I was really disappointed with this rubber as I thought it had more flexibility and would be able to provide a controlled attacking game. Its advertised as being able to 'effortless loop' which in many cases is true and on a slow blade such as an Andro All+ it is very easy to control and you can loop endlessly. Anything quicker than this, or if you're trying to play a more attacking game, makes it very difficult to control.
There are two areas which this rubber fails in particularly. Firstly the durabilty is incredibly bad. Large chunks came off the topsheet within a couple of weeks and it seems to have gone 'dead' after a couple of months. Secondly don't buy this rubber for a good blocking game. I was hoping it would give me more touch with the block but it seems hard to control despite it coming off the rubber slowly on the block, meaning when the ball does go back over your opponent will have a long time for his next shot.
My Joola Express Two which I tried previously was much more durable and easier to control despite it being a fair bit quicker, a much higher quality rubber and worth the extra money.
I think this rubber is most suited to only long distance game but I'm sure there are many better options available.
