This is a grippy rubber that performs well on anyone's forehand as it is good for blocking and looping. On the backhand this rubber is advanced, especially combined with a fast blade because of how spinny and fast it is. I was surprised, but this rubber is actually extremely good on backhand chops. In terms of its durability, this rubber lasted me from mid July to mid January at around 4 hours per week of play, even though I played with it in dirty conditions for a while. It should last a couple months longer if you use it in a clean environment. This rubber is not bad at any aspect of table tennis, it's fast, spinny, and controllable, especially if you use a slow blade.

This is a pretty standard offensive rubber. The nittaku reforma is a speed glue rubber, so it will perform at the best only if you use speed glue.

This rubber is very comparable to stiga magna. The feel is almost identical, except maybe this is just slightly tackier with more control. It is great for attacking and blcoking. The loops you can do with this rubber are great, high amounts of spin, the sponge is pretty elastic, medium hardness, so they are very powerful and fast. At the same time, the control allows you to have very nicely placed blocks, and an occasional counterloop. Usable on forehand and backhand, depending on what thickness you buy.
