I still haven't used it for very long, so I want to keep getting to know what kind of rubber this is going forward.
For now, let me just share my first impressions.
I switched to this rubber after using the Hybrid K1J.
It pairs really well with my Liberta Glorious blade — hit it with a decent amount of impact and the ball flies off with a huge crack and real speed. On the other hand, tacky-style loop drives need a certain amount of impact and a conscious effort to sink the ball into the rubber, or else they'll overshoot. That said, since I already had a feel for how to hit tacky rubbers from using the K1J, adjusting my impact while adding spin let me land the ball right where I was aiming with pretty good control.
For hitting against backspin, the K1J was easier to use, but with enough impact and swing speed, I can still get the ball onto the table reliably with this one.
Because the rubber is hard, the serves grip well and control is good. The flick control in the short game isn't bad either. Stops can be dead-stopped too.
Since it doesn't fly on its own, I think this rubber suits someone who wants to control spin and speed through their own stroke.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Compared to slightly tacky tension rubbers, the tackiness here is on the stronger side.
Rather than a tension-style stroke, opening the racket angle and hitting with a brushing motion seems to produce the higher-quality shots.
Whatever the pattern — short serve to the forehand, short serve to the backhand, or half-long — I can hit a strong 3rd ball without even thinking about it. It's easy to score off the opponent's blocking mistakes, or to follow up with consecutive drives or get into a rally.
When I was using a spin-oriented tension rubber, it was more of an all-or-nothing gamble aiming for an outright ace, and if the opponent's return was good I had no answer, so I wasn't really able to make use of developing play off backspin serves.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
