I feel mostly the same about the rubber in my short time using it as Yoass and Dan. Quite similar to JP03, with a slightly bouncier short game and a higher catapult in the top end. Same level of (extremely high) control with more oomph. Hope the durability is better than JP03. The rubber is quite light too. I do not have a specific weight as I forgot to weigh after cutting, but it my racket is 4-6gr lighter with Rozena than with DHS 3-60. I feel over all your highest quality shots maybe very slightly capped compared to a t05 or boosted h3, in terms of speed/spin (again very marginally), but your low quality shots will be better to a much more noticeable degree. A good trade off for new or seasoned players. My out of position shots now get a serviceable amount of spin where they may not prior with say a Xiom Asia/Euro DF or JP03. My training partner agrees on the receiving end of the hits. I am not a great player so I appreciate the help in the lower quality shots over the slight cap on the top end.

I was very worried this would play too bouncy in the short game, but with use it is perfect. It really plays quite tame with pushes. Serves seem no worse/less spinny than with my normal Hurricane 8, and surprisingly short. Blocking didn't suffer if you are used to ESN rubbers catapult. All of this is based on a sample of 1 red sheet in 2.1 (max sponge size I believe for this rubber) on the BH of a 92gr Viscaria. I flipped the racket around against my robot and the FH loop arcs were noticeably lower than H3, even lower than H8. Could really feel the catapult on FH. I really like this rubber. It satisfies the ridiculous internal desire to "play with the best "(ie Tenergy) while costing less and being more aligned with my playing level.
