I had tacky rubber on the forehand, and compared to a thin blade like the Alnate Inner, the arc was lower and the ball came out with more speed.
I also tried it with tension rubber. The ball left the blade quickly and speed was good, but the ball-holding feel wasn't that great.
That said, the grip is a bit thick and easy to hold, so I was able to hit shots where I carried the ball with my own power.On the backhand I had a slightly softer rubber than on the forehand, which made it very easy to hit with.
Hard hits and loops against backspin were both very easy to do, and the speed came out well too.The short game was no problem at all.
That said, I think putting on tension rubber makes control a bit harder.The blade itself is on the hard side and bounces a lot, so soft rubbers like the G-1 seem like a good match. When using a hard rubber, you need to make sure to hit every ball properly, or the shots will come out flat and dead.

I was originally using an inner ALC-type blade, but I started feeling like it lacked a bit of speed, so I decided to make a bold change.
The speed went up and it's really easy to use.
I thought it might be way too fast, but oddly, maybe because of the thickness, it actually holds the ball surprisingly well, while still giving you good ball speed and distance — a strange blade in that way.
On the backhand though, since it's a tension rubber, I did feel the ball leaving a bit too fast on blocks and light taps. Slightly tacky rubbers, or spin-oriented tension rubbers harder than D80, seem to suit it better.
I didn't feel any particular difficulty with the short game or serving. Chiquitas and topspin over the table were easy to do, and stops and pushes flew a little more than expected, but stayed within a controllable range.
It's well balanced, and on top of that, it's a really good blade that gives you speed when you swing hard.
The only thing that bugged me was the "poc-poc" sound it makes on light taps — that was a bit off-putting...Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I'm using Hammond Z2 MAX on both sides.
The feel on contact is really good — it bounces, but it also holds the ball, so shots are stable.
Personally, I can get more spin on my loop drives than I could back when I was using 09C on a roughly 6mm-thick inner carbon blade.
If you're good at sinking the ball into the sponge to generate spin, this equipment produces speed, so I think you'll get fast, stable shots.
I was never good with pure wood blades and had always used composite blades, but this one is really easy to use and has become my main blade.
It's great whether you're switching over from a composite-material blade or looking for a wood blade that bounces but still holds the ball well. A truly excellent blade. Recommended.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I switched over from the Zhang Jike ALC.
Compared to that, the sense of speed drops a little, but the ball-holding is a bit better and there's a feeling of the ball lifting up.
In particular, with Dignics 05 on the backhand, the Zhang Jike ALC sent the ball on a flat trajectory that caused a lot of net misses, but after switching to this blade, net misses dropped dramatically.
The top ply is on the harder side, so it's easy to put spin on, and it turned out to be a really nice blade where loop drives are easy to control while still generating plenty of spin.
In the short game it doesn't bounce too much either, so stops, pushes, flicks, and chiquitas were all easy to do.
It still flies well even away from the table, so it was a great blade that let me play anywhere from close to the table to far away from it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I've been using this on the forehand of my Atletico Power Pro (inner-carbon) and my Zhang Jike SZLC (outer-carbon).
Even during forehand knock-up, the trajectory was quite high — especially when mounted on the inner-carbon blade, it was high enough to cause overshoots.
Topspin drives get a lot of spin and produce heavy balls. The inner-carbon in particular needs more power, but when you really smash it, the shot has tremendous power.
Against backspin too, whether it's a hard smash or a loop drive, the amount of spin is incredible — in matches it was enough to win points on its own.
Mounted on the outer-carbon, the speed picked up too, and the power felt even greater. Even on light shots it flew straighter compared to the inner-carbon, and there were no more cases of it going too high and overshooting.
Honestly there's almost no "auto" feel to it, but if you can generate the power yourself, it was an outstanding rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
