The provincial is slightly faster than the commercial in terms of power.I would say that this rubber would suit both beginners and higher level players as this rubber is designed to play well with good technique,therefore to get the best out of this rubber you will have to use arm,body and legs for the forehand completely, for example.However,this spin is amazing if you can brush the ball and the rubber is more controllable compared to tensor's but can still provide you with speed,especially with the provincial.Boosting would help speed up the rubber but as its the provincial rubber it works fine without.Be aware you need to break in the rubber after 2 weeks of playing the rubber plays faster after breaking in!
