I'm using this on the backhand side of a 7-ply all-wood blade.
With Rigan on the forehand and Elite on the backhand, it's a control-focused setup, and with this combination my matches have been rock solid.
The standout feature is definitely how soft and easy to control it is.
The ball also flies in a nice straight line. This actually matters a lot to me — my backhand drive form tends to lift too high, so with a rubber that arcs a lot I used to get countered easily, but since switching to this one my shots come in low, sharp, and deep.
I feel like pushes tend to clip the net, but that got better once I got a bit more used to it.
Smashes are excellent as well.
It's not easily affected by the incoming ball's spin, so blocking is easy.
If you're after control and value for money, I think this is a great choice.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I'm using this on the forehand side of a 7-ply wood blade to rework my whole game.
It's not fast, but both my topspin drives and blocks are stable.
The consistency during matches especially stands out, and I've been winning more.
That said, the short game and pushes tend to run long, so you need to be really careful (part of that is just my lack of skill though...).
In my case, my serves have gotten shorter and with more spin. On the other hand, my knuckle-ball long serves keep getting smashed because they're not fast enough……
An intermediate player I know said "what is this rubber... no way...", but for where I'm at right now it feels just right.
The value for money is good too, so I think it's worth trying at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I'd been curious about this since it first came out, and after checking out a bunch of reviews, I bought it for my forehand.
Maybe because it switched from tacky to tension rubber,
my first impression was that the sheet felt kind of soft?
I felt like drives that combine brushing and hitting would take some getting used to.
Thanks to the sponge, the ball comes off quickly, but the grip on the ball felt a bit weak, so I think it needs solid practice to really use well.
Pushes and stops tend to float up.
That's probably down to both the sponge and my own skill.
Blocks felt like they'd fly off on their own, so those were easy to do.
Also, the smash counter is amazing!
Just hit it flat and give it a light push forward and it rockets off. Everyone was shocked.
If you really put the work in, I'm sure it'll turn out to be a fantastic rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I got curious after seeing a table tennis YouTuber's test-hit video, and switched over from tacky rubber to this one.
I really like the combination of a firm sheet with a springy, elastic sponge.
It felt like something between Nittaku's G1 and C1.
The ball sinks in more than with G1 on drives, so the drive flies out cleanly without mishitting off the edge.
The short game also stays under control without popping up too much.
Blocking and countering are both very easy.
At a list price of 5000 yen, I think this is an incredibly good deal.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

My wife uses this on her forehand.
From the receiving end, my first impression is that even though it's pips, it really has a lot of spin. There's spin right from the serve, so it's honestly kind of a pain to return...
Also, drives can be controlled solidly, almost like with an inverted topsheet.
Most of all, it really grabs onto the ball, so as a practice partner receiving it, my timing gets thrown off...
Using it myself, it felt softer than expected and easy to control. I can't fully evaluate it since I don't have proper pips technique, but it's a pretty impressive rubber. I think it would be great for someone switching from inverted to pips, and it's also a perfect fit for someone like my wife who plays forehand pips.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
