I tried this with an Aqua Blade and a Segna, both penhold blades.
It has a horizontal grain, so grazing the ball gives you spin, but hitting it flat (with an angled paddle face) also feels good. Serves get plenty of spin too.
For low balls, hitting with about 80% flat contact and 20% graze gave me consistent, good shots.
Knuckle balls don't come out naturally, so you have to produce them deliberately.
It grips the ball well and is easy to handle, so if someone's switching over from inverted rubber, this would be the first rubber I'd recommend.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Mine weighed 75.5g. That's way off the average, so take this for what it's worth.
Compared to other all-wood blades, the ball seemed to fly upward more, but I didn't feel much ball-holding.
For a 5-ply blade it feels quite bouncy, and I can kind of see why the catalog numbers put it on par with the Innerforce, but you don't get that much power on hard shots.
If you want that classic wood feel, I'd go with the Korbel; otherwise, I think the Innerforce ALC is the better choice.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Mine weighed 92.2g. With rubbers attached, 193.7g.
At first I put on Evolution MX-P and MX-S at 2.1mm, but that came to 197.6g, which was too heavy, so I gave up on that combo.
Since the blade itself was heavy, I should have gone with the relatively lighter Hybrid MK instead. Or a Tamasu rubber.
Just from the ball-contact feel I thought it might be hard, but once I actually played with it, the feel was clearly soft wood that really lets you feel yourself holding the ball. The feel gave off a kind of muffled impression, but the snap is good too. It also holds the ball well, so the stability on counters and blocks is outstanding.
The short game is also easy — it's good for making use of the opponent's spin.
Since it's wood and holds the ball well, it's hard to finish a point in one shot, so it tends to turn into rallies.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

Mounted on my Harimoto Inner blade, it comes to 50.1g.
This is a comparison with Platinum M.
Compared to M, it feels somewhat harder, but since the Platinum series has a soft sheet, it doesn't feel as hard as the hardness number suggests.
It flies more than M, so you can generate more power, and hitting flat is also easy — the stability is still there. It's less affected by incoming spin than M, so I especially found counters easier to do. Whether you put spin on the ball or hit it more flat, it goes in.
That said, compared to Tenergy, it doesn't bounce as much.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I put this on a Korbel at max thickness, weighing 48.7g total.
There's no technique that's especially hard to do with this.
It doesn't give you that much speed, but you get spin when you swing through fully, so I'd recommend it to beginner and intermediate players.
Since it lacks speed, it's a bit weak against topspin, but it lifts backspin better than Vega. Given the price, it's understandable that it feels overall inferior to the Rakza series. As a step-up rubber, I think it offers great value for money.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
