Any modern rubber you use in any thickness near what is common will feel and perform different.

A play who is close to the table and plays fast without a lot of spin has two categories of equipment that make it easier to do the common two most common tasks (hit hard/fast with little spin and block when needed).

Koreans coaches nearly 100% started out players with this kind of style. They started them out with the most ridiculously fast blades and mid-firm early gen tensor rubbers in max sponge. This setup makes it real easy to pound it without a lot of spin given that the player is in position, commands the strike zone, and has solid drive stroke. (Drive means little topspin... in Korea it means heavy topspin - I am talking about little spin)

So an OFF++ blade like Schlager Carbon and a mid firm early gen tensor rubber like Yasaka Extend HS or Calibra LT (that one was firmer, but still easy for drives) kind of rubber was very common.

Another way is the counter hitter at the table vs incoming spin... an ALL class wood blade and soft to medium sponge control rubbers allows a player to more easily hit through a loop and land the ball. You are simply able to hit harder and still land it.

Rosena could work for this, so can many other rubbers.
