Even more limited in who can use it than Tenergy - this is a true monster rubber.
On hard hits, both the spin and the bounce are beyond reproach. As expected, it really does require a good amount of skill.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I really recommend this!!!
I've been using it since last week, and the first thing that surprised me was how much spin it grips - more than I expected!
I used to use the GFT45, and this feels like a huge step up!
The spin on serves and drives is kind of "meh" compared to Tenergy, G1, or Hurricane, but the control is fantastic. It's very stable.
It feels a little hard - noticeably harder than Tenergy or G1.
I wouldn't recommend it to beginners. But for middle schoolers, I feel like it's usable from around winter of 7th grade onward. If you're curious, why not give it a try?All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Spin monster (Experience: 4〜5 years) Compared to G1...

Comparing it to the G1:
Spin - the G1 is better
Speed - the GF PRO is better
Feel - the GF PRO is harder
Control - about the same
That's my take. If you're not great at brushing the ball on your drive, I'd recommend the G1 over the PRO.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Miyacchi 20XX (Experience: 4〜5 years) Just like a slightly tacky rubber
-
2016/09/17
My first impression when I hit with it was that, even though it's a tension rubber, it felt similar to a slightly tacky Chinese rubber (like Hurricane 8 <40 degrees>).
On top of that, this rubber needs a lot of brushing to get spin going, so compared to a tacky rubber it feels kind of half-baked.
The speed is also slower than I expected, about the same as a tacky rubber (including slightly tacky ones).
I wouldn't recommend this rubber to anyone who dislikes slightly tacky rubbers.
There were rumors it's similar to Tenergy 80, but it felt far from that to me.
This difficulty to handle is probably what makes it "pro spec" - tough for amateurs.
By the way, I'd recommend pairing this rubber with a blade that has some wood flex.The weight is on the heavier side.
(I've noted it for reference, but it can vary slightly depending on the weight of the glue.)

Ryo (Experience: 6〜10 years) Compared to the 48

I originally had the 48 on my forehand and the 45 on my backhand, but as soon as the Pro version came out I switched to the Pro on forehand and moved the 48 to backhand.
First, about the hardness - it's not rock hard, and if anything it feels a bit softer than the G-1.
Overall I think the performance is a step up from the 48.
Speed comes out well, and when I hit a straight drive down the line from my forehand side, I feel like it gets past opponents untouched more often.
The spin has also gone up noticeably - I've been told my low-trajectory drives feel heavier now, and that my loop drives have insane spin. I'm not great at the short game to begin with so I can't say much there, but stops and blocks feel fine and I can do them the same as before.
Also, this might be a side note, but since I'm left-handed I use curve drives a lot, and the amount of curve feels great!
If you're using the 48, I think it's worth spending a bit more to try the Pro.
Hope this helps even a little.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Beginner (Experience: Less than a year) Spin & speed are amazing!

My first impression after hitting with it was that since it's hard, the ball sinks into the sponge really well!! Also, you get speed, but it's still easy to do receives, small techniques, and slower techniques like loop drives that don't need speed. And!! The spin is insane lol. When I put spin on it and spun it on my fingernail, it made this "whoosh" sound and spun for 7 seconds at best! That's crazy lol. But maybe because the sheet is hard, I feel like serves are a bit hard to put spin on... if you don't toss it high, it doesn't grip the ball, and I found it hard to serve short and drop it close to the net. Well, guess that's just something to get used to lol.
And for mid-distance play lol, I'll keep it simple! (I don't lose out lol)
Also, since the arc is high, the rubber kind of does the work for you lol. All I do is just hit drives toward the table! (Might vary by person...)
By the way, for blocks, just touching the ball makes it go in deep lol. Um... honestly there's nothing bad about it!! Even as someone who just started playing table tennis, I didn't feel it was hard to use, so I'd recommend it to beginners who've been playing for about half a year. That's it! Sorry for the long post!!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I hit with a sample, and it's a pretty hard rubber. Because of that, the amount of spin is tremendous, but it's just too hard for everyone to use, so be careful.
