This felt a bit different from the same maker's 007 and 009. Compared to the 007, which has a thicker topsheet and is quite easy to attack with for an OX rubber, and the 009, which has a slightly firmer sponge and is even easier to attack with, my first impression hitting with this one was that it's very susceptible to the opponent's spin. The sponge is very soft — it almost feels like it absorbs the ball rather than returning it. Used on the backhand of a shakehand blade, it makes the push really easy to do, and there's quite a bit of wobble and curve in the ball's flight. I felt this suits shakehand backhand pips better than penhold pips. I've used the whole Phantom series, but this rubber alone has a distinctly different character. It's one for connoisseurs.

I'd say this is basically "the middle of the road is the best," if that makes sense.
This is a review of the OX (no sponge) version.
It doesn't really have much of a distinct character or quirks — it can do everything, a totally standard, run-of-the-mill long pips rubber. If I had to point out one thing, it would be that it's quite low-bounce. Whether you can chop well or attack well with it comes down to the player's own skill and setup. Very easy to use overall.
It doesn't have that plasticky feel that a lot of Chinese long pips rubbers tend to have — the pips are on the harder side, with a rubbery elasticity you can actually feel. Topspin pushes, chop-blocks, attacking — it can do it all. Durability is good too. Pushing is hard with the OX version though.
If you feel like you've hit a wall relying purely on blocking with the pips, and you want to try mixing things up to level up your game, I think this rubber will really back you up.
There's nothing to lose by trying it. Next I want to try the 0.5 and 0.7mm versions too.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It's soft and easy to put spin on. When you bounce the ball on it, it has a kind of hollow, poc-poc sound. The top ply tends to peel, so it's a good idea to coat it with a blade protector. The handle is on the thin side, with a cross-section closer to round than oval. This is the type of blade where the rubber does the work of sending the ball, not the blade's own power.
