I think this is supposed to be a rubber for beginners, because the sponge is very soft. For that purpose it's fine... but there are better options.
This rubber is bouncy and fast, but it bottoms out very easily. This means that
(1) you won't be able to create slow balls because the rubber is very reactive even with a soft touch
(2) you won't be able to create fast powerful balls because the rubber bottoms out when you hit with full strength
These characteristics would make the rubber ideal for someone who has chronic shoulder / arm injuries and cannot afford to put very much effort into their strokes. These people will be able to hit a medium-speed ball with very little effort.
This rubber is very elastic and reactive to spin, but not in a way that would teach a beginner to create their own spin. This rubber allows you to return incoming spin with very little effort, but in a very passive way. The rubber is very reactive, so one learns to counteract spin by simply letting the ball hit the racket while aiming the racket in the right direction. Again, I think this may be an advantage for people with chronic injuries who can't make full strokes.
This rubber is terrible at returning slow spinny balls, especially on the serve. It is very bouncy and reactive to spin.
If you accidentally strike the table with this rubber, it will probably break. Forget about peeling glue off of the sponge and regluing it on a different blade -- the sponge will fall apart if you try to do this.
For all of my criticisms, I will say that this rubber does allow the player to "feel" the ball very well due to its soft sponge.
If you aren't a beginner, don't buy this rubber. If you are a beginner, you have better options. Yasaka Mark V or Yasaka Rakza 7 or DHS Hurricane 3 are all better options (and Hurricane 3 is significantly cheaper).
