The sheet has kind of a moist feel to it, what you'd call a non-slip type. It feels similar to Mizuno's Quasar line. You can tell right away just by looking that it's different from the drier-feeling sheets on rubbers like Rasant or the Omega 4 line.
The feel is soft for a 47.5-degree hardness (probably because the sheet itself is soft), and topspin drives on both sides — both grazing shots and full hits — were really good, sending the ball up nicely. It's good against backspin too.
It also bounces quite a bit more than Quasar, so for a spin-oriented tension rubber, lobbing is fairly stable too.
It doesn't have as much bounce as Tenergy 64, but light taps still feel reasonably automatic to use.
That said, blocks also fly upward, so if you're not confident blocking, I'd say it's better on the forehand than the backhand. But for players who attack with both hands and use their backhand a lot, I can highly recommend it there.Compared to the Omega 4 series (Asia, Pro), the bounce is toned down a bit but it flies noticeably higher, giving it more spin. The Omega 5 Tour reportedly has even more bounce and flies in more of a straight line, so I'd guess it's a real rocket of a rubber (lol)
I'd recommend this to players who like to have fun, or serious players at the high school level and up.
On the other hand, it might not be ideal for elementary/junior high players who do a lot of short-game play over the table.Overall Speed Spin Control

I used this for three years with various rubbers (the Omega 4 series, Extend, Tenergy 05, and others).
Before this I was using Nittaku's Firumea, and what I remember thinking with that one was "whoa, this really bounces a lot."
The feel is semi-hard, softer than a typical carbon blade. Once you factor in the weight of whatever rubber you put on it, it ends up on the heavier side — I wouldn't recommend it to women.
Hard hits tend to sail long. A strong drive that catches the core of the blade flies out in a nice, clean arc.
I'd recommend a slightly softer high-tension rubber — it's easier to work with.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

With a rubber hardness of 48.5, it feels harder overall compared to rival high-tension rubbers like Tenergy 05.
I think it's fair to say the topsheet is on the harder side and the sponge is a bit on the softer side.
For topspin drives, if you really grip the ball down into the sponge you get a lot of spin and power, but personally I found it hard to do sheet-grazing serves and short game stops.
Smashes and lobs are easier to control than you'd expect from a high-tension rubber, which left a good impression.Also, like XIOM rubbers in general, it lasts a long time.
I'd recommend it to students who want more of a hard feel than Tenergy 05 while keeping costs low.
