    I used this on a Joo Se Hyuk blade, and found both drives and chops very easy to handle.
    The amount of spin loses out to inverted rubber, but I think it's still on the higher side. I found loop drives easy to hit.
    I also felt it was easy to control for short-game techniques like pushes.
    Since it's not easily affected by incoming spin, blocking is also easy. It's nice that the price is reasonable too.

    I picked this up because it's Tibhar's first chopping blade. Compared to the Joo Se-hyuk blade, the speed is toned down and the blade is wider. It's light, so it's easy to swing through on drives too. It also pairs well with the 1Q and Glass rubbers — it tones down those two fast rubbers just enough to make them manageable.
    Even Glass, which used to be a real handful, became a lot easier to use with this. On close-to-the-table blocks, it holds up without getting pushed back and returns the ball solidly to the other side. The material is soft, so it feels a bit cheap, like it might shatter if you knock it against the table, but right now I think it's the best blade for me.

    I had this on my backhand. The sheet grips the ball well, so serves and drives get strong spin. However, it's easily affected by incoming spin, so returning serve can be tough without decent short-game skills. The sheet is soft, so you play by letting the ball sink in. Same with drives - if you let the ball sink in, you can hit fast topspin drives. Since it's easily affected by spin, it doesn't seem great for blocking (things like curve drives especially throw it off). I'd say this suits beginner-to-intermediate drive players who understand how spin works and have some short-game skill.

    I used to have this on a Joo Se-hyuk blade, but I stopped using it because it was too bouncy and too much of a wild horse.
    After that I got curious about the 1Q, another Tibhar rubber, and bought it, along with a new blade to match, so I put it on the backhand to try out an all-Tibhar combination.
    I'd heard it pairs well with the 1Q, and when I tried it, the wild-horse behavior was toned down quite a bit. Also, probably because the blade keeps the bounce in check, I made fewer overshooting mistakes.
    I'm especially grateful that my blocks became more stable. Chops also had fewer overshoot mistakes. On the attacking side, it's strong for throwing the opponent's rhythm off and for just blocking the ball back with the opponent's own spin intact. Since the pips are tall and soft, flick-style shots let you enjoy more variation than you'd expect. That said, it's still an advanced-level rubber, so if you're using long pips for the first time, you're probably better off practicing with a more beginner-friendly long pips rubber first.

    I bought this because Kura-san on WRM praised it so highly.
    Being a tension rubber, at first it bounced too much and I couldn't really handle it, but I've finally gotten used to it. My chops come out low and skidding with a lot of bite, so I think drive players find them really hard to return. On top of that, I can chop consistently — I've definitely made fewer chopping errors. The one downside is that the trajectory tends to be flat, so if you chop hard on a ball that's below table height it can go long, but even a light chop puts enough spin on it to cover for that. The push is sharp, just like they advertise, though if you don't really cut it well it's easy to net. For drives, the ball comes out fast with a lot of spin. Even balls below table height come up easily with just a light graze. Personally I found it easier to hit by really sinking the ball into the sponge.
    Also, blocking close to the table — just blocking the ball sends it back pretty fast. I think this is a good choice for choppers playing mid-distance to away from the table, and for blockers close to the table.
