    User review

    I used the Max, 46.2g.

    As the evolution of the promising newcomer Swat Spin, it seems both the sponge hardness and the sheet construction have changed.
    With the increased hardness, it can withstand fairly strong impacts, and I'd say the sheet is also on the stronger side.

    Its defining traits are stability and an "auto" feel, while ball power and spin are just okay.
    The sponge quality is still a bit iffy, which is my one complaint — hit it too flat and the ball can suddenly drop — but for the price, the performance is more than solid.
    Honestly, it's a performance that's neither great nor bad...

    Since there are a lot of rival rubbers out there, I can't recommend it as strongly as Swat Spin, but it's cheap, so it might be worth trying once.

    I used the MAX version at 45.3g.

    It's an easy-to-use rubber with a very soft topsheet and sponge.
    Even before gluing it on, the sheet was already curling slightly from the strong tension, and the raised pips hint at a short lifespan,
    but for the performance, the price is cheap - it's been a while since a rubber this recommendable as a first choice came along.

    Unusually for a rubber of this hardness, the ball doesn't drop off easily against topspin.
    The sponge feels about what you'd expect for the price, so it seems better to grip the ball with the sheet rather than just meeting it flat.

    If you prioritize the sponge, Rozena; if you prioritize the sheet, this one, I'd say.

    I used the FL, 89.8g. With max thickness rubber on both sides, it comes to 182.1g.

    The blade thickness is 6.5mm, which is standard for a 7-ply, but the standout feature is the grip, which is almost identical to the Viscaria's.
    It's a bit thick, but the grip face is flat so it doesn't wobble in your hand during quick direction changes, which makes it easy to bring the backhand face around.

    It has plenty of bounce, but personally I'm bothered by the feel and the balance point. The feel is close to the SK7, it has a cheap, wood-like sensation.
    The balance is quite head-heavy too, it felt about as heavy as a 190g Innerforce ALC. It's noticeably heavier than a 184g Revoldia.

    If you're after a 7-ply with a thicker grip it might be worth trying, but whether it's really worth the performance and value at over 10,000 yen retail is questionable.

    I used the Max version. Including the sheet, it was 73.2g before cutting and about 50g after cutting.

    Even among spin-oriented tension rubbers, this has intense grip, and I felt the high arc and ease of generating spin were both better than Dignics 05.
    The feel also produces that high-pitched sound typical of a hard rubber, but surprisingly it doesn't feel as hard as the sponge hardness rating would suggest.

    Shots come out at a steep upward angle, so they almost never drop into the net, but the ball doesn't travel as far as you'd expect, so being conscious of spin and swinging forward is essential.

    Of all the rubbers I've used, this is by far the best in terms of receive handling and how easily you can put spin on serves.
    Those two points feel close to Glayzer 09C, which is the part that gave me a slightly-tacky impression.

    Since I started using it, my driving mistakes have visibly dropped, and it left me wanting to try the XH version once I get more used to it — a great rubber.

    I used the max thickness version. Before cutting it was 63.9g, after cutting 48.5g.

    For a 45° hardness rubber, it flies pretty far, and I feel the sheet is slightly harder than the sponge hardness would suggest.
    The good points are that the sheet grip and how well the ball sinks into the sponge are both good, so you can go for both sheet shots and flat hits.
    Personally it feels like a proper evolution of Vega Europe.

    If you're going to use it, I'd assume it's as a 2nd rubber or later, but the sheet's sensitivity might be a bit of a hurdle for beginners.
    Also, since the weight is on the heavier side too, if you factor that in, it might be worth skipping straight to the G-1 thickness for the sake of manageability.

    For the price, getting to experience such a serious, proper feel might be the biggest advantage.
