This rubber is amazing. It has great feel and high throw but it lands as the end of the table instead of being near to the net. The top sheet has some kind of special tech that is similar to rasant grip but better and more consistent. It doesnt feel tacky at all but it has all the good properties of a tacky rubber and non of the cons. But this means that its not 100% the same as a chinese rubber. Sponge is medium and its very direct
This rubber is spinny, fast but not too fast and controllable and not as hard and has great feel. An analogy would be the speed and power of T05, control,dwell and feel of Xiom vega europe and spin of neo H3. Its not as good as its comparison counterpart but thats the price for having everything
This is a very good BH rubber but its hard to use as a FH rubber if you play close/mid distance dues to the high throw and long trajectory as the ball will often overshoot even with perfect technique. Its amazing if you play far distance but that comes at a price as well and not many people play far.
This rubber is good for BH flicks and looping underspin as the tackiness makes it easy to generate enough spin to counter the backspin and the dwell time is sufficiently long so you will not feel that the ball leaves the blade too quick (It has longer dwell than T05 and 64, almost as long as Xiom vega Euro, If this is too quick then you're not ready for this type of rubber). Furthermore, the path trajectory (High throw and lands end table) helps increase margin of error on BH techniques which are more compact compared to FH, but this has the opposite effect on the FH side as balls tend to overshoot if you are not careful.
I must however stress that this rubber plays and feels weird with celluloid balls. The ball bounces slightly off and the sound is very unpleasent. But since plastic balls are in play now, this point is fairly mute unless you play celloliud as you're a recreational player instead of a competitor player.
It is also fairly sensitive to spin so its not easy to punch through spin unless the ball is short and high and passive blocking is slightly challenging but not overly hard. Active blocking is fine. I think this is due to the tackiness of the rubber. This sensitivity to incoming spin also means you have to be careful when receiving serve, you have to spin everything unless its a no spin serve, in short, good touch is required. It is however easy to keep the ball low and short when receiving as long as you receive the ball correctly.
Conclusion: Outsanding rubber for BH but not so good on Fh. Its very spinny and controllable with enough speed for kill potential. Its sensitive to incoming spin so good touch is required. Some skill required to use this rubber well, stay away if you like to slap and punch balls.
