Both the sponge and the pips are on the hard side.
That said, I feel like this rubber has that distinctive non-Bayer feel - like the pips are being kneaded and settled - and it's easy to generate sharp variation with it.
Thanks to that hard feel, close-to-the-table pip techniques are generally easy to pull off, variation comes out really well, and knuckle balls are easy to produce too.
Chops are also easy to cut with bite whether played close to or away from the table, and I felt the ball tends to go low. It seems like the ease of close-to-the-table techniques carries over to the chopping game too.Because the feel is so hard, switching over from something like Desperado or Curl P4 might leave your chop control shaky at first, but once you adjust, you can send over a distinctive ball that opponents really hate to face.
Even for choppers who like to play close to the table and grind it out, or for close-to-the-table pips players, the price might feel a bit high, but I really think this is a rubber worth trying at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

This is the rubber that's even been featured by a certain overseas specialty table tennis shop.
People say it has no bounce, but I think the pips are actually quite aggressive, and if anything it has above-average bounce for a pips rubber.
Compared to other rubbers, the pips lay over more easily, and it feels more focused on sharp spin than on knuckle effects. For a chopper, it's really easy to chop on the backhand and immediately follow up with a two-push once it gets stopped. The chops also have sharp spin and sink slowly, which makes them hard for attacking players to return.
It's a very high-performance rubber, but it's expensive, and the durability isn't great — the pips seem to come loose fairly easily.
I think this is for advanced players, and really more for top-level players.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

Basically it's easy to play any stable style with, and I think it can be matched with any rubber — tacky or tension inverted rubber, short pips, or long pips.
It's a blade that's easy to keep under control, and it combines both attacking and defensive ability. It's not just for chopping — it also generates a lot of spin for counterattacks and long-pips variation play. That said, the Def Play has even more control, so people who lean toward defensive play would be better suited to that one, and blades like the Joo Se-hyuk or Matsushita OFF have more attacking power, so those are better for attack-focused players. But because this blade has a hard feel, I'd recommend it for someone who wants an attack-focused style with a softer feel.
I'd also recommend it to players who want to chop while making use of long pips.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

According to the maker, it has Free's Carbon inside, but the feel is soft enough that you'd hardly notice it. The ball retention is just as good as a wood blade too.
Because of the carbon's rebound, you also feel the ball leaving the rubber quickly on offense. Because of that, I feel like you'd need some practice switching over from defense-focused blades like the Defplay Senso, or thicker blades like the Defense 4.
On the other hand, when chopping, it feels like you can really send the ball where you want, so you can defend solidly when defending, and it gives the impression that you can commit fully when attacking.I mainly use Nittaku's Tilna, but maybe because it's a similarly special-material blade, this one feels quite similar to it. It's a bit harder than the Tilna, and it seems to pair well with soft pips rubbers too.

This rubber was born as Tenergy raised its prices and other companies poured effort into developing their own inverted rubbers, and it's one of the rubbers that's increasingly being accepted by advanced players and top players lately.
My impression is that, maybe to suit the plastic ball, it's less like the trendy spin-oriented tension rubbers and more like a speed-oriented tension rubber such as Narucross or Bryce, with spin added on top to improve it. Because of that, you can hit balls with real destructive power. And it also grips the ball well, so I'd say it's a rubber that lets you stop and push the ball firmly too.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
