    Some sheets last over six months, while others can start falling apart right out of the wrapper. The weight is inconsistent too.
    I had this on a discontinued ALC blade for a bit over two years, and it let me produce serves and spin returns that could hold their own even at the top level in my prefecture.
    A powerful player can hit it sharply and get good drive control, but the moment you're pushed even slightly off the table, you have to swing all-out on every ball.
    That said, control on shots that don't involve much swing speed, like blocks, is lacking.
    Because the ball sinks in so well, the short game is affected by spin far more than usual. Sharp, low pushes are really easy to produce with it.

    Great performance for the price. I've only ever used the black sheet, so I can't speak to the red one.
    The rubber is heavy, so unless you pair it with a light blade and a lighter tension rubber on the other side, I don't think you could get through back-to-back matches.

    I used this once, right when it first came out.
    It worked really well with speed glue, and I could produce shots with real bite, but the handling wasn't all that great. The feel on contact wasn't great either.
    My impression was that it's a budget version of the Hurricane Pro 3, but I wonder how it plays without speed glue. Probably hopelessly lacking in bounce.

    How should I put it — the spin is exactly what you'd expect from short pips. As you'd expect from TSP's pips.
    I used it for two weeks back when speed glue was still allowed, and the ball was definitely fast. But that's about it.
    The touch is pretty bad too — the ball has no bite, so if the opponent even backs off a little, they can easily smash it back.

    Back when organic solvent glue was still allowed, I used this for less than a month, but I did use it.
    The handling was fairly good and it had a good ball-holding feel, so I didn't miss much, but it lacked reach and sharpness. With other rubbers that spin well, if I chopped a push hard the opponent almost never smashed the third ball hard, but with this rubber, no matter how much spin I put on the push, they'd still smash it. I even switched to my other side just for serves and cutting pushes.

    My overall impression is that it's a control rubber with a lot of bounce...
