True to its name, the grip and spin are fantastic, but it's heavy,
so drives are hard to hit until you get used to it.
Also, the ball quality tends to feel light, and I couldn't really say
the control was all that good either.All Speed Spin Control
Racket recommended use Galleon

Even when you take the ball late and low, it still lifts nicely, and speed drives get strong spin on them too.
As for serves, backspin serves in particular bite incredibly well.All Speed Spin Control
Racket recommended use ALLROUND EVOLUTION

Just like the title says, the spin is insane. I use it on my backhand.
But control isn't great — it's fine if you just flick/hit the ball, but it's not really suited to sinking the ball in deep and driving through.
The speed is decent.All Speed Spin Control
Racket recommended use Innerforce ZLC

Knuckle Man Spin-oriented tension rubber

The sponge is on the harder side, so it's easy to put spin on.
That said, I felt it was pretty hard to control.
Also, it wears out fast and quickly gets smooth/slick.
The ball sinks in a fair amount too, so you get a decent amount of spin.
It's pricey, but worth using.
I felt it could work as a substitute for something like Tenergy.

A hard spin-oriented tension rubber, and it's on the heavier side too.
Sinking the ball in for a drive is pretty tough, but it's not impossible if you're a powerful player.
That said, a brushing stroke works best. Because the sponge is hard, it's easy to get a good clean brush on the ball. The sheet's grip is extremely strong, so lifting backspin balls is easy. The spin is tremendous too — the ball can even dip down after the bounce.
Topspin rallies against advanced players are a bit tough, though. The ball tends to fly upward, so I got a lot of overshoot misses. If you hit it the way you would with a tacky rubber, it comes in on a nice trajectory. It suits close-to-the-table play. Speed is a bit lacking though...Serves bite really well, but returns are very sensitive to incoming spin, so you need to be careful.
The low trajectory on chops is fantastic. It also cuts really well. The ball barely bounces when you chop, so you can chop with plenty of margin.True to the name "Power Grip," it has serious grip, and it'll be a great weapon for players with fast swings, but since the ball doesn't sink in easily, I think it's tough to handle for players without much power. Also, it's not exactly cheap, and I felt it wore out fairly quickly.

Drives and pushes really bite — maybe it doesn't have that much bounce? Stops were easy to do too.
My overall impression is that short-game technique is easy with this.
In rallies I could also hit drives with a lot of spin, which left a good impression.
I just started playing table tennis so I don't have much feel for these things yet, but my impression was better than what I read in reviews on other sites.All Speed Spin Control

Shoo (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Spin that rivals tacky rubber, tension-level bounce

It has spin that rivals a tacky rubber, but it's also got bounce, so you need a pretty fast swing to sink the ball in.
That said, it also works fine with a brushing stroke, so it's versatile.
Speed drives with a bounce that tacky rubbers don't have.
Loops that rival tacky rubbers when you brush the ball.
A good rubber that can do both.
It's a little heavy and hard.
If that's not your thing, I'd recommend something with more grip instead.All Speed Spin Control
