    My Imperial XS felt like it was getting worn out, so I picked this as a replacement spin-oriented short pips (tension) rubber.
    This is my second TSP rubber...

    - Speed
    A touch slower than the Imperial, but still plenty fast.
    Smashes also produce good shots depending on your swing.

    - Spin
    Not quite as much as inverted rubber, but I could put spin on it with almost no discomfort.
    Topspin drives seem to depend a lot on skill...
    Pushes bite in fine if you try to put backspin on them.

    - Control
    This is pretty good.
    It's easy to place the ball where you're aiming, and it's less affected by the opponent's spin than inverted rubber is, so it's easier to use than inverted. (just my personal impression)

    - Overall impression
    It was ranked high on this site, so I bought it with high expectations.
    As a result, my technique improved and it suited me fairly well, so I'm mostly satisfied.
    However, when I lent it to a senior who plays shakehand inverted-on-both-sides attacking style, his smashes had trouble going in and he made a few more rally mistakes, so it's probably a rubber that doesn't produce much of an arc. (though that might be true of short pips in general)
    So if it's your first time using short pips, it might take some time to get used to.

    I used this on my forehand with short pips. (Not much on the backhand.)

    Serves come out with spin that's every bit as good as high-elasticity inverted rubber, plus more stability.
    Rallies are very easy to control, probably thanks to the soft sponge, so you can keep them going.
    Smashes come with a lot of power thanks to the high speed performance. Just hit a bit harder and you get that satisfying smash feel.
    Drives brush the ball with a feel almost the same as inverted rubber, which made them easy to hit.
    Pushes are stable and feel good too.
    Backhand drives are easier than with inverted rubber.

    That said, for a short pips rubber it's fairly sensitive to incoming spin, so you do need to be careful.
    Still, I think the spin, speed, and control are top-class for short pips, so I can recommend it to short pips players on either forehand or backhand.
    It also seems like a good fit for switching over from inverted rubber.
    The downside is that the lifespan is a bit on the short side.

    That's it — from a beginner playing short pips on the forehand.

    I used this on my backhand when I was starting out in table tennis.

    - Speed
    It doesn't match a tension rubber, but I got plenty of speed for what I needed.
    If anything, this moderate level of speed might be just right.

    - Spin
    The grip on the ball is good, so serves were easy too.
    Pushes were stable as well.

    - Control
    Feels good.
    Lands on the table consistently.

    - Summary
    I'd especially recommend this for beginners and people new to the sport, but it's not that rare to see intermediate players using it either, so I think it has real potential. That said, once you get used to tension rubbers, the bounce here starts to feel a bit lacking.

    I used this on the backhand, with short pips on my forehand.
    I picked this rubber more out of curiosity, on a whim really, but it's turned out to be pretty easy to use.

    - Rallies
    The top sheet is soft, but the sponge is firm, so it's easy to play with.
    That said, if you take the power off your shot, the ball tends to drop short.

    - Pushes
    This might be affected by temperature too, but if you just tap the ball onto the rubber it doesn't pop up much, so it's more stable if you lift it slightly.

    - Backhand topspin drive
    This also goes in better if you put a bit more power behind it.
    It draws a relatively clean arc, which is nice.

    - Smash (forehand)
    On smashes, you really feel the ball grip the rubber.
    That's probably what makes it easy to use, but I feel like swinging faster gives you a more ideal smash.

    - Summary
    Since I switched to this from Bryce Speed, at first the way the ball popped up a bit bothered me,
    but I think the more you use it, the more you appreciate how good (and easy to use) it is.
    As I mentioned, the top sheet is soft, so you get that "gripping" feeling.

    If you're not too particular about speed, this might be nice for the backhand. Recommended.

    I saw a lot of reviews saying it was really good in terms of speed, so I bought it. (Max thickness)
    *This review focuses mainly on the backhand.

    - Rallies
    The arc feels a bit flat.
    Not really an issue once you get used to it.
    With light shots you don't get excess speed, so it's not hard to control.

    - Push
    This is great!
    Not just how easy it is to land, the near-flat arc and speed feel great to hit.

    - Touch (short push)
    Even in hot weather it bounces just the right amount, so it's easy to use.
    It seems to combine with the "grab and release" effect, since it really bites and cuts the ball.

    - Backhand drive
    The speed feels like a bit much, but it's not unusable.
    I think it'll be fine once you get used to it.

    - Summary
    I used it on my backhand paired with an Impartial XS blade, and I got more spin than I expected, which actually improved my technique.
    That said, it took some time to adjust when I switched from this rubber to a control-oriented tension rubber.
    Other than the slightly flat arc, it's a good rubber overall.
    Might be good for a fast-attack style?
