Very good rubber for beginners, it might be to slow for professionals. Very good quality and long durability. With allround blade like for example STIGA Allround Classic quarantees amazing control. For me it's 9 out of 10. I definitely recommend it.
Very bad quality control. The pair of rubbers I purchased from TTNP were awful. The sponges were seperated from the rubbers before I took them out of the package!
Rubber is completely non-tacky. Spin is good for a non-tacky rubber, but of course less than tacky rubbers.
Sponge is softer than most Asian ones, and I found it to be medium to medium-soft. Rubber top-sheet is quite soft too. Control was pretty good with good dwell time given by the slightly softer sponge, which somewhat makes up for the lack of tackiness.
Throw angle I found to be medium. Not too low or high.
Blocking was good as springy soft sponge with plenty of bounce and good control.
Pushing and chop serves were good for control but spin was not too heavy due to lack of tacky surface. Still quite good though.
Good for attacking close to mid-distance. Further back was more difficult as it lacked the gears to push through when needed.
Overall, it is a good all-round attacking rubber with good control. While spin is not as much as tacky rubbers, though I found it still good for looping due to its other characteristics (control, throw). Speed always felt a bit lacking so need a faster blade if you want to attack with it.
I would recommend it for an all-round attacker who needs good control and can generate required spin without a tacky surface. Use with a faster blade if you want good speed also.
Very good value for money too, though depends where you buy (try eBay).

Tackiness: Completely non-tacky; Throw Angle: Medium
Weight: Average; Sponge Hardness: Medium; Gear: Average
Durability: Average; Consistency: Occasional variations
Overall: 8.4
Nice cheap rubber. Very good control. Have exelent spin. I used 1.5mm for shop, block and controlled soft topspin. With this rubber you can do everything what you wish but not with more speed. This rubber is not for ofensive, this rubber is for tactical game.
