  Vega Asia

  

  The top sheet is soft and the sponge is a bit hard, so you get a decent ball whether you hit it softly or with a strong impact.

  You won't be overwhelming opponents with loop spin or blasting through with sheer power, but beginner-to-intermediate players — who this rubber is aimed at — can't really pull off that kind of play in a match anyway. (Not looking down on anyone — everyone starts out that way.)
  Rather than getting pushed around by a high-performance rubber, using one that matches your level lets you play with more confidence in matches, helps you develop your own feel for hitting, and doesn't cost much either — it's all upside.

  There's nothing in particular that's hard to do with it, and the performance is well-balanced with a slight lean toward speed.
  It's easy to put spin on, the ball doesn't go flat even with a slow swing, and the control is passable.
  I can easily recommend this as a second tension rubber.
  One thing to watch out for though: the top sheet is quite fragile and chips easily.

  トップシートが柔らかくスポンジがやや硬いため、弱いインパクトでも強く当ててもそれなりに良いボールが出ます。

  ループの回転量で圧倒する、威力あるボールで一発で打ち抜くといったプレーはできませんが、このラバーのターゲットである初中級者は試合でそんなプレーはできません。（見下しているわけではなく、誰だって初めはそういうものです。）
  高性能なラバーを使って振り回されるよりは、レベルにあったラバーを使うほうが試合で安心できますし、自分で打つ感覚を養える、費用も掛からないと、良いことづくめです。

  やりにくい技術も特になく、ややスピードよりのバランスの良い性能をしています。
  回転もかけやすくスイングスピードが遅くても棒球は出ず、コントロールも及第点。
  2枚目のテンションラバーに十分お勧めできます。
  ただ、トップシートが非常にもろく欠けやすいので注意が必要です。

  HEXER GRIP

  

  True to its "Grip" name, the confidence it gives you when looping against backspin is incredible.
  As long as your swing isn't off, pretty much any loop goes in.
  The speed is about average for a tension rubber in this price range.
  There's nothing in the short game that's particularly hard to do, and I can't really point to a weakness.
  It's not suited for a style of play built around firing off drives one after another from away from the table, but it has outstanding consistency, so I can confidently recommend it to intermediate players. Personally, it's the best value-for-money rubber out there.
  Another plus is that if you ever want more power, you can move up to Power Grip without any awkward adjustment.
  Even factoring in its somewhat short lifespan, this is my top pick in this price and hardness range.

  グリップの名を冠しているだけあって、下回転打ちのときの信頼感が半端ないです。
  間違ったスイングをしなければループはなんでも入ってくれます。
  スピードはこの価格帯のテンションラバーの中では並程度です。
  台上技術も特にやりづらいものはなく、これといった弱点はないです。
  後陣からバシバシドライブを打つようなプレーには向いていませんが、抜群の安定感があるので中級者には自信をもってお勧めできるラバーです。個人的コスパ最強ラバー。
  不満が出てきたらパワーグリップのほうに違和感なく移行できるのもポイントです。
  やや短めの寿命を考慮しても、この価格帯・硬度帯で最もお勧めです。

  Evolution EL-S

  

  I put the 1.9 thickness on my backhand.
  This is a comparison with Hexer Grip (1.9) on my forehand.
  - Speed: Evo ≈ Hexer — didn't feel much difference.
  - Spin: Evo ≥ Hexer — for flat hits, the Evo puts on more. Personally I prefer looping by using the sheet's grip, so the Hexer felt easier to spin with, but the max spin ceiling goes to the Evo.
  - Ease of generating spin: as above, depends on your stroke.
  - Control: Evo ≤ Hexer — barely any difference; this rating is partly just because I personally like the Hexer.
  - Grip on the ball: Evo < Hexer — the Evo isn't weak at all either, so it's not something I notice (the Hexer is just that strong).
  - Durability: Evo >> Hexer — I'm glad the Evo series lasts a long time. The Hexer wears out faster.

  Overall, for better or worse, it's performance that matches the price. You won't go badly wrong using it.
  It doesn't produce that much distance, so I'd recommend it for the backhand of a close-to-the-table drive style.

  バックに1.9を貼りました。
  フォアのヘキサーグリップ(1.9)との比較です。
  ・スピード　　エボ≒ヘキ　　あまり差は感じられなかった
  ・回転　　　　エボ≧ヘキ　　当て打ちならエボのほうがかかる。個人的にはシートのグリップ力を生かしてループをかけるのが好みなのでヘキサーのほうが掛けやすく感じたがMax値はエボに軍配。
  ・回転の掛けやすさ　　上述の通り打ち方による
  ・コントロール　　エボ≦ヘキ　　ほぼ差はない。個人的にヘキサーが好きなのもありこの評価
  ・グリップ力　　エボ＜ヘキ　　エボも全く弱くないので気にならない。（ヘキサーが強いだけ）
  ・寿命　　エボ>>ヘキ　　エボシリーズは寿命が長いのがうれしい。ヘキサーは短め

  総合的にみると良くも悪くも値段に見合った性能という感じ。使って大失敗することはない。
  飛距離はそんなにでないので前陣ドライブ型のバックにおすすめ。

  FLYATT Carbon

  

  I was using this blade when I first started playing table tennis.
  The fast ball release, the higher-pitched "poko-poko" hitting sound, the distinctive feel — it's carbon through and through.
  (Which makes sense, since even though it's ultra-thin carbon, the carbon is on the outer layer.)
  That said, it never flies uncontrollably far, and it does still take spin.
  In terms of stability and ease of control, it holds its own against any regular wood blade out there.
  The initial speed is fast and the blade is light, so it's a perfect fit for players who attack close to the table.
  I think it's a good blade for beginners to learn what carbon blades are about.

  卓球を始めたときにこのラケットを使っていました。
  球離れの速さ、ポコポコという高めの打球音、独特の打球感などはカーボンラケットそのものです。
  （極薄カーボンとはいえ、アウターにカーボンが搭載されているので当然といえば当然ですが。）
  ですが、決して飛びすぎて暴発する、回転がかからないことはないです。
  安定感、コントロールのしやすさの面でみれば、そこらへんの木材ラケットに引けを取りません。
  初速が早く、軽いラケットなので前陣で攻めていく方にピッタリです。
  初心者がカーボンラケットについて学ぶにはよいラケットだと思います。
