I used this rubber for about a month and compared it on an outer-ply blade versus an all-wood blade.
My honest impression at the time was that it didn't feel like the same rubber.
When I first used it on the outer-ply blade, I did get speed and a sharp ball when I hit it properly, but the ball left the rubber very quickly and I ended up netting a lot of shots.
Next, when I put it on a 7-ply all-wood blade, it held the ball well, gave a high arc and good distance — to the point where it held the ball enough to cause overshoot misses.Given my own hitting style and feel, it was like an unruly horse on the outer-ply blade and a model student on the all-wood blade, but of course others might feel exactly the opposite.
That said, what I felt most about this rubber is that it's heavily influenced by which blade you pair it with.
The topsheet is strong and won't lose out to the opponent's spin, loops get plenty of spin, and even hitting hard rarely causes loss of power or slipping — it's a high-performance rubber, but I think it's one that clearly divides people into love-it-or-hate-it camps.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I'd been using Tenergy 25, and this time I tried Tenergy 25 FX for the first time.
After hitting a few balls, even though it's the FX version, the feel was a bit harder than I expected.
It seemed like the 25's topsheet is what's giving it that firmness.Overall, the rubber has very few quirks. I could create the arc I wanted, and thanks to the softer sponge, flat hits, smashes, and loops all became easier to execute.
In particular, the feel for lifting backspin balls is very easy to grasp, so I'd especially recommend it to anyone who's been bothered by how quickly the ball comes off the rubber since the switch to plastic balls.
I mostly used it on my forehand, but the short game doesn't get out of control either — overall it's a wonderfully well-balanced rubber.

Being a STIGA hardwood blade, it's hard, as expected.
That said, in the short game it doesn't get out of control the way you'd expect from wood — it stays true. It's a strange sensation where you only really feel the bounce when you hit hard.
I use the ST grip, which is rounded and on the thicker side, so it might suit players who like to hold it firmly.
For an all-wood blade it has a lot of pop, so I think players with more power will be able to bring out its full potential.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

These are my impressions from trying this rubber on an acquaintance's racket.
I felt this rubber pairs well with plastic balls, which are harder than the old celluloid ones.
The short game, drives, and serves are all easy to do, and topspin-type techniques draw a solid arc.
The speed isn't especially fast, but if you hit it hard, you can still produce a fast ball.
My impression from hitting with it was that it's a rubber with little energy loss and no real quirks.
No technique feels particularly hard to pull off, and I don't think it's an unruly, hard-to-tame rubber.
That said, while its potential is very high, it's also fairly hard and of course gets affected by the opponent's spin, so I felt it's better suited to intermediate players and above.
Also, there don't seem to be many blades it pairs poorly with, so it's an easy option to consider.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

A friend of mine uses this, and I borrowed it to try. Here are my thoughts.
First of all, the flex is amazing.
It made me wonder if the flex alone is what's sending the ball flying.
It's definitely not a fast blade, but it holds the ball enough that you can even overshoot.
I felt it would suit players who focus on spin.
Because it doesn't bounce much, shots stay on the table, which makes it feel easy to aim for specific spots, and the feel is pleasant too.
I also felt it would work well with short pips or long pips.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft
