It feels like a German-style tension rubber that's been turned tacky.
Hearing "50°" makes it sound hard, but it's only a bit harder than Tenergy 05, and the ball sinks into it easily.
The tackiness isn't that strong, so I think even people new to tacky rubbers can handle it.
It generates good spin, so it's easy to use not just for drives and chiquitas but for chops as well.
I switched over from Spinart, and since it's easy to generate speed, I felt it got easier to punch through with a single shot.
However, unlike Tenergy, it's not the kind of rubber where just swinging gets it in — if you don't hit it properly, it can mysteriously drop into the net, so be careful with that.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Since it's called "Extra Hard," I thought it would be an insanely hard rubber, but
it's a rubber that doesn't feel as hard as its rating suggests. If you hit with a hooking motion, it grabs spin firmly, and if you catch the ball thick and
hit it, you can produce a topspin drive with outstanding destructive power. Someone with a lot of power, like player Takuya Jin, could probably use it on the backhand too. On top of that, the price isn't too high, so I think it's worth buying once to try.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Comparing this to the Bluestorm Z1: the arc doesn't change much — it still flies pretty straight — but it's noticeably easier to generate spin.
With the Z1 you needed to really drive the ball into the sponge, and even brushing it didn't produce much spin. With the AM, though, even a light swing lets the ball sink in a bit, and brushing gives you a decent amount of spin (that said, driving through the ball for more sink still gives more power).
The short game feel isn't that different, but chiquita spin is a little easier to generate.
As of January 30th the market price has gone up by about 2000 yen, but it's still a rubber with great performance for the price.
I think you'll get the most out of it if you pair it with an inner-carbon blade or a 5-ply blade that holds the ball well and has moderate bounce.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The pips are soft, and how should I put it, the way it holds the ball for a long time and then rips it with a chop feels insane. It's also easy to stop the ball, so I think it suits both choppers
and penhold pips players.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

The bounce, ball-holding, and vibration are the same as the Timo Boll ALC.
That said, because the grip is thin, it's suited to people with small hands, women, and juniors around 5-9 years old with small hands and not much strength — I don't think it's really a racket that appeals to everyone.
The grip is easy to hold and nicely rounded, so surprisingly, even an attacking-style chopper I know said "this is good." Though I don't think it's really a racket meant for choppers.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
