I use it on my forehand, with short pips.
Hitting flat drives makes it easy to produce a no-spin (knuckle) ball, and opponents often net it.
Against backspin, the ball goes in solidly whether you hit it flat or brush it a little — lifting from below tends to send it long.
Counters work whether you smack it flat or brush it in line with the spin.
In the short game, both stops and flicks are easy.
Stops sit lower if you keep the racket close to vertical against the table.
Flicks go in whether you close the racket face over the ball or stand the racket up and push through.
Among vertical-pips rubbers, this one has a nice balance of spin, knuckle balls, and speed, and overall it's easy to handle.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Before using this blade, I was using the Wa no Kiwami Ao straight grip with the same rubber I use now. With a straight grip it's hard to hit well without re-gripping when switching directions, so I changed to the flared Hugo Hyper Axylium. It's much easier to hold.
As for the feel, I had originally used pure wood, but this still had a solid ball-holding sensation, so I could use it without any real drop-off.
For forehand hitting, the trajectory felt a little low at first, but it was quite easy to produce knuckle balls, and overall it's an easy-to-handle blade.
For forehand against backspin, I overshot a little at first, but if I hit with slight contact instead of lifting from below, the ball landed on the table with a sharp trajectory.
For backhand hitting, the ball rises up quite well and arcs nicely into the opponent's court. The stability is excellent.
For backhand against backspin, I'm the type who hits with slight contact, and it was very easy to do.
For the short game, flicks, chiquitas, and stops were all easy to do.
Serves are just average for me, since I'm not particularly good at them to begin with. Switching grips after the serve isn't especially easy either.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
