It's a non-tension rubber, but when you hit it just right, the speed can actually exceed tension rubbers.
I'm using the "thick" thickness, the third from the top. The pips are on the smaller side, which makes it easy to control.
The spin is about average for short pips, I'd say. Even so, it can generate enough spin on backspin serves to make opponents net the ball.
The phrase "short pips are all about speed!" is true in one sense, but I think this is actually a pretty well-balanced rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I've been using the "2.0" thickness, the second-thickest option, on a single-sided penhold for about two months.
Since it's non-tension, the control is outstanding. Naturally, on the flip side, it lacks speed. A practice partner who's used Morist SP for years quit using it right away because of the lack of speed. Even though it has a vertical pimple pattern, it does generate spin. For a vertical pattern, I felt this amount of spin was similar to STIGA's Symmetry.
I haven't played against many different types of players yet, so my evaluation is still in progress, but I think the blade can make up for the speed, and going with MAX thickness might change things too. For me, good control is what I need, so I plan to keep using it for a while.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I've been using this for over a year now, since around the start of last year. Before this I always used vertical-grain rubbers focused on speed and knuckle balls, so this is my first horizontal-grain rubber.
I use it thick on a single-sided penhold blade (5-ply), and overall I feel like I can play any technique at a high level with it. I can't compare it to other horizontal-grain rubbers, but when I block an opponent's topspin, I get quite a lot of knuckle effect. I feel the balance of control, spin, and speed is excellent. It might just be a limitation in my own skill, but angle-hitting against backspin is a bit tricky, and I feel I need to hit with a slight topspin motion.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I use the medium-thick version. It's a vertical-pip rubber, but the pips are on the larger side, and I feel it can generate about as much spin as Moristo SP among vertical-pip rubbers.
It also produces a lot of knuckle balls, and opponents say it's hard to deal with.I've been using it on a 5-ply all-wood blade, and I find it's a rubber that's easy to control
with high overall performance.If you prefer a softer rubber, I'd recommend giving this one a try.

I'm using the MAX thickness. So far I've used W-alpha EX-X with yellow sponge, Allegro, Royal Large, V Large L2, Extend LB, and Magnify LB.
The sponge is rated 25 hardness, a bit on the harder side for a large-ball rubber, but the pips themselves felt soft. In short, it doesn't really have any standout feature — to put it positively, it's more of an all-around large-ball rubber. Magnify LB from the same maker is speed-focused, so it seems like they developed this one as a balanced rubber, but overall I felt Allegro and Royal Large were still better in terms of usability. That said, I do think the value for money is good.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
