This is really a chop-only rubber.
Once you get used to it, you can put a ton of spin on your chops.
Using it, I noticed the opponent's topspin drives just drop dead into the net.
I'd recommend it to anyone who wants heavy spin on their chops.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

What I used to use:
Blade: Koji Matsushita
Forehand rubber: Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Blue, thick
Backhand rubber: Speedy Soft My, 1.6mm
What I use now:
Blade: Koji Matsushita
Forehand rubber: Triple Double Extra, 2.0mm
Backhand rubber: Curl P4V, 0.5mmThe first thing I noticed using it is that it's overwhelmingly easy to use. I was torn between this and the P1V, but compared to the P1V, the ball goes in stably even with a slower swing speed, and it still got a decent amount of spin. Chop blocks and pushes are also easy, so I think you can pull off surprise attacks with it too. And above all, pushes get a lot of spin. From the opponent's perspective, the gap between "it's long pips" and "but it's spinning" makes them net the ball a high percentage of the time. And since pushes get spin, knuckle pushes really come alive. Even on a floating ball, you can smash it without flipping your racket (obviously flipping the racket gives more power, but if you pick your course, you can get enough speed to blow it past your opponent untouched even without flipping).
In any case, this is a set of long pips I can recommend to a wide range of players.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I put this on a Viscaria and used it for chopping. Thanks to the anti-spin sponge, the ball stayed on the table really well, and the ball-holding of the Curl P4 combined with the Viscaria's fast release meant the ball was less affected by incoming spin, while still producing variation and a low-trajectory chop — it's really a perfect match. Pushes were also very easy to put spin on, and paired with the Viscaria, blocking felt great too. If you put it on an outer-ply blade, the anti-spin sponge produces some really interesting effects, so I'd highly recommend trying that.

I bought this as my first long-pips rubber as a chopper. To cut to the conclusion, it's perfect except for close-to-the-table play. I bought the thin version.
First, chops go in most of the time. Even in a worst-case scenario where your form has broken down, it still lands on the table. As for spin, it's decent. It doesn't feel like it grabs the ball hard, but it does put a proper amount of spin on. You can also get knuckle balls if you chop with a slightly glancing contact.
Control-wise, it's good. No real weaknesses there.
For pushes, if you collapse the pips, you can keep a ton of spin on the ball. But it's not as much as with an inverted rubber. Otherwise it's about the same as other soft long pips.
Playing close to the table is a bit tough. It's hard to get speed on pushes. Also, for pips, it's affected by spin more than you'd expect, so lining up your racket angle correctly really matters. This part depends on skill, so it might be fine for some people. Personally, the one thing I just can't do at all is topspin drive with it. Maybe it's because the pips are soft, but the ball just drops.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

For sharpness and that classic long-pips feel, the hard-sponge Curl P1 wins out, but for a chopper, this is plenty good enough. Chops are stable while still spinning well, and thanks to the good ball-holding from the soft sponge, it's also fairly good at putting on your own spin, so pushes have good spin too.
If you don't collapse the pips well on receives or when handling knuckle balls, you tend to get floating, spinless returns. The instability when your contact is off is nowhere close to Butterfly's Feint Long series. The short game with this rubber is a bit hit-or-miss.
Because the ball-holding is good, while it's not quite like short pips, you can handle topspin backhand rallies without much trouble. Because of that, though, you might get less unpredictable variation on your own attacking shots.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

The manufacturer-listed sponge hardness is 20! It's super soft. Even a scrap piece of the rubber is floppy (maybe that's partly because I used the 0.5mm version).
This rubber is all about stability. If you just make contact, the ball tends to go in. It was especially easy to do chop blocks thanks to that stability. Pushes felt a little floaty. Push blocks were good too — they didn't overshoot or hit the net.
For chopping, it's fine on the forehand as well as the backhand, of course. I felt this rubber shines more as a tacky, control-oriented rubber than as an attacking one.
It's very cheap, so it's totally fine even for someone new to pips.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

Since this is a Curl made for choppers, the performance is high.
Pushes have decent spin. Chops basically go in no matter what, and when you really chop hard you can get a nasty amount of spin on it easily. Pushing over the table is easy too. I wasn't expecting much from attacking, but it's actually super easy to hit with. When you buy this rubber, I'd recommend pairing it with a Yuto Muramatsu blade.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
