The sharpness of the topspin drive is fantastic. Honestly, the bounce is good enough that you can score just by smashing flat, but that lowers your spin and defeats the point of using tacky rubber, so if you're going to use an expensive blade like this, I think you shouldn't take the easy route — hitting with a proper brushing motion is what keeps you from wasting its potential.
The balance point sits well toward the grip, and in terms of flex when hitting a drive, it goes Timo Boll > Zhang Jike > Viscaria — compared to similar blades, the flex is weaker and it doesn't seem to give you as much distance. That might be exactly why it lands on the table so easily and pairs well with tacky rubber.
Handling in the short game is no problem, but for the chiquita, players with small hands might have trouble getting a firm grip because the handle is thick. Actually, I found the chiquita easier on the Zhang Jike.
I think this is a blade suited to players who hit drives and chiquitas without using much wrist.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

These are my thoughts after using V>15 Extra first.
I used this on the backhand side. With Extra, I struggled to lift low balls, especially underspin, but with Stiff it lifts naturally. The trajectory is stable, similar to Fastarc C1. The push has just as much bite and the stop stays just as short as with Extra. The chiquita holds the ball slightly longer than Extra, making it easier to put sidespin on. Speed drops a little, but you could say it's easier to vary your pace. The hardness is just right for intermediate players, and the ball quality from mid-distance is high too. In terms of overall power - combining speed and spin - I'd say it's on par with Extra.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I normally use a Viscaria plus Hurricane. I bought the Nittaku version, 89g.
Since it's a Ma Long blade, I was picturing a fast-flying inner blade, but the hitting feel is more like a tap-tap Inner Force Layer ALC, and ball release goes Viscaria > Inner ZLC >> Long 5.
I was at least expecting something on the level of an Ovtcharov inner, so the sheer mildness of it threw me off.
A notable trait is that it doesn't resonate much in your hand — there's not much hitting sensation. I think it does grip the ball, but there's not much feel to it, and it flexes quite a bit. After trying various things, I found that with regular tension rubber it grips the ball too much and the release timing gets tricky. So the best setup ended up being either a hard tacky rubber on both sides, or tacky tension rubber. This is a blade for power hitters who can commit to swinging at 80% all the time.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

Compared to MX-P, this rubber naturally produces more arc. It has a bit of an automatic feel to it, closer to Tenergy 05. The feel of grabbing the ball and the consistency of the ball quality are both top-tier. It's more expensive than G1 or V15 at retail, but it has the quality to back that up. I'd recommend an outer-type blade for it. You can make the most of its grip and really commit to covering the ball and attacking hard.

I switched over from Hurricane.
It holds its own against Hurricane and has a higher arc than Tenergy 05, so the ball doesn't drop. Even if you counter from a low contact point, the ball still lifts up like a tacky rubber would, so you can turn any situation into a rally.
The bounce is strong, so you get more spin by catching the ball and then releasing it rather than swinging hard, meaning you don't even need much of a backswing.
In the short game, it comes back with just a light touch, so it's easier when you think about recovering position. Since the spin comes mainly from the sponge, the sheet itself stays normal in a good way. Stops and sidespin pushes are easy to do, and mixing in pushes and flicks lets you produce natural feints.
It's a really great rubber that doesn't over-grip, but grips exactly when you want it to.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
