As of today, I'm a chopper using long pips on my backhand.
This rubber, the 730, is the one I was using before I switched.
Its sponge hardness is rated 50±3, which is on the harder side, but personally I didn't find it all that hard.
If anything, it's soft enough that you need to push into the ball a bit or your chops won't go long.
First, pushes: they had a decent amount of both spin and speed.
Nothing special, but stable.
Next, smashes: the classic chopper move of smashing an opponent's weak return (a soft push) — this rubber made that counter-attack unbeatably easy to pull off. It has speed, and decent power too. Because you can counter-attack with stability, you can go on the offensive with confidence.
Finally, chopping: against an opponent's strong topspin drive, I could put solid spin on my chops. However, against a slower, softer drive, chopping was difficult. Against a slow drive I usually go for a knuckle chop, but since this rubber doesn't bounce much, I couldn't quite pull it off well.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I think this combination is suited to intermediate-to-advanced choppers.
This was the blade I used when I placed 3rd at a regional tournament.
It has a bit of bounce, but you can easily produce knuckle balls and hard chops.
Attacking on the forehand is easy too, with decent power.
On the backhand, you can even use it somewhat like long pips, and the topspin drives and smashes are excellent.
The blade itself is heavy, so swinging all the way through might be tough, but once you get used to it, chops go in with a really satisfying feel!!!!!!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I'm a chopper who uses short pips on the backhand!
This rubber doesn't produce much variation, but it's stable because of that.
First, for pushes, knuckle is the default.
If you try to add backspin, the ball doesn't bounce and you end up hitting the net.
If you push with a pushing motion, it stays stable.
Chopping is the same as pushing - knuckle is the default.
But against balls with a lot of spin or power, it bounces back just right and picks up a decent amount of spin too.
Next, blocking. Like long pips, you can stop the ball short or stretch it out.
Again, there's not much variation, but it is easy to use.I wouldn't really recommend this rubber... (´T ω T`)

I'm a chopper who runs short pips on my backhand.
True to its name, the strength of this rubber is power.
When smashing a backspin ball that a chopper often deals with (like a popped-up push), the power rivals that of a drive player! That's the Triple Power Chop sponge for you!
And pushes and chops both come out low, while drives fly in a good trajectory deep into the opponent's court.
Also, you can control serves for length, both long and short, and they still get plenty of spin.This is a seriously strong rubber, so if you're an intermediate chopper who likes hard rubbers, you should definitely give it a try.

I'm a chopper with short pips on the backhand.
This blade is really light, and the feel is a bit hollow and poppy.
Because of that, it transmits a lot to your hand, so I can't really recommend it.
Also, even smashes and drives hit with everything you've got come out slow, and if you don't place them well they'll just get returned.
Chopping gives some stability since it takes the pace off the opponent's shots, but because the blade is so light, if you swing all the way through, the blade itself can end up flying out of your hand.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
