    A friend of mine had it, so I borrowed it and gave it a try.
    The feel is different from both Tenergy and the German rubbers.
    To me it felt like the ball was actually being caught on the sponge.
    I think it's a feel that will split people into love-it-or-hate-it camps.
    It's soft and easy to control, but the spin itself doesn't feel all that high.
    Personally it wasn't a feel I got along with,
    but for people who like it, it might be irresistible.

    This blade is hard. Just really hard, and it's got a lot of speed.
    It bounces about as much as a carbon blade.
    That said, the hardness feels a little different from a carbon blade's hardness.
    When I switched over from a carbon blade (Gergely Alpha) while keeping the same rubber, I noticed that at the moment of impact there was this brief holding, sticky kind of feeling.
    The thickness is also on the thinner side for a 7-ply, at 6.2mm, so I felt a bit of flex, which gave it a strange, unique feel.
    That said, among pure wood blades, this is definitely top-class in terms of speed, but it feels like a wild, quirky blade with a really distinct character.
    I haven't tried it with tacky rubber, but I have a feeling it would pair better with a tacky rubber that has a bit more give rather than a super hard, stiff tacky rubber.

    First off, this isn't just a soft rubber.
    I use it on the backhand of my shakehand blade, and in a good way, it's not very sensitive to the opponent's spin.
    Receives and blocks are easy to do.
    Compared to a hard spin-oriented tension rubber or a tacky rubber, it doesn't generate as much spin, but overall it's easy to use and has no quirks, giving the impression of a rubber with no real weaknesses.
    I think it's a rubber that mainly shines on the backhand of a shakehand blade or the reverse side of a penhold blade.
    By the way, the weight is around 40g in Butterfly's regular size, which is quite light, so I think it would work well for a female player using it on both sides too.

    I borrowed a junior teammate's blade and gave it a try. I normally use shakehand, and these are my impressions from comparing it to what I usually use.

    First, seeing it in person, the blade felt thinner than I expected.
    When I actually hit with it, I could really feel the flex.
    Thanks to the ALC, the overall feel on contact is on the harder side, but the bounce doesn't feel all that strong.
    It gives the impression of a blade that gets its distance from the flex, so I think you need to play relatively close to the table to get the most out of it.
    For the short game and serving, the lack of bounce actually makes things easier, and it felt like a special-material blade that doesn't get in the way of delicate touch shots.

    That said, even though it doesn't have much bounce, the strong flex means that even a dropped contact point on a loop can still produce a good shot, so if you struggle with connecting balls, it might be worth trying once.

    This is my impression after borrowing it and trying it out for a bit.

    Personally it didn't feel all that hard.
    It has a certain hardness, but it doesn't feel hard — that was my first impression.

    If you hit it flat you get speed, and if you brush it you get spin easily — an all-round solid rubber, I'd say.

    Compared to high-end rubbers I think the absolute spin level is lower, but on the flip side it's somewhat forgiving of incoming spin, so you don't have to be nervous about blocks or receives.
    Maybe because it's a well-balanced rubber that lets you both grip the ball and brush it, it seems like a lot of people put it on the backhand of a shakehand.
    It might not be enough for players with a lot of power or those looking for sharp forehand performance, but I think it's a solid all-rounder that works regardless of playing style.

    The feel has that somewhat thick, German-made character, so that might be a point where opinions differ.
