My friend uses this, so I'll talk about it from the receiving end. Both drives and smashes come in too fast to return. The arc is low but the shots are incredibly sharp. And on top of that they land in with such good balance that it almost made me tear up for a second. The performance is amazing. Bottom line, it's a rubber you really don't want to face.

My first impression was the spin. When you hit a speed drive with it, you get insane shots that combine both spin and speed.
That said, once it turns into a rally, the speed inevitably drops off, making it harder to land a finishing shot. Serves bite really well, and knuckle serves were very easy to produce.
On the backhand side, the chiquita was insane. It got so much spin that opponents couldn't even take it.
It has so much bounce that I'm still hitting a lot of shots long.
Lastly, the thing I personally liked best was the counter. Just flicking it on the forehand produces tremendous speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I'm using this on the reverse side of a Chinese penhold blade. As long as I don't hit some weird spot, rallies stay stable.
Forehand drive... it doesn't grip as much as inverted rubber, but the speed is really fast. The trajectory is low and straight, so once you've picked your course, you can put the ball away in one shot.
Serve... it bites almost as sharply as inverted rubber. I'm currently using Fastarc P-1, so let me compare (sorry, Nittaku). P-1 has more spin, but this one is more stable, so I serve with the Impartial.
Reverse-side play... this is the main point. Rallies are as I described above. I think inverted rubber is better suited for the chiquita.
That said, I felt drives had good speed and stayed stable without popping up too much, which I liked.
I thought short pips generally don't get affected much by incoming spin, but among short pips rubbers, this one is on the more affected side.
For a short pips rubber it's super aggressive, which is amazing!!!
It's high-performance, so give it a try at least once.
I hadn't written any downsides, so let me note them now. It's not suited for chopping. Pushes don't go in very well — probably because it doesn't have much grip on the ball.
Well, once you get used to it, drives start landing really well and the spin gets absolutely brutal, so I genuinely recommend it.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Well, it's supposedly meant for beginners, but it's totally usable regardless. Compared to tension rubbers there's less spin, but since it doesn't bounce much, even when you smash as hard as you can it still lands on the table, and you can chop with really heavy backspin and keep it going.
I'd recommend this to people who want to get back to basics, or people whose current rubber bounces too much and keeps causing them to hit long.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The control is far above anything else out there. There are various thicknesses available, but I'd recommend thick. (This rubber is the classic high-bounce option, so I think you can find it at any shop.) I'd recommend it to penholders wanting to learn the backhand reverse technique, and to anyone wanting to build a feel for spin.
