With its light weight and spin, you can just keep pushing forward, haha. For those of us used to modern tension rubbers, the lightness is honestly surprising. It's very easy to use, spin comes easily, and since it's light it also helps you swing faster!

I'll write up my impressions from putting this on the TSP Section (a beginner-friendly 5-ply blade), the Butterfly Viscaria (outer ALC), the Primorac Carbon (Tamca 5000 and a super-fast hinoki blade), the Donic Ovtcharov True Carbon (a softer outer carbon blade), and the Cornilleau Calderano Foco Off+ (a 7mm 5-ply blade).
On the Section, being a beginner blade, it's really consistent. It's not a rubber that bounces too much to begin with, so it's a good match.
On the Viscaria, being an outer blade, it bounced quite a lot, which was great. The lightness came through nicely and it felt stable on the forehand.
On the Primorac Carbon I also put it on the forehand, and the combination of a softer rubber with a super-fast blade was a really good match. It also had a nice metallic sound.
With the True Carbon it felt a bit similar to the Viscaria, but I could hit even more consistently than with that.
The Calderano is a lightweight blade, so the total weight doesn't get too heavy and you can swing it freely.The topsheet feels a little weak, so you need to be careful if you bump it against something, but the price isn't too high either, so I think I'd buy it again.

In terms of hardness, my sense is that the sponge and sheet are on the firmer side rather than soft. It gets a decent amount of spin. As for speed, hitting it with a flat, punchy stroke gave it real power and made it fast. Just tapping the ball lightly didn't make it fly much though. And in terms of control, when you really sink the ball in and hit through it, it goes in consistently, and it made a sharp metallic ping sound that felt great to hit. My overall takeaway is that this is hard to use unless you're someone who can hit with strong impact.

I use the medium thickness on the reverse side of a Chinese penhold blade, and it's just so light, plus the consistency and sound when hitting hard are really notable, so it's been extremely useful for me.

Nicky It's a tension rubber, but・・・

The sponge has a fine, even cell structure, so the weight barely varies from sheet to sheet.
The strengths are the consistency on things like pushes and receives, and the fact that just blocking the ball gives it a bit of a counter-like quality. And above all, it's light.
The downside is that if you don't grip the ball well, it can feel like it slips, and if you hit it too flat the ball goes off somewhere completely different...
If you're mainly blocking and countering, a carbon blade works fine, but for beginners, a bouncy 5-ply all-wood blade is more than enough to bring out its performance.
Results vary a lot depending on the player, but I think this is a rubber with a lot of potential.All Speed Spin Control

The spin is a bit lacking compared to something like Tenergy, but it still gives you a decent amount.
What impressed me most was that drives, smashes, pushes, and other shots were all easy to use. I think it's great for anyone looking for consistency. It's especially perfect for the backhand side.All Speed Spin Control

The main thing I felt using it was that it's a difficult rubber.
If you don't really sink the ball in when you hit, it won't spin properly and you'll dump backspin balls into the net.
It's hard to use well unless you have a fast swing speed.All Speed Spin Control
