It is very fast and spinny... exactly what i like to play. The only problem in my eyes is, that its not as easy to control as the # Manufacturer Stats say.

This is a rubber I found myself going back to a few times. It offers great offensive stats, and was surprisingly easy to get used to. Would definitely recommend it for people buying a new offensive rubber.

Whether the rubber being relatively slow is a negative depends on your perception - it is faster with a lower throw than Donic Baracuda, but is definitely a high throw rubber. IT is not as fast as Tenergy 05/80, but the increased control on blocks and in the short game will be sufficient compensation for the right kind of player. The topsheet is extremely strong and supports the strains of brush looping extremely well, so you could almost play with it like a Chinese rubber if that is your preferred looping style, though it is much faster and definitely an Euro rubber if contrasted with anything tacky.

I like it because it supports a loop everything style at the lower levels. I pretty much try to loop even the most ridiculous balls when using this rubber because I trust the grip not to slip under pressure. Definitely should be revisited by more people in the plastic ball era. Now my favorite rubber of all time. The ball moves faster and breaks more than the harder sponged rubbers I usually prefer and I don't lose enough when brush looping to miss the hard sponge.

Tried it on Timo Boll Spirit blade for ~2-3 month on my FH side
It was very linear and very predictable rubber, producing exactly what you put in it, not helping in some aspects, but not bothering too. Every type of stroke was somewhat above average, nothing extraordinary. I liked its feedback very much. Guess it had some speed limit, but I wasn't hitting it to often (however I had a feeling that I'm very close to it, maybe a false one). And also I would like a little bit harder rubber with a higher throw.
The only real problem for me was counter-looping. I simply couldn't get used to its throw angle. I could adjust it during training sessions, but it was too hard for me to use on tournaments. That's more about my strokes and my habits, but I couldn't change them, unfortunately.
The second problem, which I could live with was its durability. I felt that sponge was slowly dying, getting softer and more wobbly/like cottonwool or something like that (have no idea of an English word I can use here). I used to train around 8-10 hours / week those days, and first month was good, second month was with some problems and the third month I've been simply waiting for replacement to arrive.
