Overall it feels easy to use, no matter what technique you're doing.
The sheet grips the ball well, so you can hit loops that force your opponent into overshooting.
At the same time, it's not overly sensitive to incoming spin, so it's easy to push through on short receives too.
I'd say the consistency is on the high end among rubbers made for plastic balls.
If you play penhold looper style, I really think you should try this at least once.
It should pair well with a straight wood blade for sure.Overall Speed Spin Control

It's like a Ma Lin Carbon with an extra veneer layer added on top.
It's heavier than the regular Ma Lin Carbon.
However, because of that added layer it's an inner-carbon construction, so it doesn't feel like a super-stiff all-carbon blade.
The rebound is good, but it still retains a plywood-like feel, so surprisingly you can hit normal loop drives with it too.
I don't think it suits people who want a super-stiff carbon blade, but I'd recommend it to people who don't mind the weight much and want a special-material blade that still keeps some plywood feel.
That said, if you put max-thickness rubbers like Tenergy on both sides, it gets close to 190 grams, so you'll need a fair amount of strength or swinging it will be tough.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

This is my first post.
I'd been using Butterfly's Chang Pon Long, but decided to switch to a Chinese penhold blade, so I bought this.
My first impression hitting with it: I'd been using a single-ply blade with a fairly hard rubber before, and this one doesn't bounce as much as I expected.
That said, thanks to that lack of bounce, I find the short game, like pushes, easier to do.The blade itself is very light, so it might be a good option for people who want to put rubber on both sides.

I decided to go back to basics and switched to this.
Compared to tension rubbers, the amount of spin and speed is lower, but even accounting for that, the stability is outstanding.
I can now hit balls that I could never hit with a tension rubber like Tenergy, and it's almost funny how well it works.
In my case it might also be because I used to play with this kind of rubber before, but for anyone who feels tension rubbers bounce too much to control, I'd really recommend trying this at least once.
If it doesn't bounce enough, you can adjust with thickness, and it's also lighter than tension rubbers.
(I'm currently using max thickness.)Overall Speed Spin Control

I use this on the forehand side of a Chinese penhold blade.
It's just so easy to put spin on, and the consistency that comes from that is outstanding.
That said, I think it's hard to use well unless you can swing through properly.
Also, for topspin drives, I'd say don't bother with this unless you already have the feel for sinking the ball into the sponge and brushing it.
I'd really recommend it to people who are used to the feel of rubbers like Sriver.Overall Speed Spin Control
