I'm a chopper. Using this on my backhand side.
Offense: it bounces well and grips spin close to what inverted rubber gives, so it's easy to play with.
Defense: no real issues with blocking either.
When chopping it bounces a bit too much, so compared to other rubbers you need to hold the ball in more or it'll go long, but you get used to it and can manage. Also, knuckle balls are possible, though a bit tricky.
So I think it's ideal for a backhand with an unorthodox offense/defense style, or a backhand for close-to-the-table fast attack.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The sponge is soft and easy to control. It grips a decent amount of spin and also has good speed. It's good for switching over from inverted rubber, but if you're already a short-pips player, I feel like you might as well just go with regular inverted rubber.
I personally don't like it that much.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Personally I think the hardness is just right — not too hard, not too soft.
Switching over from inverted rubber, I didn't feel any real discomfort using it, but it's less prone to the quirky, unpredictable bounces that short pips are known for. If you're not chasing those quirky bounces and care more about playability and spin, I think this suits you well.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I use this on my forehand. Being a spin-oriented short pips rubber, it really grips a lot of spin. Backspin serves in particular were easy to put spin on. What I liked most was how easy countering was — it felt like it would go in just by swinging. Value for money is also excellent.

It gets spin so it's usable for serves too, and the speed is good! You can drive with it if you focus on it (depends on your technique). Control is good too! Maybe blocking is easy with it?

For a short pips rubber, it gets good spin, doesn't slip much, and the speed is pretty decent. That all sounds great, but honestly, isn't this basically just an inverted rubber? Looking at it as an inverted rubber that's a bit harder to spin and a bit slippery, it's not that great a rubber — though that's just my personal opinion.
Even when you use short-pips-specific strokes, the ball often flies off like it would off inverted rubber.
I've seen people on this review site recommending this as a switch from inverted rubber, but I really think you should avoid that. It just ends up being a watered-down inverted rubber.
I think it can be used well by advanced short pips players though.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

IQ (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Stability - good for switching from inverted rubber

I use the max thickness version on my backhand.
(For short pips) it gets solid spin and has good stability. On receive, I can return both no-spin short serves and long serves aggressively without dropping the ball into the net.
As for speed, it's not the flying-off-the-table type, but the power is more than sufficient.
That said, because it does get spin, it's actually somewhat easier for opponents to deal with. If you want to play in a more genuinely unorthodox way, I'd suggest something like VO101 or Booster EV instead.
I'd highly recommend this to players switching from inverted rubber to short pips, or to short pips players looking for more stability.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
