    I bought it yesterday and practiced with it for about two hours.
    Push: if you try to put cut on it you get a decent amount of cut, and if you brush it softly it turns into a knuckleball, so I could switch between the two as needed. Being a tension rubber, I expected a gentle stop shot to be hard, but it was easier to control than I thought.

    Short/block: return it in a knuckle-like way and you get a knuckleball, swing lightly and you get a soft floating ball — I could produce whatever ball I wanted depending on how I handled it. Blocking a strong topspin drive just by touching it isn't quite enough — you need to consciously drop the racket a bit or hold back from pushing forward, or you'll get overpowered by the spin. That said, it was still easier to block with than short pips or inverted rubber.

    Push/smash: for a high floating push, just sending it out lightly gets you a nice knuckleball that leaves the racket cleanly. You can also return a floating ball normally with a backhand swing and get a normal return. It doesn't let you miss a chance ball.

    If you're someone who feels held back playing with regular long pips but doesn't want to give up the knuckleball effect, this is the best rubber for you. You won't get the kind of variation where the opponent can't read the spin just from you touching the ball, but for someone who likes to build the point and attack, I think it's very easy to use.
