Switching over from anti-spin, I have three impressions:
1. It ignores a good amount of incoming spin
2. Even so, if you hit the ball with a bit of topspin, it still arcs to some extent
3. Both the sheet and sponge have strong rebound. It really fliesPoint 1 is great defensively — blocking opponents' drives and handling underspin serves becomes very easy.
Points 2 and 3 are great offensively — it gives smashes a stable feel and produces shots that are hard for the opponent to handle.
Depending on how you hit it, a knuckleball can even keep some underspin after the bounce.The downside is that because the rebound is strong, you need to put in some work and practice on your stop shots, and you also have to keep in mind that it won't automatically reverse spin the way anti-spin does. But more than anything, I've started winning more, and the benefits outweigh that, so I plan to keep using it for a while.

Here are my impressions after using it for a while. It's a rubber that's hard to buy anywhere except online right now, and it took a bit of time to arrive.
The sheet surface is smooth, and if you sink the ball in it gives just a hint of grip. If you brush the ball it produces just a hint of reversal (knuckle) - that "hint of" quality is what gives this rubber its character.
The sponge feels medium-bounce, not too high or too low, so you get this sensation of the ball leaving the sheet before the sponge has time to spring back after sinking in.
It's pretty insensitive to the opponent's spin, so it's easy to flick or smash a strong backspin serve from your opponent. The hitting surface is basically flat, but by adjusting the angle slightly, you can do a stop that kills the ball's spin, or a drive with a bit of extra topspin added.
If you cut your serve hard with heavy backspin, it comes out as a knuckle ball where the opponent can clearly see the logo mark spinning in their hand. If you cut it half-heartedly, it turns into a perfect setup ball for your opponent to attack, so naturally you end up serving off the other side's rubber.
This is a rubber that shows glimpses of inverted rubber, pips-out, and long pips all at once, and lets you use a wide variety of techniques. There are basically no example players or reference information for it out there. I'd recommend it to someone who wants to master it through their own feel rather than heading toward being a jack-of-all-trades.
