Yes, just play with it. The boosting effect is quite mild, and it loses a little over time, which you'll probably hardly notice and it stays perfectly playable. Many other rubbers are boosted too, and people get a lot more than 4 weeks out of it, so don't worry about it.

DHS TG2 Skyline Neo rubbers are a bit heavy and maybe a little too hard and fast for a beginner ? Also the "factory-tuning" doesn't really do anything spectacular either. The P.O. treatment should be on the bare sponge (without any glue applied yet) and left alone for 2 - 3 days. If you want just leave the rubber out for 1 - 2 weeks after PO and there will be no effect other than a very much softer sponge and the rubber should play "normal" like as after breaking-in the rubber so that it is tamed.

I have used TG2 Neo lots and I can say that for first 1 - 2 weeks of play it will feel like the ball always lands on the white line and after the 2 weeks the rubber calms down. So you need to give the rubber lots of time and yourself more practice playing with it.

Also, TG2 Neo topsheet is a very tacky and scuffs like anything. So proper extra care to maintain it by using a soft damp sponge to clean after play and protective sheets to prevent dust accumulation is mandatory Also no rubbing it on your sweaty jersey or pant-legs or towel. Topsheet will wear out after about 3 - 4 months though it will stay tacky throughout the life of the rubber. After 4 months of play it will be just like any Chinese rubber like 729 etc.

Disclaimer: Im not any kind of pro-player or ranked etc. So opinions will differ

==========================================================

played the TG2 Neo for the first time yesterday and it felt just great. Wonder why I didn't tried it earlier.
Good control, heavy spin, quick enough if you want.
Hope this positive first impression lasts longer. But I'm quite optimistic!
