I used max thickness on my backhand.
This is a comparison with V11.
Short game: V11 > G1
Counter: V11 = G1
Block: V11 = G1
It's about 5g heavier, and G1 travels farther.
There's not much difference in spin on topspin-to-topspin drives. G1 has enough grip that it feels like it grabs the ball once before releasing it, so preference will vary. Players with strong impact will probably prefer V11.
On drives against backspin, G1 generates more spin, but compared to V11 there's more variation in misses. Overall consistency isn't hugely different.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is a comparison with Hurricane NEO3 and PRO3.
Compared to NEO3, it's tackier and harder. Power and speed feel about the same.
In my case, spin is the only thing that felt stronger with the Double Extra. Weight feels slightly lighter, but about the same overall.
Compared to PRO3, the tackiness is about equal. On paper the Double Extra is listed as harder, but the feel seemed about the same.
Spin isn't much different, but power and speed are noticeably higher. It's about 7g heavier.
If you're already used to tacky rubber, I think you can just pick between NEO3 and Double Extra based on preference.
If you're moving from tension rubber and trying tacky rubber for the first time, I'd recommend the Double Extra.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Switched from Fastarc G1. Using max thickness on my backhand.
The short game, blocking, countering, driving, and hitting all feel stable.
Compared to G1, the short game is way more stable. The spin on topspin-to-topspin drives feels about the same. However, the grip (that "grabbing" feeling) is weaker than G1, so you need to be conscious of your contact point. Not an issue once you get used to it.
G1 has more spin on drives against backspin, but this one seems to have less variation in mishits.
G1 also has more distance. With my power, this rubber isn't suited for topspin rallies away from the table. It's about 5g lighter than G1.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used this on my backhand. In a word, it's the German version of Tenergy. Easy to use, and it has that typical German-rubber roughness.
It feels very soft, so I'd recommend it as the opposite-side rubber to a hard blade or hard rubber. It seems especially well suited to the backhand for someone using tacky rubber on the forehand.
Being based on the Hybrid K3, it makes hitting against backspin really easy. It also has a grabbing feel, so chiquitas and counters are easy too. Despite feeling soft, blocking was stable. Anyone who finds the K3 a bit too hard should find this an easy switch.
That said, it has a unique feel like you're hitting straight into the sponge, so it takes some getting used to. Pushes especially kept going long until I adjusted.
If you like a mostly-meeting style, the Quantum seems to be the pick, and if you want a thin, brushing topspin drive, the EL-D — it feels like TIBHAR has these nicely differentiated within their own lineup.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I'm using the 2.0 on my backhand. It really does feel softer than the stated 52.5 degrees — maybe around 48 by feel.
The feel is similar to Tenergy 05, but it's not an "automatic" rubber — it assumes you're actually swinging through the ball. It grips the ball more than Tenergy at contact. When it grips, you really do feel the "play" and "tolerance" they advertise. Even if your timing is a bit off, the "play" gives you extra time to grip the ball. And even if the ball still has spin on it, the "tolerance" seems to cancel that out.
To repeat myself, impact matters a lot. Grazing the ball still goes in, but it doesn't produce great shots (though that might just be my lack of skill...).
The short game is quite easy, and the chiquita is excellent.
I'd recommend this to intermediate players and above who hit with strong impact.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
