  Vega Asia hybrid

  

  I'd say its main weapons are speed and power. Flat hitting, kind of like with short pips, is really easy to do, and it's easy to send your opponent's blocks long.
  Thanks to the light tackiness, the ball doesn't drop off easily (though every once in a while it does, maybe from an incomplete hit), and it seems to rein in the flight distance a bit — even at 50° sponge hardness, the ball still lands within the table pretty reliably.
  It's easy enough to put spin on, though not crazy amounts, but if you throw in an occasional loop or spin-focused drive while attacking with flat hits, you can generate enough spin to bait your opponent into overhitting.
  On serves and receives, with the 50° sponge and light tackiness, when I tried short serves I kept putting a lot of spin on them but they didn't carry enough and I got a bunch of net-in serves. Seems like it takes some getting used to. Stops are easy too, taking advantage of the lack of carry, but since the spin isn't that strong, watch out — if the ball pops up it's easy for your opponent to flick it.
  You really need a firm impact or it gets tough, but I think it's worth trying for early-to-intermediate players who love flat hitting and smashing.

  主戦武器はスピード、威力かと思います。表ソフトのようなフラット打ちがかなりやりやすく、相手ブロックをオーバーさせやすいです。
  微粘着によってボールが落ちにくくなっているのと（たまにインパクト不足なのか落ちることもある）、少し飛距離を抑えてくれているのか、スポンジ硬度50度だけど飛距離も台にしっかり収まる範囲。
  回転はかけやすいとは言えメチャクチャかかるという訳でもありませんが、フラット打ちで攻めてる所にたまにループや回転に比重を置いたドライブをするとオーバーミスも狙えるくらいはかけられます。
  サーブ、レシーブはスポンジ硬度50度+微粘着でショートサーブしようとすると、けっこう回転かけて飛ばそうとしても飛ばなすぎてネットイン連発しました。慣れが必要そう。ストップも飛ばなすぎるのを利用してやりやすいですが、回転がそこまでかからない分、浮いたらフリックされやすいのが要注意。
  インパクト強くしないとやはりキツイですけど、フラット打ち、スマッシュ大好きな初中級者は一度使ってみる価値ありだと思います。

  akkadi K max (collar rubber)

  

  Feels like an unfinished-bottom Chinese-style tacky tension rubber - the sponge is quite hard (Chinese hardness 40, maybe around German 50?), and the surface is a bit tackier than a slightly tacky rubber.

  For my own particular reasons I only use it on the backhand, and with the pure 5-ply wood blade I use, speed drives and power drives don't have much power behind them - I'd rate the speed around 6 for that. But for meet hits and smashes, it comes out fast enough to blow right past the opponent untouched.

  For hitting against backspin, using the slightly tacky sheet to wait on the ball a bit makes it easy to stay stable, and you can put solid spin on loops or hit it knuckleball-style, so you can vary the spin and ball quality.
  Also, thanks to the tackiness, even a solid push from me tends to stay short, landing with two bounces on the table or dropping the contact point to make the opponent hit up. Taking advantage of this lack of bounce also makes regular blocks and chop-blocks easy to do.

  It has a distinctive feel that's hard to recommend to everyone, but ever since I put this rubber on, I went from a sub-50% win rate in singles league matches to suddenly winning the championship, and I started beating a teammate I could never beat before. It's a strange rubber.

  未打底の中国系粘着テンションといった感じでスポンジがかなり硬め（中国硬度40度、ドイツ硬度で50度クラス？）で表面は微粘着よりちょっと粘着強めな感じ。

  個人的な特殊な事情でバックのみですが、スピードドライブやパワードライブは自分が使用している純木製5枚合板だとあまり威力を出せず、それで見るとスピードは6といった所です。ただミート打ち、スマッシュ系はノータッチで打ち抜けるくらいしっかりスピードが出ます。

  下回転打ちは微粘着シートを活かして少しボールを待つイメージだと安定しやすく、ループで回転をしっかりかけたりナックル気味にも出来て回転や球質の差は出せます。
  また、微粘着のお陰でけっこう自分からガッツリツッツキしても短く収まりやすく台上に2バウンドで収まったり打点を落として打たせたりできます。この辺の弾まなさを活かして普通のブロックやカットブロックもやりやすいです。

  打球感のクセもあって周りにオススメはしにくいですけど、このラバーを貼ってからシングルスのリーグ戦でこれまで勝率5割以下だったのがいきなり優勝や、同じチームメイトで全然勝てなかった人に勝てるようになって、不思議なラバーです。
