I used this mounted on my Infinity. What's best about it is that, for the performance you get, the price is a real bargain! Yasaka is great for keeping prices so reasonable!
As for performance, it's a tacky rubber that generates speed, but I also think it gets plenty of spin. Short game shots stop well, and smashes fly through properly. Now that Skyline has been discontinued, I feel like this rubber is the closest thing to it. Stop shots are also really easy to do.
I think this would be great for junior high or high schoolers making their first switch to a tacky rubber. It paired perfectly with my Infinity.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This review is for use on the reverse side of a Chinese penhold with inverted rubber on both sides.
Before this rubber I was using Tenergy 80 and Rozena. To me, Tenergy 80 had always been the best backhand rubber there was.
Dignics 05 has now topped it!
What surprised me
- The spin when brushing the ball thinly with the sheet is top-level. The grip on the ball when brushing thin, like for chiquita or serves, was head and shoulders above the rest.
- The arc is insane, the ball just rises on its own.
Points to watch
- It's easy to overhit. There's a knack to how you have to hit it. To put it dramatically, you almost have to hit it low enough to skim the net and let it arc in perfectly.
- A connecting/rally-style topspin drive is difficult. If you just want something easy to keep in play, I think Rozena is the easiest. To bring out the best in this rubber, you need to really impact the ball hard and really brush the sheet hard. That part really does take an advanced player.
*By the way, on the forehand the feel is different — the Spring Sponge X makes the ball sink in too much, and it didn't suit me since I like a harder rubber. (I currently use Rasanter R53 on my forehand.)
*This is my new best backhand rubber. It's a bit hard, so I'm thinking of trying Dignics 80 next.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Among the Ma Lin series, this one has a soft feel and is easy to use. I used to use the Innerforce ALC before, and the character feels similar. It's reasonably priced. I think Butterfly's version might be slightly better, but this one should be good enough up to intermediate level.

I used to be an equipment junkie, but this well-balanced blade made that stop.
Pros
The backhand (reverse side) is easy to swing
It can do everything. If there's something you find hard to do with this blade, it's more likely a skill issue on your part
It keeps even a slightly wild rubber under control. I personally went with Dignics 80 max thickness on a penhold looper.
Cons
Compared to Viscaria-type outer blades, the power feels a bit lacking. It flies plenty well, but Viscaria-type blades let you overpower opponents more with the forehand. On the other hand, it's easy to use the backhand the way Tomokazu Harimoto does.
It's an honor-student type of blade, so your playing style tends to become pretty standard - an all-around, "all 4.5" kind of blade that can do a bit of everything.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I think most people probably can't use this unless the blade is a bit on the softer side. At first I paired it with a Timo Boll ALC and it was way too hard to use. Switching to an Inspiera Hybrid Carbon made it perfect. The rubber grips the ball incredibly well — or, put less kindly, it's a very sensitive rubber — so a softer, more forgiving blade works best. It feels close to a Chinese rubber loaded up thick with glue. You need a solid amount of impact, but if you're good at serving, you can produce absolutely nasty amounts of spin on your serves.
