I switched over from DHS Provincial Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge (untreated).
This applies to any Chinese rubber, but whether you're driving against topspin or backspin, you won't get a good drive that combines both speed and spin unless you close the racket angle and make solid impact.
However, since this rubber uses a Japanese-made springy sponge, even a player without much muscle power like me can hit drives with real speed behind them.
In particular, drives from mid-distance — which were difficult with the untreated Hurricane — were relatively easy to land in the opponent's court.
Also, if you deliberately open the racket angle and brush over the top of the ball, the speed drops, but I found it easy to hit a sinking drive that makes the most of the Chinese rubber's grip on the ball.
My impression is that this is a rubber that makes it easy to switch between going for speed and prioritizing spin.
Lastly, this rubber is heavy. I'd say it's nearly 10 grams heavier than Provincial Hurricane 3. So if you're already right at your equipment weight limit, I'd recommend using a lighter tension rubber on your backhand.

Switched over from STIGA's Offensive CR WRB. I used it with the Penace.
The Offensive was a thin, flexible blade that didn't have much bounce, so with this one I felt a real snap on power shots like fast drives and smashes.
That said, it doesn't bounce too much, and you can consistently pull off grazing-type strokes like loop drives and serves.
Compared to 7-ply or carbon blades it might feel a bit lacking, but if you're currently using a low-bounce 5-ply and want a bit more speed and distance, I'd recommend this one.
Since it doesn't bounce too much and flexes just the right amount, I think it also pairs well with Chinese rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I originally used the Fastarc C1 and wanted a rubber with a bit less bounce, so I tried this one.
Using it on the backhand of a Chinese-style penhold blade.- Topspin drive
Drives against topspin are very stable since the bounce is on the low side. That said, it's hard to produce a piercing, fast shot, so unless you aim for a specific course or step around to hit forehand, it's hard to score points with it.
Against backspin, even though the sheet grips well, brushing the ball to loop it over didn't clear the net (some of that is my own lack of skill).
Hitting a bit thicker and letting the ball sink in more made it more stable.- Chiquita
The sheet grips well and the bounce is on the low side, so it's very easy to do. Hard to generate speed though.- Block
The sponge hardness is on the soft side, but since the sheet is a bit hard, you can block the opponent's drives stably without getting pushed back.- Summary
I'd recommend this to anyone using tension rubber on the backhand who wants a bit less bounce and more control.
It's not too soft, so even intermediate players should be plenty satisfied using it on the backhand.
It's also good if you want to learn the chiquita.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
