with all the positive reviews and my tendency towards softer rubbers I wanted to try this rubber. I put it onto my Xiom TMXi blade, black 2.0 thickness. the other rubber was Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft as I had the feeling these two might be comparable plus I played now with R7s for a while.
AsiaDF is a bit slower, not too much, but when playing side by side, it is noticeable. on the other hand, AsiaDF has quite a better feel for the ball and spin is also better. where the two separate the most is blocking. with AsiaDF it was much more controlled, easier, if you like.
the only thing that bothers me a bit at the moment is when you want to really push your opponent with long backspin pushes. the ball tends to fly off the bat, either getting a bit high, or over the table. but it has great amount of spin so if it lands on the table, it's is still tricky for smashes.
serve game is also very good, offers good precision and a lot of rotation.
still cannot coment on durability, as this was the first session played with the rubber.
