This is a review as a chopping rubber.
I used the 0.5 (extra-thin) version.
When it lands, it comes in with a low trajectory and you can return the ball with tremendous variation, but it's quite hard to keep stable, so my impression is that it demands a lot of care with your touch.
Being able to use your chop offensively is, I think, this rubber's strong point.
As a comparison, against the Feint Long 3:
Ease of use
Curl P1 < Feint Long 3Amount of variation
Curl P1 > Feint Long 3Low trajectory
Curl P1 > Feint Long 3
That's roughly how it felt.
For chopping against a sudden hard hit, the Feint Long 3 is definitely more stable, so I think players aiming for a classic chopper style would be better off with the Feint Long 3.The Curl P1 makes it easy to create your own attacking chances with an aggressive chop, so I'd recommend it for players who attack more often.
If you can master it, I think you'll definitely become a chopper that opponents hate to face, so it's a rubber I'd recommend to someone who already has solid fundamentals.

I normally use the Acoustic Carbon, and bought this one to relearn the basics with pure wood.
Right from forehand hitting, what struck me was the incredibly thick, solid feel.
I get why it's called a masterpiece.It bounced more than I expected, which made me wonder if it might even bounce more than some mediocre inner or fiber blades.
Playing close to the table is really comfortable — even swinging all out, the ball stays on the table.
That said, it doesn't have that one-shot-kill feel like a carbon blade, so it seems better to win points through spin amount and ball weight instead.Playing mid- to far-distance takes a bit more effort, so I felt it suits calm, close-to-the-table attacking play better than getting into intense exchanges from further back.
Also, this time I put on hard rubbers on both sides for the sake of relearning fundamentals, but for actual matches I'd recommend softer rubbers instead (something around 45-48 German hardness).
A blade you can use at any level, from beginner to advanced, just by changing the type of rubber to match.

I used to pair this with a German semi-tacky tension rubber, but the compatibility with Tamas (Butterfly) rubbers was amazing, so here's a re-review.
Forehand: Dignics 09C
I tried it half-expecting to just throw the rubber cost away, but it turned out to be an incredible match.
It brings out the best of both the tacky characteristics and the tension characteristics — as long as you make contact, it feels like it goes in.
It really resonates in your hand and flies off fast, so it feels great to hit with.Backhand: Tenergy 05
You get that signature 05 grip-the-ball feel and hand feedback even more strongly than with other blades.
Even sloppy hard hits land in, and combined with the power on the forehand side, I really felt like I was in the zone.
It pairs very well with rubbers that grip the ball firmly and lift it properly, so if you're okay with some extra weight, it should also work well with Chinese rubbers and the like.If you're not used to outer carbon blades it might feel a bit tricky to handle at first, but I'd recommend it if you're moving up from another carbon blade.

For a chopping blade, it felt like it had quite a lot of bounce.
You can also use a style where the forehand is for connecting shots and drives while the backhand is for chopping.
As a feature of the string-instrument series, it has a soft feel and good ball-holding, so I think aggressive players should put a hard rubber on the forehand, while players who like to grind it out should use a soft rubber.
Some people might find the oval-shaped grip makes it harder to flip the racket around, but personally it didn't bother me much.
If you're considering the Violin, this one might work just as well for you. (The only difference is the blade width.)

There's nothing particularly extreme about it - everything is just at a high level.
On the flip side, if you're the type who sticks right up close to the table, or an unorthodox-style player, this blade might not suit you since it doesn't have a strong defining characteristic.
For players aiming for an all-round playing style, I think you really can't go wrong picking this one if you're torn between options.
