I put thick on the backhand of a Hina Hayata H2.
First off, it can be summed up in one word: easy to use.
There are a lot of reviews saying it flies flat, and since I was switching over from MK I was a little worried about the weight, but since I put it on an inner-carbon blade, every technique felt easy to pull off.
Rather than "speed," the impression is more that it "flies" — it feels like you get out exactly what you put into the swing.
The spin isn't inferior to the newest rubbers and reaches a solid level. That said, it's not the kind of jaw-dropping spin you get from Tenergy, so I think this also depends on the player's skill.
As far as tension rubbers go, control is quite easy to manage. On paper the hardness is around 47.5, but because it pairs a soft sheet with a firm sponge, it's easy to place the ball exactly where you're aiming, and easy to adjust.
I was originally looking for a replacement for the Q5 I used to use, and since the sheet is soft with a similar hitting feel, I'm giving it an overall 9 out of 10.
To sum up, I'd recommend it for players who want to play with good balance while trusting their own strength, and for players who prioritize value for money.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I put thick sponge on the forehand side of my Hina Hayata H2 and hit with it.
As the title says, the feel was close to Tenergy 05. You don't feel the ball sink into the sponge much, but because the sheet is firm, you can still get plenty of spin and powerful shots.
However, the feel is quite different from the old Q series, so if you're looking for the hard feel and spin performance of the Q4 or Q5, you might not be satisfied.
The speed is just a bit more than Tenergy 05, and it stays within a controllable range, so the control is great too.
For the short game it's about as easy to use as other rubbers in the same hardness range — no particular trouble whether you're grazing the ball with the sheet or sinking it into the sponge.
In short, this is a rubber I'd recommend to people looking for Tenergy 05-like spin performance and value for money, or players in the mid-hardness range who want a strong sheet.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is basically a comparison with the Innerforce ZLC I used before.
The speed still stays within the range of an inner blade, but it feels rather hard, more like an outer blade. It's easier to generate speed than the Innerforce ZLC, and it doesn't hold the ball too much in a strange way, so flick-type snapping techniques felt relatively easy to do.
Since the ball leaves the blade faster than the Innerforce ZLC, all-out spin loop drives are a bit harder to pull off, but I think it still has the level of spin you'd expect from an inner blade.
Because it's an inner blade, control is easier than with an outer blade, and it's easy to place shots where you're aiming. As mentioned, since it's easier to generate speed than the Innerforce ZLC, depending on the rubber you use, you may notice more overhit misses. So I'd recommend adjusting through your choice of rubber.
The feel still has that inner-blade vibration in your hand, so I don't think people switching from one inner blade to another, like me, will feel much sense of unfamiliarity.
At 33,000 yen it's an expensive blade, but with ball-holding that sits between outer and inner blades, I'd recommend it to players who want power out of an inner blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I put the 2.0 thickness on the backhand of a Hina Hayata H2 and hit with it.
It's listed as 48 degrees, but when I actually hit with it, the feel was only slightly harder than medium hardness, and it felt soft. Even though it feels soft, light hits don't produce much speed, and even hard hits don't come out that fast, so honestly, trying to blow the ball past someone in one shot is tough.
That said, the sheet has a solid grip on the ball, so despite the softness it still puts on good spin, which makes it easy to build into rallies. Also, since it's lightweight, the maneuverability is great, so backhand counters and blocks are very easy — I really like that about it.
Because the sheet grips well and sends the ball upward, hitting against backspin was very easy, but against topspin I sometimes had to aim a bit higher or the ball would go long.
Overall, I'd recommend this to rally-style players who want balance while still caring about the feel of the ball.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
