No one had written a review yet, so here goes! I switched to it and used it today.
Features
◎ Stops dead in the short game
Coming from a tension rubber, it really doesn't have much speed. Instead, my stops land dead on the spot. The opponent's return was so short they almost stumbled. I couldn't win points by hitting hard in the match, but I won with a short game that had no distance on it.
◎ The feel is fine within a usable range
I thought it would be too hard to use, but it's usable within a certain range.
Caution
★The key point of this rubber is that the ball pops up extremely high, so it's easy to overshoot. So if you swing from low to high, or just try to connect with the ball, you'll get overshoot after overshoot. I think you need to swing forward and hit horizontally with force to bring out its potential.Overall, I think the key to this rubber is whether you can make good use of that high pop-up. I plan to use it for about a month and write another review!

I'm currently torn between this and STIGA's Infinity.
A harder rubber probably suits it best.
Right now I've got a tacky rubber on it.
That said, a lot of these blades weigh over 90g, so many people probably need to use a lighter rubber on the backhand to make it workable.
It's got good ball hold and drives really extend through the shot. Since it's got a lot of bounce, you'll need technique to cover controlled shots like blocks and the short game.
It doesn't feel much like plastic ball at all, so I think it's a great blade to recommend right now.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I used to use the Carbonade 45.
Compared to the Carbonade 45, this one flies way more.
Good points
Since it flies so much, lob shots go right through
You can hit fast balls without putting in much power
An advanced player can hit razor-sharp topspin drives with it
The short game is more usable than you'd expect
The blade design has a premium feelDifficult points
If your impact is weak, the ball just drops
The feel is hard, so control is difficult
You need quite a bit of skill
Hard to get the ball to sink into the sponge
I felt the backhand was harder to land - since it's hard, there isn't much sense of gripping the ballOverall, this is an advanced, attacking blade. I wanted to use it, but it was a bit difficult. I think it pairs well with Tenergy.

Using the Chinese-penhold 78g version. I moved over from the Infinity.
Even at hardness 45, there's quite a lot of speed. It has more speed than the Infinity, but even with all that flight, the short game still stays under control. I used to have Shoryu on it, but when I switched to Hurricane Neo 3, this blade completely transformed. It generates the most spin I've ever gotten out of any setup. The blade makes up for the bounce, so it's an outstanding combination. Serves and pushes are the strongest part, but on the other hand, tension rubbers are easier to use for rallies. Highly recommended for tacky-rubber users! Mizuno's GF PRO was also good - it worked well with hard rubbers.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

It's not quite as fast as Butterfly's Bryce Speed, but it's a distinctive rubber with speed that's close behind.
That said, it also gets plenty of spin.
The downside is it's hard and tricky to get the ball to land in. I couldn't quite master it myself.
For advanced players with a stable, consistent stroke, this might be the strongest option out there.
It's not expensive either, so why not give it a try?Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
