These are my impressions on backhand.
The short game is just as good as the X — pushes bite well and stops stay dead. As for chiquita, it grips the ball nicely, so the area you can attack from widens, you get stable power, and it's easy to aim your course. If you want more spin, the X might be better. Blocks and counters land a bit shallow since you're hitting off the sheet. Power drives from away from the table were tough. The arc is too high, so it's hard to get distance. But if you make it even higher it turns into an easy ball for your opponent, so you need to adjust by dropping your contact point or adding sidespin. Still, having this much performance in such a light rubber is a huge advantage.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I use this on the backhand side, paired with a tacky rubber on the forehand.
One feature is that the sheet doesn't slip, so I can create exactly the arc I'm picturing. It's relatively easy to use even for tacky-rubber users. Where this rubber really shines is in the short game — it's easy to make fine adjustments, so you can return short serves and use stops with a lot of variety. Since it's on the harder side, blocks where you just let the ball hit the rubber don't have much power. It won't drop the ball into the net, but unlike a strong tension rubber, it's not the type that auto-returns the ball for an easy counter. Rubbers like Tenergy or Extra change performance depending on how you catch the ball, but this one doesn't demand a particular hitting style, which I think makes it a good rubber that suits a lot of players.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I used the A side on my forehand and the Z side on my backhand. Compared to Butterfly's outer ALC, the bounce feels more restrained. In particular, the backhand Z side has good ball-holding feel even though it's an outer blade. Even with Dignics rubber, an outer blade can sometimes release the ball too fast and lose spin, but this blade grips the ball firmly and produces powerful spin with a good arc.
What impressed me most was the grip — it's perfectly easy to swing through. Not just the width, but the thickness gradually tapers from the grip end to the base, so you don't have to worry about it slipping even without gripping hard.
If you use outer blades but want more stability, yet don't like the feel of inner blades, definitely give this one a test hit.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

- Pros
The control is good and it's easy to place the ball to a spot during rallies. Even though it's soft, it's easy to block with, and you can also vary the pace. I don't feel much grip on the ball, but loops can drop just past the net.
- Cons
When you sink the ball into it as much as possible, you get speed, but even though it's a soft rubber, it was hard to sink the ball in enough during a rally to hit a decisive shot.
If you're used to hard rubbers, stops tend to float.
With a hard blade, when hitting a topspin drive, the ball sinks in too much before the blade flexes, so you lack rebound and the ball can drop.
I think it suits a flexible blade, like a 5-ply blade or one with a soft inner ply.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I've used a lot of arylate-carbon outer blades over the years, but the first thing I felt using this blade was a softness in the feel that you wouldn't expect from carbon.
Serves, pushes, and stops don't fly too much and cut sharply. And yet with snapping techniques like flicks, chiquitas, and counter-blocks, the initial speed is clearly there.
The carbon only kicks in exactly where you want some bounce in the short game.
And on hard hits, especially a gripping topspin drive, it holds the ball like wood, delivering maximum spin and a heavy ball.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
