I've been using it on my bh for about 2 months. The rubber felt very hard, even harder than the C55, mainly due to the topsheet. I wasn't expecting to be able to play with such high end rubber, especially on bh. Previously played with G1. Drives were incredibly fast, yet very controlled, precise and direct. The trajectory is long with medium arc. Topspins are fast and spiny. The topsheet has impeccable grip as it "bites" into the ball, giving good dwell time and also some safeness. Looping is amazing, as you can perform slow and shallow topspins, or just rip it and watch the ball fly in the corner of the table. Flicks feel amazing and deadly. Receives are great. I was surprised by how much backspin I could generate with long pushes. Short game is amazing, as the rubber isn't bouncy. Blocks feel amazing, very stable, precise, with great pace and speed. Xiom isn't lying when they say this rubber has "conflicting characteristic". This rubber doesn't have any weaknesses while also delivering high-end performances in all areas. The only downside is the price. Durability wise, seems to last a very long time. It still looks like new. The blade I am using is a Nittaku Septear Feel Inner.

In the beginning it was slightly tacky with insane grip and therefore the Spin was very high aswell. Sadly for me it didnt last like that and its Spin capabilitys went down slightly.
Speed was very high, once you put a little force into it.
This rubber is pretty hard, which makes it very precise and and decent for short game and Serves.
BUT you need good technique and cant get lasy, otherwise your shots will go long! It is more for direkt players with a forward stroke and less for looping.
Try Training with it even if you arent the best player. Once you can play good with this one, you will be as confident as never before with your usual Rubbers.
Surpisingly good for Chopping on slower Blade too :D

Designed to play easier than the Dignics 09c because it is softer but the spin and the spring is equal to that of the Dignics 09c. Designed for very high level players.
Feels closest to Dignics 09c.
