I use this on my forehand.
As for the feel, on topspin drives
it's a tension rubber that feels like
"maybe there's just a little bit of tack in there?"
but on the short game, loops, and other shots where you don't hit thick,
it feels like a proper tacky rubber.Before using it, I assumed
you'd need real skill to handle this rubber,
but after using it, I actually felt the opposite.I'm only a beginner-to-intermediate player,
but ever since switching to this rubber,
my reflex blocks
land in the court
way more often than before.Also, since it barely bounces over the table,
my receives are stable,
and I can control nasty returns
as well as the depth and placement,
so my opponent has a hard time taking control of the point.Looping against backspin
puts a ridiculous amount of spin on the ball,
so I can score low-risk points
without needing to hit a fast topspin drive.Overall,
the rubber basically puts the ball in the court for you,
so I think it's a plus for every kind of player.
It's an especially safe bet
for players like me who value consistency.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I used both the 0.5mm and the OX (sheet-only) version.
The rubbers I've used up to now are
Curl P1, P4, Chen Qing, and Desperado.I'd heard Glayzr was hard to use, but
the OX version of Glayzr was easier to control
than any long pips I've used so far.The 0.5mm version flew too much
and was hard to control.But the OX Glayzr
is easy to stop with,
the push is easy to control and fast,
and on top of that backhand smashes
go in with a lot of precision.Compared to other pips, Glayzr
isn't affected much by incoming spin,
so once you get a feel for the general angle to hit at,
it becomes quite easy to handle.I've heard Curl P1 kills the ball more,
but for chop blocking,
Glayzr is definitely better at killing the ball.
Curl picks up a lot of the opponent's drive spin,
so even without much bounce
it still flies off.Compared to other pips, the range of techniques is narrower.
For blocking I think you should stick to chop blocks,
and for attacking, focus on pushes or smashes.
You can drive with it, but it's not really worth doing on purpose.Also, its knuckle (reversal) ability is top notch.
But since its strength lies more in how easy it is to vary length and how fast the push is,
the knuckle effect isn't really its biggest strength.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I was using Fastarc G1, so this review compares it to that.
First off, it's really easy to use.
The feel is a bit softer,
but it still has that response in your hand that hard rubbers have, which is great.It's faster than the G1,
and the spin is about the same as the G1.
The ball feels like it leaves the rubber a bit quicker.Even though the ball comes off quickly, it still grips well when you hit backspin balls.
It also seems less affected by the opponent's spin, so loop drives against topspin were easy to pull off,
and counters and blocks were easy too — I felt like I could do anything with it.The downside is that against powerful shots, I could return really good drives,
but for generating my own drive against a ball with little power behind it, the G1 was easier to use.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I mainly used Curl P4
so I'll review this in comparison to that.The pips are much harder than the P4.
The chop is brutal.
Because it's hard, it flies straight like short pips.
But then it drops sharply afterward.
It's like the trajectory of a baseball forkball,
so I think chops go in pretty easily.It's less affected by spin than the P4.
So when you brush it, it slips,
which means you can't do drive-like shots
the way you can with the P4, so it lacks a bit of stability.
Pushes are also basically impossible.The bounce is stronger than the P4.
I'd heard it was low-elasticity,
but it flew quite a bit.
So counter-hitting is quite easy to do.
That said, as long as you don't move the racket,
you can block well enough to keep it on the table.Returns come back lower than with the P4.
Overall, it's more true to what pips should feel like.
The P4 might have
more stability,
but if you master this one it could be nasty.
Close to the table, it's for intermediate to advanced players.For choppers,
even beginners should use this.
Chops go in super easily.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I've tried switching between all kinds of rubbers
but in the end G1 is the best.The spin it grabs is insane.
The topspin drive is stable too.
You get plenty of speed as well.
Blocking and the short game are both easy.
Honestly there's no technique that's hard to pull off with it
it's a pretty all-around rubber.In short, it just comes down to being easy to use.
