Yasaka Valmo

So when i first got this rubber i was a flat hitter, and this rubber, although very fast when flat hitting,it is better for looping. It produces a bit more spin then the TSP super ventus, as well as the hexer grip. I believe the most prominent feature of this rubber is its feeling; it feel almost a soft as the rakza 7 soft, but unlike the R7S it never bottoms out, even when you blast the ball as hard as you can it will barely get down to the blade, and nobody ever needs to hit it that hard in a game. And unlike a lot of rubbers i have used (hexer grip, super ventus, rakza 7, rakza 9 among others) this rubber doesn't "bite" the ball, instead i'd say the ball sinks into it before being propelled out with lots of feeling and control. i personally use it on my forhand on 3 different blades currently (1. Tibhar stratus power wood OFF- 2. andro kanter explorer OFF 3. premade donic waldner 900 blade ALL/ALL+), i don't like it on my BH because of the propelling feeling as i prefer the "biting" feeling on my BH. - Over all I personally think this is far superior to the rakza series when it comes to a looping play style, generating slightly more spin and and a tiny bit more speed then the rakza 9 with a unique feel, and the durability is great being primarily made out of a very flexible rubbery natural gum. 9.5/10

Totally underrated, and bygone of many, because Yazaka arent any good at marketing. Never was. Its those foul guys in Sweden, Woodhose.

Decent Japanese rubber, great for BH also good for FH, ball clicks into the rubber well upon contact, also able to produce a lot of spin, in my opinion, it is one of the best choices for reverse penhold backhand

Much research done to attain this rubber. This rubber I find personally to have a Rakza 7 soft kind of feel but yet outperforms Rakza 7 soft. This does not have a biting feel as Rakza 7 may have at times but instead the sponge absorbs then releases with control. There is plenty of grip to loop with speed and control from close to mid but I feel then needs to be somewhat flat hit on a closed angle further away to not only make the table but keep pressure on. Can produce heavy spin and speed with rubber. Able to lift underspin easy. Feels very controlled. I use this on backhand and recommend this rubber to anyone. I use on YEO7 blade. I read that this rubber performs better on harder composite blades and I strongly agree. Much better than MarkVHps

Realy nice rubber. A lot like Dignics 05 but with a little bit less spin and a little bit moore speed. Both are relatively hard and at the same time light. Valmo the lightest.
