I am revoking my initial review of this rubber which was only a 3 star review.
I recently gave this rubber a second chance and got to appreciate it for its controllability and precision in shots. This rubber gives you a lot of confidence in active strokes because of the long dwell time and its control in general. It plays well close to the table as well as far from it. I found that shots right off the bounce work very well as the ball digs into the rubber and the rubber can wrap around the ball easily. Also, banana flicks are ridiculously easy to execute if you know how its done. The only negative I can think of is that it might seem slow on passive blocks etc. However, all in all a really good rubber. Definitely more of a backhand rubber for me due to its safety.
