I used this until recently.
It feels like a slightly toned-down version of the Fastarc.
Speed and spin are both decent, and I think it's an easy rubber to handle.
That said, it obviously doesn't reach Fastarc-level performance, and while it's stable, it doesn't have any standout quality like a tacky rubber, so I think it's a good rubber for people looking for consistency.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

From using it, the spin doesn't fly too much for a tension rubber, so you can swing fairly hard, chiquita and blocking are both good, and topspin drives feel stable for a tension rubber too, so I think it's a great recommendation as a beginner's first tension rubber.
Also, the low price is another one of its strengths.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This rubber makes counter-hitting easy
It pairs well with an all-wood blade, and I'd recommend a 5-ply.
With topspin drives, you really feel like you're putting the spin on yourself, and with counters too you can feel yourself gripping spin, so it's easy to control. It doesn't fly much, so playing away from the table felt a bit iffy.
Overall it felt like if you just swing, the ball goes in. I think a blade without carbon is better, since it won't fly too much or feel heavy.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Forehand
・Topspin drives are stable
・I get the impression the spin isn't that strong
Backhand
・Blocking is stableOverall, blocking is quite stable. On the forehand, it's about the topspin drive. You'd better give up on pushing with this one. It also bounces a bit easily in places, so backhand drives can sometimes be inconsistent.

The sponge is soft, but the sheet is fairly hard.
If you put it on a special-material or 7-ply blade, the blade's bounce sends the ball off before the sponge can even engage, so you can't really grip the ball.
As for lifting backspin, a 5-ply blade can just about manage it, but on a blade with hard-or-more bounce, brushing the ball is difficult.
The speed is decent enough - fairly average for the price range, but slow compared to rubbers overall.
It's easy to use in topspin rallies. Given the stability of blocks and meet shots, it suits beginners on the backhand who don't use a third-ball backhand topspin drive.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

A friend of mine uses this, and this is my impression after getting to hit with it.
The first thing I noticed hitting with this rubber was how well balanced it is.
It's on the softer side, but in the short game it doesn't behave as wildly as I expected, and stops and flicks aren't hard to do either.
Topspin drives arc nicely.
Lifting backspin isn't hard either.
Blocking is also easy.
Every technique felt balanced and reassuring.
It really reminded me of the feeling of hitting with the old Hammond series coated in glue, back in the day.That said, how you rate this rubber will probably depend a lot on what you're looking for.
It's a well-balanced, model-student type of rubber, but since it doesn't have much personality, it feels like a rubber that's hard to make your own signature with.Speed and spin fall short compared to high-end rubbers.
You won't get tacky-rubber-style tricky balls out of it.
It's also hard to produce nasty shots in the short game.If you're looking for some kind of personality in a rubber, I don't think this one fits.
On the flip side, I'd recommend this for shakehand players whose backhand is mostly blocking.
It also seems like it would suit the reverse side of a penhold blade.Also, I think it could work as a rubber for both sides for a beginner who's been playing table tennis for a while and has developed some basic skill.
Paired with a Swat blade, it feels like a combination that's cost-effective and can be used for a long time.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
