I've used a lot of different rubbers, but this one's elasticity and spin were outstanding.
Despite how much it bounces, the ball holds on the sponge well, so I'd say the control is pretty decent too.
The sponge is softer than Hurricane's sponge, but it's still on the firm side, so beginners, intermediate players, and women's players might find it hard to use.
It's a rubber for advanced players, and depending on how you use it, it can outperform Tenergy.
I'm currently using the JP01, but this made me feel like it might be worth switching.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This review is based on a sample.
Being a tacky rubber, it doesn't bounce like a tension rubber, but it still bounces plenty. Not bad at all as a tacky-tension rubber.
The sound isn't the high-pitched tension-rubber sound, but rather that characteristic tacky-rubber "thwack," yet it doesn't have that sticky, tacky feel. Maybe it's lightly tacky? Even without that sticky feel, it still gets plenty of spin, so the ball draws a nice arc without flying too high.
It feels a bit like a sibling to the Dignics 09C.
If a rubber like this had existed back in the speed-glue era, it probably would have been unstoppable.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

For topspin drives close to the table, this is flawless. It doesn't bounce as much as Tenergy and doesn't spin quite as much as Fastarc G-1, but it still spins more than Tenergy while producing sharper, faster balls than Fastarc G-1.
My impression is that it specializes in generating spin by using your opponent's incoming spin rather than putting spin on yourself from scratch.
For the short game, both stops and pushes land cleanly on the table.
It feels a bit on the harder side, so it might be a little tricky for beginners or lady players to handle.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Speed is no problem. It doesn't grip quite as much as Fastarc, but it feels like it bites more than the V-15.
The sponge is softer than the X51, so control wasn't an issue either. I'm actually using it on my backhand now.
Even paired with a hard blade like the Hurricane Long, it handles the opponent's hard shots fine and makes countering easy too.
Before this I was using Fastarc G1, but I think this rubber handles everything smoothly from the short game to topspin rallies — it doesn't care whether you play close to the table, mid-distance, or away from it.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I've used every rubber in the Tenergy series, and as always, this is one I wouldn't want beginners to use.
The spin comes on by itself and the speed picks up too, so it can give you the illusion that you've gotten stronger, but in reality the ball isn't being hit with your own power — you can tell the player is being pushed around by the rubber.
Since the feel is different from hitting under your own power, I think it's better to use this only after you've built up solid fundamentals.
Only after your fundamentals are in place, once you use it, do you really understand what a good rubber and its true performance feel like.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
