I use this on the backhand side of my penhold blade.
The ball sinks in nicely and it generates a fair amount of spin. It doesn't have much grip on its own, but on the flip side, it's less affected by the opponent's spin.
Because of that, drive receives and chiquitas are stable. That's honestly the best part.
It's also lightweight. Even with a Chinese rubber on the forehand side, the weight balance doesn't bother me.
I don't really have any complaints, though at an advanced level you might find the spin and speed a bit lacking.
People often say the lifespan is short, and while it's true the rubber chips fairly easily, I don't feel like the actual performance degrades that quickly.

For a "classic" blade, this one seems like it'll split opinion.
First, the feel: it vibrates a lot in your hand. Even more so if you put on OX rubber.
Also, the handle is thick. You can grip it firmly, but switching to a short (stop) is hard. If you want to do a lot of short game work, you might need to sand down the handle.
Also, despite being called all-round, it's fairly heavy, and it bounces about as much as an offensive 5-ply blade. Of course, the control is wonderful too.
It seems well suited to two-winged players who handle their backhand with inverted rubber, but I don't feel it suits penhold pips players very well.
Lastly: if you peel the rubber off carelessly, the wood surface can come off with it, so be careful (T_T)

If you're moving from a normal tension rubber like Roundell to a spin-oriented tension rubber, this is probably the best choice. Honestly, when hitting close to the table, I don't feel much difference from Roundell.
But when you take a step back, add spin, and really send the ball flying, you're blown away by the difference from Roundell in every respect — spin, speed, distance, you name it. It's enough to make you feel like you got better just from changing rubbers.
That said, since it's soft, you lose power easily when you hit with a strong impact. It's not suited to the forehand of a player with a lot of power.
Also, it's a rubber that sinks the ball in and sends it flying on its own, so serves and receives are difficult.

Honestly, I didn't expect it to perform this well.
People call it a control-oriented rubber, but that's only compared to the spin-oriented tension rubbers the top players use. Compared to older tension rubbers like Bryce or Moristo, it's clearly ahead in both spin and speed.
On top of that, it's not very sensitive to incoming spin, so your receives stay stable too.
It's also a lighter rubber, which keeps your swing stable, and the topsheet is tough enough that it doesn't chip easily even if you catch the edge of the table.
For beginner to intermediate players, this is the kind of rubber that makes me want to say: don't bother reaching for a spin-oriented tension rubber you can't handle yet — just use Roundell instead.

I was surprised when I hit with it using the same feel as a Mark V. It bounces enough to feel like a completely different rubber.
Even so, the trajectory is almost the same as the Mark V, so it's fantastic paired with a springy 5-ply blade. The arc is just gorgeous.
It also doesn't have that typical tension-rubber sensation of the ball sinking in and flying off on its own, so your finer techniques stay stable.
The downside is that the spin feels a bit lacking.
The grip on the ball stays about the same level as the Mark V, but with the plastic ball, the spin feels a little weaker.
If this were still the celluloid ball era, it might have been a rubber I'd have wanted to keep using...
