This is one of my all time personal favorite rubbers, I'm currently using it on my forehand with a T05 on the backhand and a ALC. There's a a couple of main reasons why I choose this rubber to be my forehand rubber and my favorite rubber. NOTE: I was using a 729 Cream on Magic Red Sponge from Cole at the time I moved up to this rubber.
The first reason is the "Springiness", IMO it has just the right amount of spring for my type of play (Offensive, mostly used stroke being forehand loop). It doesn't matter when the balls a soft spiny ball or when it's a fast hard ball, there's always a perfect amount of spring. The very first I played with it, I thought there was actually was too much spring I was wrong. You just have to have a couple of hours to adapt to the change.
Spin, is surprisingly also pretty good as well. I'm not trying to be a sales man for a company or anything but this is the truth. I still remember the moment when I finally finish adapting to the change, and I realized the potentials of the spin generated by this rubber. I would rate the spin a 9/10 (10 being the awesome and 1 being horrible). If your a newbie to Table Tennis, I certainly would not recommend this rubber due to the way the rubber reacts to a on coming spinning ball. Although it would be easy for a experienced players, I do not recommend this to newbies.
Chopping was some what OK. I would give it a 7/10. Although it's extremely consistent, it's kind of hard to keep the ball low due to the spring of the rubber. Serving was a splendid experience, my servers dramatically became much more effective and it finally actually gave my opponents some difficulties returning them. Smashing of pretty good I would say a 8/10. Good strong smashes but I wish the rubber could be a little more easy to control.
Here's a picture I took using a Kodak Z812IS digital camera. I'm still finding a way to get a better photo of the rubber, so please don't criticize it b/c I know it's not the best.
