I have this mounted at max thickness on the forehand side of my Tomokazu Harimoto Innerforce ALC.
Despite the low price, the performance is amazing.
Spin is great, of course, but the speed is surprisingly good too!
It's on the softer side for a tacky rubber, so you can switch over from a tension rubber without any trouble.
Loop drives are really easy to do, and things like stops hold firmly too.
Blocking is easy, and techniques like counter-blocking were also easy to pull off.
Because it's on the softer side, speed drives are easy to hit as well!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use Tomokazu Harimoto Innerforce ALC

You get some tricky, unpredictable balls with this.
In particular, the sound it makes makes it hard to tell whether a drive has spin on it or not.
You can keep both pushes and serves low and deep, and you can also do the opposite.
The price is also kept reasonable, so it seems like a good entry point into tacky-tension rubbers.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The hardness is about like Rakza X or Fastarc G-1 - soft for a tacky rubber. Neither the sheet nor the sponge is super stiff. The feel when you hit it is kind of like a Skyline that's had speed glue applied.
I originally used tacky rubbers, but switched to spin-type tension rubbers after speed glue got banned - however, I really didn't like the slipping sensation when brushing the surface, so I tried Xiang Long and got hooked.
It doesn't feel very much like a typical tacky rubber, so people who've always used Chinese tacky rubbers will probably be dissatisfied. I used to often use slightly softer tacky rubbers (like Tackifire and Triple Speed), so I really love this rubber.
I'd say it's closer to a tension rubber than a tacky rubber, but dead-stop pushes/stops work fine without any issues, which feels great - I'd recommend it when transitioning from a spin-oriented tension rubber to a tacky rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Maybe it just happens to fit my playing style, or maybe it's some kind of magic combination, but mounting this at thick on Goriki, forehand chops became incredibly easy to hit.
It stays low, gets spin on the ball, and carries all the way to the back of the table - there's really nothing to complain about.
I actually gave up on being a chopper and switched to close-to-the-table attacking style, but this was good enough to make me want to try chopping again.
Neither Goriki nor Xiang Long are actually meant for chopping equipment, though...All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I normally use Hurricane on my forehand, and since this is also a Chinese rubber, it was really easy to use. It genuinely feels like Hurricane with tension added, so I think Hurricane users would find it easy to switch to.
There's really no technique that's hard to pull off with it - it feels like it takes the best of both tacky and tension rubbers. That said, it's a fairly hard rubber, so you need a strong impact to generate real power. On the flip side, if you do have that strong impact, you can produce really powerful shots. Chops are nicely controlled and travel a good distance, so it's very easy to use for chopping too - I think it would work well for choppers as well.
Also, the price is very cheap, so I'd highly recommend it for high schoolers. Just what you'd expect from Yasaka, I guess lolAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
