After about a month of play, I'm pretty happy with this rubber. I'm not a pure defense chopper but it's mostly what I do for my back hand. The softer sponge does a good job absorbing fast hits and giving you control of the pace. It slices and pushes well while generating good spin. The throw is pretty flat when you chop with it. I will say it's kind of hard to backhand flick/attack with it, and it's kind of too slow to forehand attack with. My goal was to build a relatively cheap and neutral setup that I could learn from and eventually tune more specifically, but still be competitive against club players.This rubber does lean more towards defensive play personally but does mostly what I had imagined it to be. If you're just starting off, give this one a shot before you spend the big money.

Tried this rubber for my grandson’s first real setup, because its soft sponge and control fits the bill for the new player. Interestingly, it also works for this long-time pong addict, but for different reasons and in different situations.
Got an OFF+ blade that needs toning down a notch? Neo 325’s slower speed will take the heat off both sides (a bit), but the increased control will bring smiles.
Got a heavy 93g blade with T05 on the forehand that makes your setup feel like an anvil? Try Neo 325 on the backhand; it’s light weight will take 8-10 grams off the setup, and more shots will land on the table, instead of beyond it — from both sides.
Caution: boosting not recommended for this rubber, as it starts to feel almost mushy. Neo 325 is best applied for specific reasons and situations — 5 star rating is for those times!

I bought this rubber expecting great control, but the control is not that good, despite being soft and slow. Specifically, this rubber is difficult to control when looping and smashing, although flat smashes can produce award trajectories. However, blocking and pushing are easier to control. It is easy to put a moderate spin on the ball, but brushing the ball harder will only result in a marginal increase in spin. Overall, I'm disappointed and I don't recommend this rubber, especially if you are looking for an offensive rubber for loops, smashes, and drives. I used this on Xiom Aigis (defensive) blade.

Ideal for versatile play at intermediate level and if you love the "touch of the ball". Not very fast but it gives confidence to perform all strokes and try new ones (I discovered the confidence of backhand side-spin after 45 years of Ping!) because this rubber has extraordinary control: Even at max, it allows you to block against "bricks" from opponents ranked 6 levels above! Excellent for blocking and passive play, it's perfect for the backhand and quite versatile for forehand chop: the surface is certainly not very sticky, but the contact time transfers very strong backspin often fatal if the topspin opponent is too confident. Very light even in Max (no more tendinitis!) is ideal to mount on heavy carbon or combination wood even large, because everything remains light! At 2.0 mm it allows complete play at the table or mid-distance, and its combination with a mid-long rubber or long pimples is formidable for the opponent because the back of No 325, strongly perturbs and maintains control by rotating the racket to alternate with good pimples. The manufacturer doesn't call it "tensor" yet its double speed from significant elasticity accelerates attacks at high speed with precision and a nice "fast glue" sound. Former club coach for 8 years having tried 100+ rubbers, and it had been 20 years since I felt such sensations as if the plastic ball was becoming a celluloid ball again! I tried several rubbers ranked "best control" on Revspin. it is well above the Razanter 37 or Hexter SFX Andro and moreover No 325 wears out less quickly. In short, I mounted it in 3 thicknesses 1.8 / 2.0 / Max on various combination woods depending on the type of opposing player, it's great! This rubber is perfect for improving players ranked 9-14 gaining confidence to go deep into the ball without "splashing" and trying to reproduce shots of national players or champions.

This is by far the softest sponge I've ever seen! Got it in 1.8mm. It's so soft that harder balls easily push through to the blade (sounds more "woody" then). I'm not entirely sure if that's good or not, but I think I'll take a thicker version next time. And there WILL be a next time, this is a great rubber for me.
I want to keep my paddle as lightweight as possible. And with 51g uncut this is also the lightest rubber (in this thickness) I've ever had. If you like good control with a lightweight paddle, the Proton Neo 325 might be ideal for you.
Blocks work very fine, and serving is quite easy. With proper technique it can create a lot of spin. It probably lacks some speed for those who want it really fast, but this is not my style anyway.
