It's very easy to lift the ball with, and my third-ball attacks off the backhand are consistent. It's stable both close to the table and at mid-distance, and every aspect performs above average, so I think it's a really good rubber.
That said, since it's soft, I do think it's better suited for the backhand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Speed: Since this is the DF version, the speed is toned down a bit. But thanks to that, the ball stays on the table well and you have time to add spin, which makes it very easy to use.
Spin: The sponge is soft and the sheet grips the ball well, and since the initial speed isn't that fast, it's very easy to put spin on the ball. You can really build a feel for generating spin. Advanced players might find it a bit lacking, though.
Control: Both the sponge and the sheet are soft and it doesn't bounce too much, so you can place the ball exactly where you're aiming.
I'd recommend this to people who just started table tennis but find beginner rubbers unsatisfying, or to penhold players who want to try the reverse-side backhand style.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Drives stay on the table, and smashes go in properly. This could be the rubber you settle on for your backhand and never switch away from.

It has excellent control and speed, so you get fast, powerful shots.
Because the control is so good, even if you swing with a bit too much force it still lands in your opponent's court.
Because the speed is so good, the ball comes out really fast.
And when you combine both, you can hit powerful, fast shots.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

[What I like]
First, there's a lot of spin — as you'd expect from a spin-oriented tension rubber. Also, since the rubber is soft, letting the ball sink in when you hit works really well. I use it on my forehand, and countering and blocking were great with it. It's very stable — you can naturally turn your opponent's hard hits into power of your own. Drives also go in easily. Again, sinking the ball in works well for drives too. It suits close-to-the-table and mid-distance play.
[What I don't like (just my personal opinion)]
Maybe it's because I'm using it on my forehand, but while drives are easy to hit, they sometimes go long. Control isn't great. And my pushes tended to float up a bit too. I think this rubber is really better suited for the backhand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Honestly, I prefer harder rubbers, so this one didn't leave much of an impression on me.
If I had to say something positive, I'd say my control improved a bit.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I've had this on my backhand for about a year. It's a stable rubber with almost no weak points when playing close to the table. It's soft and the ball sinks in easily, so you get consistent shots with a decent amount of spin. The blocking and countering are wonderfully stable — so stable that switching to another rubber makes my blocks feel dull, and I just can't bring myself to change ^^;
Both grazing shots and flat hits are stable, but grazing doesn't generate much speed, so you need to hit flat to really punch through.
When it comes to mid-distance topspin rallies, you lose a lot of energy on your drives, so I'd say this suits all-forehand players who want a stable backhand, or intermediate players who've been playing table tennis for about a year.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
