My first impression was that this is a rubber with excellent control.
I've been using it on both forehand and backhand for about four years now, and every technique feels very stable with it.
It really values short-game technique, and with a bit of practice you quickly get a feel for stops, sharply cut pushes, and even slightly tricky balls with this rubber. It's more of a gear for winning rallies than for pure speed, and for anyone who gets nervous about attacking first in a match, it lets you hit hard balls that still land firmly on the table, and short balls rarely go too long.
For the age group that's mostly just starting table tennis, I'd recommend trying the medium thickness first before switching to thick.
If you get used to it flying too much at first, the ball won't land on the table properly afterward, and you'll end up having to retrain that later — that's my impression.
I also think thick is a fine choice even for intermediate and advanced players. Since the control is good to begin with, it becomes something you can trust even more in important moments.
I'd recommend thick over max thickness myself, though that will vary depending on your swing speed and the time of season.
As for blade compatibility, I like it with a 5-ply wood blade, since the ball sinks in nicely and gives you good control.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
