the rubber has finally made it here. i gave it a hit using the blade in my signature, Waldner Senso Ultra Carbon.

Physical Properties: it is a 2.0mm, medium hardness sponge, with a red grippy topsheet. it seems to be sturdy and long lasting.

Speed: the speed is quite good for me. It is not tenergy-like, where a slow stroke is rocket speed. slow strokes come out slow and fast strokes come out fast. it is good for flat hitting. smashing feels great because of the speed/control ratio. loop drives and loop kills are like JO Platin Soft speed-wise. 85/100

Spin: it is good, but not as good as Giant Dragon claims. due to the medium-low throw, it gives a pretty straight arc, but it dives down and kicks off the table pretty hard. It's between Mark V and H2. Definantly faster than spinnier. i was pleasantly surprised by the amount of spin on serves. backspin serves easily come back into the net. 80/100

Control: best part of it, no doubt. for the speed it offers, the control is absolutely awesome. pushes/soft touch shots are extremely well placed with ease. flipping is it the same. the control it offers allow me to place the ball where ever i want in the table, even in faster strokes, like smashes/flat hitting. 85/100

Other Playing properties: it is not a easy rubber to play with. because of the medium throw, it you play it "automatically", the ball will go into the net. you have to think about where you are placing your shot. lifting backspin requires some effort. it is not as dwelly as baracuda. is not very reactive to incoming spin. i guess i found my new forehand rubber

any questions feel free to ask

li2so4,
How does it fit your blade? Were you able to trim off the two edge defects?
Hope it keeps working for you and has found a good home.

it fitted perfectly. if i trimmed off the edges it would be too small, but that's not a problem to me. i will stick with it until i get a new blade, in a couple of months. thanks again vanjr
