This rubber can significantly enhance the characteristics of any blade you pair it with. I initially used it with a very fast blade (7-ply wood with 2 carbon layers), and blocking was extremely challenginglikely due to my skill level. The rubber is so soft that it bottoms out easily, allowing the ball to hit the wood with minimal effort. I didnt enjoy this combination at all.
However, after switching to a FLEXTRA (all-wood blade), the pairing worked beautifully. The control was excellent, active blocking became very manageable, and I could easily execute a wide variety of shots. This setup quickly became my favorite for the backhand.
I also tested it on the forehand, but it felt like it lacked the extra gears you'd get with slightly harder rubbers.
Overall, this rubber is a fantastic choice for backhand players who value control and versatility, but forehand players might prefer something with a bit more hardness for added power.
