Takyu Oukoku magazine has reported that Rozena was the 2nd best selling rubber in April:

It many not have as much spin as T05 but it's taylor made for players who don't have fast swing speed like pros.

Is this accurate info? Fast arc seems to be popular in japan...

I got to weigh a 2.1mm sheet. Mine was 69g (uncut) / 44g (cut).

It's accurate enough for the actual TT companies in Japan to use it to estimate rival company's sales. Fastarc is very popular as it's easier and cheaper than Tenergy. Probably also helped by the fact Ishikawa and Ito use them.

Maybe a bit too review-the-reviewy, but I can't help but notice the constant in Dan and Tom's reviews are Dan and Tom hitting pretty much the same shots with pretty much similar confidence, regardless of equipment. Of course, acompanying comments state some things were easier, some harder. But hey, there are the shots, so here we are.

Somehow that's a comforting observation. The skilled, they find a way to play. They cope with the differences in material.

Now I have two Apolonia ZLC with Rozena on BH

I made an unboxing, weight and bounce video of the Rozena for my side project youtube channel, hope you like it!

I played with it yesterday about 2h (2.1 red on the backhand). First impressions are very good:
- Very safe to play with
- Excellent control and ball placement
- Nice Tenergy feeling
- It's soft but not as much as the 05fx
- It doesn't excel on anything but it's good for everything

Things it could be better: more spin, less weight

Compared to the 05fx 1.9:
Speed Rozena > 05fx
Spin Rozena << 05fx
Control Rozena > 05fx
Weight Rozena > 05fx
Topsheet grip Rozena < 05fx
Sponge hardness Rozena > 05fx
