I've rated this vs similar class type rubbers, ie Sriver, Sriver FX. It is obviously not as fast as Tensor rubbers. The JO Waldner is an excellent rubber especially when combined with speed glue. I'd say its a little softer than Sriver, very similar to Sriver FX. It does provide a little more speed than the FX however and I'd say similar control. I played with this for many years before Tensor rubbers started coming out.

Excellent for looping style, the softer sponge is more forgiving than say a Mark V. It is an excellent rubber for most players. I'd highly recommend this for any player above beginner to intermediate-advanced. There is also a Nittaku labelled version. I've played with both and they are interchangeable.

It's the Sriver of Donic, but it's much better. It is faster, gives more spin and control. Even without glue it's very good. Only downside of this rubber is that it isn't very fast without speedglue. That can be solved by taking a MAX thickness and a faster blade, like a Butterfly Boll Spirit. The throw angle is medium.

It can do everything, it's cheap and very durable. Only downside to this rubber is that it is heavy.

Donic jo waldner is like the butterfly sriver rubber from donic, it is very durable and every sheet is alike.
It is a very reliable rubber in all strokes.
Not to fast not to slow just good enough for a powerfull hit, good enough in control and good enough in spin although there are rubber whom are better for spin and loops , the balance between all is just great, smashing can be done with good precision and so is blocking, a nice and very good rubber fro donic,you cant go wrong if you buy the donic jo waldner, if you are a more advanced table tennis player then you can put on a faster spinnier etc rubber ofcourse.
