you sink the ball into the sponge, it still draws a stable arc and produces power, so the balance is excellent.
Loops, hard hits, hitting backspin, the short game — almost everything is easy to do.
The only thing that might take some getting used to is cutting serves.
The rubber surface seems to absorb moisture easily(?), so it might be a little weak against sweat and humidity.
The list price is quite high, but you can get it for around 5,000 yen through online retailers, so at this price for this performance, I'd like to keep using it for a while.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Used on the backhand side of a shakehand blade.
It feels softer than other rubbers of the same hardness rating (47.5°).
When smashing or driving, you do feel some energy loss, but the technique itself is easy to execute.
The short game is easy too, and thanks to a good topsheet, loop drives spin well despite the softness.
For blocks and counters, if you try to hold the ball down by brushing from above, it sinks in on its own and overshoots, so it felt better suited to letting the ball sink in and holding it, or hitting back through it.
I wasn't originally a fan of soft rubbers, but setting aside personal preference about the soft feel on the ball, it's easy to handle overall, and it's the kind of rubber that makes me want to keep using it on my backhand for a while.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
