This is honestly a rubber good enough to use at a top competitive level, and since the price is reasonable too, I've been using it happily on my main racket lately.
From the name I thought it might be some gimmicky rubber, but it doesn't have any extreme characteristics - it's actually really easy to use.
If you touch it, you can tell it has a little bit of tackiness. Not sticky, just the faintest hint of tack. It holds its own well against Japanese tacky rubbers.It's kind of like what you'd get if you added tension to TSP's Triple or Tamasu's Tackiness D (lol).
That "faint" level of tackiness is just right.When you hit normally, the tackiness doesn't get in the way, so you can play it like a regular tension rubber, and it doesn't feel off even when you drive through the ball.
It's only in the short game that it grabs the ball and stops it dead like a tacky rubber should.
The trajectory is a fairly high arc.
When you hit the ball it launches upward and is almost forced into an arc - that's the feel of it.
It's great for special-material blades or 7-ply blades, which tend to send the ball on a flatter line.
With a 5-ply blade it might feel a bit lacking in bounce.
Not a good fit if you want to hit the ball on a flat, straight line.
To put it in comparison, it's like taking GFT48 or Rakza 7 and dialing down the bounce a bit while dialing up the grip on the ball to make up for it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The sheet is on the soft side, which isn't really my preference, but it's a good rubber and I wish it were more popular. I like it way more than Crayzer 09c.

The first time you use it brand new, the tack is really strong, so it just feels like a plain tacky rubber that doesn't bounce (kind of like the TSP 730 or Triple Spin).
After a few hours of use, the strong tack on the sheet wears off and it becomes slightly tacky, which is when the speed starts to come out. This is where this rubber's strengths really show. The spin drops off a bit but the speed picks up, giving a really nice balance of spin and speed. Paired with a high-performance blade, I think it'd make for a drive with real power.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The name is pretty out there, but the performance is great.
The slight tackiness is just perfect.
Honestly, I don't think there's another rubber with this good value for money.
I think it's better than the VEGA.
Don't let the name fool you - this is a rubber I really want people to try.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is a really good rubber.
It's a tacky rubber, but only very faintly tacky, so by the time you get used to it the tackiness has worn off and it becomes really easy to use.
I'd love for people to give it a try at least once.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This had been announced a while back and I was curious about it, but it turned out to be a pretty ordinary rubber without much of a standout feature, so I was disappointed.

This was way better than I expected.
It gets plenty of spin while still being fast, so it's a rubber that can win you points. I'd say it feels like something between a Chinese rubber and a Japanese rubber.
The price is especially cheap too, so the value for money is great!
It's fun surprising my opponent when we swap rackets to check equipment.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
