One thing rarely mentioned in rubber statistics is the throw angle - the height the rubber naturally sends the ball. This is not the same as the ability to lift a ball that the sticky rubbers have, a high throw will put the ball upwards even on a flat stroke.
This has an incredibly high throw angle, making it useless for over the table players (you need to aim about 18 inches shorter - easier to get a different rubber than re-calibrate all my shots). Using it for off the table topspin is a joy though - not as spinny as a Chinese sticky, but much faster. Great for long sidespin serves - the ball arrives at the opponent too quickly for them to read spin from the flight and is really rotating.
So if you feel you need a passport to play the far side of the white line this is a 5 star rubber, although there are faster rubbers out there. Players of Chinese stickies who are after more speed or the Tackies should consider this.
