The bounce is on the mild side and it's not that fast. The arc doesn't come automatically either. If you get a bit of a grabbing feel on the ball, the spin is completely different. Personally the feel reminds me of a harder G1 with good grip, and the ball quality is close to G1 too - overall clean, with only occasional erratic balls. Since it doesn't fly too much, topspin rallies are pretty easy to do.
I think more people are extending their swing on the backhand these days, so using it on the backhand or on both sides with K3 is also an option.Spin

As advertised for beginner-to-intermediate players, it seems to suit 3-5 ply wood blades. It's a hybrid energy-type rubber, but the sheet is soft so the grip is on the weak side, and with a heavy blade the spin feels hard to generate. On the flip side, you can feel good control on light shots. I'm hoping Rigan Spin will bring an improvement in grip.
[Serve]
I don't get much of a brushing feeling on backspin serves. It's easy to put on topspin-style wraparound spin, and fake motions are easy to pull off.
[Push]
It's hard to cut the ball, so shots tend to run long.
[Stop]
It doesn't pick up much spin, so it's easy to stop the ball. But since it's soft, double stops tend to pop up. I feel like a knuckle flick suits the stop better.
[Topspin drive]
Easy to grip the ball, so control is high. Unlike a tension rubber, it doesn't grip just by grazing the ball. Even in fast rallies or on counters, you won't get an arc unless you really let the ball sink in. Punching through with one shot is tough.
[Block]
If you meet the ball head-on, it's hard to keep the shot low and short. The sponge is also a bit on the soft side, so it's tough to win points off the power of your blocks. I think you'll score more by shifting your axis and pushing a ball coming crosscourt straight down the line instead.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

It's easy to get a nice arc on the ball, and combined with the good bounce, the balance of stability and power is on another level. It's a bit lacking in speed, but compared to a straight-flying arylate racket, you can hit fast-paced drives with less effort.
The thinner grip makes it easy to angle your blocks, and the backhand drive swing-through is also fantastic. The weight actually works in favor of stability and power rather than against it.
As for rubber, if you can hit from above close to the table, V>15 Extra suits it well. But if you're slow to react and your contact point drops, you might not be able to hit hard, and the racket's performance can suddenly fall off — so I'd recommend Tenergy 80 or Rakza X, which let you get distance and power on drives even when pushed back to mid-distance.
It has 4 layers of special material, but it flexes like wood and feels like one solid piece. The feel is hard, but control is good, and surprisingly it even suits tacky rubbers well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

Switched over from Hurricane.
The heavy ball quality and high trajectory you get from a hard rubber were as expected. The maximum spin dropped a bit, but the speed performance exceeded my expectations — I don't lose out in counters or topspin rallies, and even when blocked I can keep sending heavy balls back one after another.
The sponge is hard, but the sheet is a bit soft — it's a tension rubber with a tacky-rubber-like feel.
For what it's worth, an inner ZLC blade gives a more stable arc than an outer ALC.
On the forehand, compared to 05 Hard: the 05 has more consistent ball quality and is easier to control, while the V20 feels a bit rougher. At first the 05 has more spin, but after 20-30 hours of use it flips around and the V20 grips the ball noticeably more.
Like Hurricane, you can get spin whether you graze the ball or hit into it, which is a relief for tacky-rubber users since you don't have to change your swing.
On the backhand, compared to Dignics 80: the 80 gets its spin from the sheet with the sponge adding speed (though going all the way into the sponge makes it bounce too much), whereas with the V20 sinking into the sponge gives you speed, and the sheet adds a bit of spin on top. Personally, rather than the 80 where everything just flies, I prefer the V20, which is hard and keeps the short game more controlled — the contrast makes a lot of techniques easier to use.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The ball really sticks to the rubber and the arc comes out high, so it's easy to loop against backspin and to play topspin rallies. Close to the table, the bounce lands right where you want it and control is really high. Finishing points from mid-distance can be a bit tough sometimes. The grip is a bit thin, similar to Timo Boll's, and if you're used to Zhang Jike's or the Viscaria's grip, the back of the handle might feel like it leaves too much of a gap.
Since the balance is good, I think it works with a wide range of rubbers. Even a Hurricane 3 Blue bounces plenty, and with Dignics it grips the ball without flying off wildly.
The ball trajectory is almost too clean, but mistakes go down and your game gets noticeably more stable.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
