57g at max thickness.
Shore C hardness (sheet side) 49.9, (sponge side) 49.5. (Dignics 09C: sheet side 50.8, sponge side 49.1.)
Shore A hardness (sheet side) 34.0, (sponge side) 33.0. (Dignics 09C: sheet side 33.4, sponge side 31.8.)
It's supposed to be a strong-tack rubber, but when I touched it, the tackiness felt more like a slight tack to me.
The sponge didn't let the ball sink in well — it was a rock-hard type rubber, similar to the sponge on Hurricane.
As the title suggests, when compared at the same hardness on the German scale to a China Ying rubber, it felt closer to a spin-oriented tension rubber. I think the fact that it bounces despite being a tacky rubber is a characteristic of German-made tacky tension rubbers. Compared to a China Ying, it seemed a bit harder to produce quirky/wobbly balls, but in exchange it felt easier to handle and easier to get the arc you expect.
I've also reviewed it on my blog, so please check that out for reference.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I was using Bluefire, but I decided to make a change! It takes some time to get used to at first! Once you do, the grip is great, so you can hit strong-spin topspin drives.

The feel on impact is hard.
It's a tacky tension rubber, but the ball comes out with a lot of quirky movement — it really wavers in the air.
If you can handle it with a strong impact, it's an absolutely insane rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

It's rock hard. The chiquita might be difficult with this one. But if you use your whole body properly and get a solid impact on the ball, you can hit a heavy ball with good speed and spin.

The combination of a fine-bubble sponge with a tacky sheet is clearly aimed straight at DHS's Hurricane.
So I'll compare it to the Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge.
For the hitting style, it feels like a middle ground between Hurricane and a tension rubber, and it's best to take the ball fairly deep into the sponge. The hardness is on the firmer side, though it feels less hard than I expected.
You won't get a good ball unless you really use your whole body to hit it. Even so, it doesn't have the same strong quirks as Hurricane, but I also wouldn't call it a hard, easy-to-use rubber.
Next, the short game — needless to say, it's easy to play there. However, the chiquita might feel a bit difficult for people who are used to tension rubbers.
It feels more suited to the forehand than the backhand. People who want to use it on the backhand, or who find it too hard, should probably go with the softer C2 version instead.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
