    I went with Butterfly's recommended rubber combo exactly as suggested, but it just doesn't bounce lol

    Forehand hitting: Stable, but if you don't swing fast the ball falls short. Also, it's pretty jarring on the hand, so your wrist might start to hurt.
    Push: The push is stable too. Even if you put everything into the spin, it won't go long.
    Topspin drive: With a half-hearted swing, the ball arcs and drops into the net before clearing it — though that might partly be the rubber's fault. If you swing more like a full swing, it draws a proper arc and lands on the table. I think a stroke that doesn't rub too much or hit too flat works best.
    Serve: You need to be careful with this one. If you serve with your usual feel it'll go into the net lol. That said, it makes short serves easier to produce.
    Chop: The stability is excellent. It handles smashes without any trouble. But with a low-bounce rubber like Tackiness Chop, you have to push the ball out a bit more when hitting, which makes it a little harder to put spin on. I think it takes some practice to get the spin going.

    If you're pairing rubbers with this blade, I'd suggest bouncy high-tension ones like Tenergy or Rozena. The price is a downside too.

    I'm a chopper and use the thin version on my backhand.
    First, the sponge is soft. The pips are soft too, so I think this is a long pips rubber where you can put spin on the ball yourself.

    Push: Since it's long pips, it doesn't bite as much as inverted rubber, but I'd say it bites well for a long pips rubber. Also, if you don't angle the racket face down, it goes into the net.
    Chop: Outstanding stability. It absorbs hard smashes well too.
    Punch block: This rubber might not be great for this. Even among long pips rubbers, it's fairly susceptible to incoming spin.
    Block: This is also absorbed well, like the chop. Shots land quite short.

    What impressed me was how stable the chopping is, even among long pips rubbers. If you want to stabilize your push or specialize in attacking, I'd recommend the Feint Long 2 instead.

    As a chopper, I used the thin version on my backhand.
    What stood out was the combination of a hard sponge at 38° on the Butterfly scale and hard pips.

    Push: pretty consistent. It goes in even without closing the racket angle, and it has decent bounce, so it was really easy to use. Just note that it doesn't really put backspin on the ball.
    Chop: whether it's easy to use depends on the person. If you're used to soft long pips, you might feel like this one bounces too much.
    Punch block: very easy to do. Since the pips are hard, they're less affected by incoming spin, and because it bounces, it rarely goes into the net.
    Block: not much change in spin, but knuckle balls sink in deep, so you can cramp your opponent.
    Topspin drive: I tried driving with it too lol. Even against topspin, it felt easy enough among long pips rubbers that I thought "wait, is this inverted rubber? lol"

    Just my personal opinion, but I felt the pips wear out fast. With Feint Long 3, the pips never tore even after six months of use, but with this one the part where my finger hits wore through in about three months, so I think its lifespan is short. Still, I get why the pros use it.
