    I've got this on the forehand of a reverse-penhold blade. Serves in particular grip spin almost as much as inverted rubber. The first time I switched to this rubber and practiced with my coach, I was able to put so much spin on my serves that my coach thought I'd switched to inverted rubber.
    Naturally, drives during rallies are the same way, and it's also gotten easier to drop back and trade topspin drives.
    That said, the ball leaves the rubber a bit slower than a typical short pips rubber (like the Spectrum), so it is somewhat more affected by the opponent's spin, but that's offset by the benefits.

    It almost never turns into an accidental knuckle ball, but you can definitely produce one on purpose if you want to. If you want to use the knuckle ball as a weapon, I'd recommend the XB instead.

    Durability might be a little weak — after a month of use, a few of the pips have already chipped. I'm planning to use it a bit longer and then try the max-thickness version of the same rubber.
