Blade itself is very good I think, though little head-heavy. Presently using it with Donic Barracuda max as BH and Genius+ Optimum max as FH. Not very happy with the combination (suggestions welcome).
Feels little heavy in my not so large hand. Will prefer lighter rubbers - little faster in BH for more offensive options and little tackier / with more grips in FH. Will allow myself another few months for adjustments though.
Thinking about Yasaka Rakza7 1.8 mm as BH and may be Sanwei Target National / Nittaku Fastarc (?) G1 in max as FH. Any comment?

Good BH rubber, using max on Tibhar Stratus Power Wood. Not very impressed with the speed, but control is very good. Good for defensive play, no doubt. For fast offensive strokes - well, I may be missing some things. Will continue for some time though as trying few things defensively. Probably, will go to Sriver (was very impressed with the EL version 2.1 max on Donic Waldner Allplay).

Was my first FH rubber long back. Even now occasionally go back (and really enjoy) to my son's (a beginner) Donic Waldner Allplay having the Mark V max in FH and Butterfly Sriver EL 2.1 mm as BH. A rubber with nostalgia and still reasonably excellent for funplay.

When paired with Donic Barracuda max as BH on Tibhar Stratus Power Wood 85 gm, Genius+ Optimum was nice diversion from the usual pairing ideas. Controlled play with defense in BH and controlled aggression in FH, though it is not that tacky. May be more suitable for intermediate or above, but definitely not for winning competitions, I think. Little pricey!

This is my first post though I am following the forums here for quite some time.
Overall, I think, its a very good BH rubber on lighter allplay blades for a beginner / intermediate player.
I am playing for last 30 yrs since my college days as recreational player - consider myself as upper intermediate level. This one suited me best as BH rubber (with DW Allplay) among all the ones I have tried. I play all-round mainly - chop / loop / hits equally.
