I currently play with tacky rubber on both sides.
Even so, the total racket weight including rubber is a surprising low-160-gram range. (I also have side tape on.)
People often say that a light racket gets pushed around, or that with tacky rubber especially you need a heavier racket or it gets tough, but I don't feel any of that at all with this racket.
First of all, my swing speed has clearly gone up, and I can hit nasty drives that combine speed, spin, and forward push all at once. Especially on drives off a push ball, the opponent's blocks rarely come back on both forehand and backhand side.
The short game isn't hard to play either, and touch techniques like smashes and flicks are no problem. The speed really does feel like what you'd expect from an outer blade.
If I had to name a weakness, it'd be that, being balsa, the feel is a bit fuzzy/soft compared to a normal racket.
Oh, and since it's balsa, make sure to put side tape on it!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I used the red 2.0mm on my backhand.
It's soft with a fast ball release, so blocking is incredibly easy. It's also really fast and has excellent handling — that might be its best quality.
When I go for spin on backhand drives, it produces an insane amount of spin, and I could push through my opponent's blocks with spin alone. If you hit it more like a meet shot, you can get both high speed and high spin at the same time, but I felt it lacked a bit of stability that way. (This might just be a technique issue on my part, sorry.)
Pushes bite quite well, but since it's soft and bouncy, they tend to float up a little. I think adjusting your contact point can fix that. Other than that, for receiving in general, I don't think there was any technique that felt particularly hard to do. Flicks that take advantage of the fast ball release feel great.
Overall, it's a fantastic rubber with no real weak points, but it's a bit too expensive to keep using long-term. It might be best to just try it out for a while...

The blade isn't that hard, so a harder rubber seems like a good fit.
First of all, the ball comes off at a high arc. When you really let the ball sink in, the spin is insane - even with a soft tension rubber, your drives get enough spin to blow past the opponent's block (lol)
That said, I did wonder whether it's not so well suited to the grazing-type strokes that hard, tacky-rubber users tend to use, since the blade itself is soft. That might vary from person to person though.
The feel, which resonates nicely in your hand, is also great. Precisely because the bounce isn't that big, it has a lot going for it - easy fine technique, easy spin generation, and the way the ball sinks in even without a particularly strong impact.
I thought it was a wonderful blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

When I first bought it, it was a really great rubber. I used it on my backhand, and the speed and depth of my speed drives were incredible, coming in on a small, stable arc. Once a backhand drive of mine went in, it almost never came back.
Pushes tended to pop up a little, but they still had solid spin on them, which actually caused the opponent to make mistakes (lol). Techniques that take advantage of its fast release, like flicks and blocks, were the best.What concerns me, though, is the lifespan. With tension rubbers I always clean them with rubber cleaner every time and apply a protective sheet. But after about two months, all the speed drives that used to land started going straight into the net. I think the grip must wear down and the arc disappears.
Personally, I felt continued use was tough.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
