Yasaka Wallie Rubber

Review: Yasaka Wallie Soft rubber 

Blade:Stiga Energy WRB(OFF). 

I had the chance to play with this rubber and decided to share my
experiences to all. 

Rubber characteristics:
Speed:5/10
Spin:8/10
Control:8/10
Sponge hardness:very soft
Sponge colour:dull green Overall:7/10 

Serves:I was able to generate large amounts of spin on serves as the soft
sponge provided a long dwell time.Downside was that i could not serve a fast down the line serve as the sponge couldnt support it. 

Serve Receives:it was really easy to return the ball with good accuracy and placement.Lifting and flicking underspin was easy. 

Blocking:
Passively: Passive blocking is not for this rubber.the sponge does not
support or provide momentum for
the ball to go over the net.
Active:this is a strength of this rubber.i was able to block with accurate
placement and speed,creating problems for my opponents. 

Topspin to topspin: a slow topspin game close to the table was achievable. As soon as the speed
was increased,the sponge would bottom out.Moving away from the table meant that more power would be needed to send the ball over the net,which resulted in the sponge bottoming out.Therefore away from
the table play was not an option. 

Upsides: Performs well in active blocking.serve and serve receive was also easy to do well with good
results. 

Downsides:This rubber is slow(it was used on an OFF blade,but the sponge
made it feel like an ALL).You cannot play fast with this rubber. 

Conclusion:This rubber would be suited for a defensive player who
actively blocks,but is not really effective in todays game of table tennis,where speed is a priority.
