I've used this for a few years now and have gotten better at matching it to my own physical ability, so I've made some new discoveries and wanted to post about it.
First off, this blade flies like crazy. Compared to something like Butterfly's inner-ALC blades, for example, this one feels like it flies even more. Rather than going with a famous inner-carbon blade, I think this is a good pick if you don't want to use the same thing as everyone else, lol.
I bought this as my second blade about a year after starting table tennis (I was in junior high at the time), but back then I couldn't bring out its full performance.
A big reason was that I just didn't have much muscle strength myself. I'd recommend this blade to people who already have a decent amount of strength. So I wouldn't really recommend it to junior high kids who aren't very built yet. Also, the grip is fairly big, so it might be hard to hold for kids still growing.
On the flip side, once I got to high school and built up more muscle and a bigger frame, I started to think it was a really great blade. I'd recommend it to kids switching blades once they reach high school.The top ply is hard, so light shots make a toy-like sound, but when you swing a full topspin drive it makes this metallic clang like it's about to crack the ball open, which is fun.

I got to try a friend's racket.
I use tacky rubber with an all-wood blade, so honestly I figured Tenergy on an inner-carbon blade would just fly everywhere and be unusable.
It's a monster.
Even swinging with everything I've got, the ball flies in a high arc. And it goes in.
With my tacky rubber and wood blade, hitting at even 50-80% power would send the ball flying way out.
On top of that, it has this insane carry.
With tacky rubber, the way the ball flies changes shot to shot—sometimes hitting it full power just clips it and it loses carry, or a desperate last-second reach suddenly has crazy carry—but with this, even when you hit it with a sharp "clack," it carries through like crazy. And it still goes in. It's ridiculous. Of course you're going to win using something like this. If you can afford it, there's no reason not to use it.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is a good rubber, honestly. It's not as bad as people say online. I switched over from a hardcore tension rubber, and what I felt on day one was this awful lack of bounce. I tried to rally, hit a basic forehand serve on the first ball, and the ball just went "plop, plop" — I burst out laughing. Also, the way you cut the ball is different from tension rubber, so my serves had no spin on day one. But by day two or so, it's like day one never happened — it starts bouncing almost like a tension rubber. You start to get the feel for cutting the ball, and your drives start spinning too. It really feels like the strongest rubber out there, lol. The one issue is that smashes feel weirdly slow. It's an uncomfortable sensation. But once you get past that, it's honestly better than a normal tension rubber, like a god-tier rubber. I'd say you should definitely try it. Oh, but if you're using a light blade and feel like you don't have much muscle strength, I'd say definitely avoid this. Your impact gets weaker and it just turns into a garbage rubber.

I've got it on my backhand. This rubber bounces quite well and spins a lot too. It's rated at 45 hardness, but it feels more like 40 to me? It's easy to use and reasonably priced, so if you're thinking about buying it, I'd recommend it.
That said, maybe I just got a bad unit, but when I push, it feels weird — kind of like the ball drops or doesn't come out right. Once you get used to it, you can do a spinny stop from a chiquita-style setup, like Harimoto does. Once you're used to it, it becomes a powerful weapon.
And with chiquita or a normal backhand shot, the ball flies out normally and doesn't drop, you know?
So it's only the push that turns into risky table tennis. That's what makes it a kind of interesting rubber. You can do that "Harimoto-style" spinny stop that you can't do with a normal rubber, haha.
This is the second time I'm writing this, but if you're considering buying it, I recommend it. Definitely give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is an early review, so I'll admit up front I'm probably only pulling out a tenth of this rubber's real performance, if that. If you're okay with that, read on.
First, as for whether this rubber is worth the price... I think it's definitely worth buying. Here are the techniques I found impressive, starting from the top.
Serve
The serve is fantastic. If you want to cut it, you get more spin than you'd expect from your own feel. If you want to keep it low and floaty, it flies up so much you'd think it had topspin on it.
Short-game defense (stop, push)
The sheet grabs the ball firmly, so pushes work fine. Stop is the opposite — the sheet brushes past the ball smoothly and it stops dead with solid spin.
Third-ball attack
For the third ball, it's better to smash through with a solid impact. Looping might be a bit tricky.
Flick
If you get a solid impact, you get a solid result. Train it and it'll become really impressive.
Mid-distance drive
The amount of spin is amazing, but when I drop back to mid-distance I tend to end up on the defensive a lot, and countering from there is difficult. Driving from close to the table was way easier for me.At this point I've only hit with it for a few hours, so once I get more of a feel for it I'd like to review it again.
