People say it feels like inverted rubber, but honestly it doesn't feel like that at all. The trajectory is flat and it's fast, but drives are completely unstable. The ball just flies straight in the direction you swing, so you have to concentrate hard on every single shot. Blocking was super easy though, so I think it's good for defensive players.
That said, it was surprisingly good on the forehand, so I think it would suit penhold pips players.
It's absolutely not suited to an attacking shakehand backhand-pips style.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This short pips rubber is a serious spin rubber. I used it on my backhand, and it just generates spin like crazy. Drives lift easily, and even when I dropped back away from the table, I could still get power on the ball and trade shots. Blocks also get a nice grip from the topsheet, so the ball comes out with a slight arc and lands on the table easily.
If I had to name a downside, it's that knuckle balls don't come out easily. So it's not suited to players who want to score with pips-style variation. It was very easy for me to use, but my opponents told me the ball was pretty easy to read. Also, smashes tend to come out a bit drive-like, so it's hard to go for a decisive kill shot on a loose loop drive.
That said, I'd recommend it to anyone who likes pips but wants more spin, or anyone who feels the spin on their current pips rubber isn't enough.
I also had players who currently use inverted rubber try this, and they were able to use it without any trouble. So I'd definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about switching from inverted to short pips. You can hit much like with inverted rubber while still getting used to the feel of pips.
It's a really good rubber, so if you're on the fence, why not give it a try?

The blue version came out so I bought it to try. Thickness is max.
Forehand light hits, forehand drive
When you hit it properly, the ball really flies. Speed drives feel quite good. But loops either went up too much or not enough, so it was hard to produce a high-quality ball. Even backing away from the table, it still landed reliably.
Backhand light hits, backhand drive
This was quite good. I'm not someone who loops on the backhand, so it worked well without the downside I had on the forehand.
Block, counter
Almost everything goes in. No complaints.
Serve, short game
This is hard. Especially serves aimed short to the forehand tend to go off the end of the table. That said, techniques that don't need to stay short, like pushes and flicks, were no problem.
Overall
Better suited to the backhand. Since the drawbacks — looping and serving — aren't things I use much, I can just make use of the strengths.
The sponge was softer than I expected. Rather than needing to hit with a strong impact, what matters is hitting the sweet spot properly. If you do that, even a somewhat weak impact produces a good enough ball.
I use short pips on my backhand, so I gave up on this one.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It was advertised as a "hardcore rubber" and "for top-level players," and the salesperson recommended it too, so I bought it, but that wasn't really the case.
I got suckered in by the marketing and bought the 2.0 thickness, but honestly it was softer than I expected. I should have just gotten MAX. I'm using it on my forehand, but for one thing, it's hard to get topspin drives deep into the court. Also, it doesn't generate much speed. It was hard to finish points off my forehand. Loop drives had decent spin, but they'd float a little. Speed drives came out with a pretty flat trajectory. That did make for a trajectory that's hard to chop, though.
To sum it up, it's kind of a case of the packaging overselling it. It's not for top-level players — it's really for solid intermediate players. Once you accept that, the performance is good for an intermediate-level rubber, but it's definitely not for top-level players. Maybe it's meant as a stepping stone up to the Omega 7.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I use the thick version on my Timo Boll ALC.
At 51.5 degrees, the feel is hard, but it didn't feel that hard to me in practice.
Forehand drives come out with a slightly flatter trajectory, but they're quite stable. When I set up properly and really went for it, I got a really fast, nasty ball. Even at thick, the power is more than enough.
You need a strong impact to get the max out of it, but even without that you still get a high-quality shot. Loops arc up nicely too and are easy to land. Flat hits, especially counters, were also easy to pull off.
The backhand is hard and tough to use, but a hard hitter could probably make it work. I didn't feel any difficulty with the short game or serving either.
If you catch the ball too thin, you'll get a mishit. I think it's better to hit with more of a flat contact than to brush it.
The center of gravity is fairly close to your hand, so the feel of holding the blade changes. It might be worth getting a side balancer just in case.
It suited me well enough that I'm definitely buying it again. I don't think you'll regret trying it.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
