From manufacturer:

Speed	11.5 / 12
Spin	11.0 / 12
Control	11.0 / 12
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	Yes

From community:

Speed	9.0
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.9
Control	8.8
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	6.8 - Medium tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	5.4 - Medium
Weight	6.2 - Medium-heavy
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	7.1 - Medium-hard
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	7.3 - Above average gears
Durability	8.1 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	9.3
Overall	8.5 4.3

This is one of the fastest ,spiniest rubber among Chinese rubbers.(glued with Water Base Glue)
The only problem might be its weight, is heavy (lesser than Blue Whale II).Great rubber for the price, a favorite of mine.

Fast, spinny, with control and cheap. IÂ´m loving it.

This rubber is the best, cheapest rubber I have tried yet.
Cheap enough to replace frequently and performs like a world class rubber. Edges hold up well. 5 coats of water based glue recommended.

Very cheap but good rubber. Think it works best with stiff/carbon blades. Got it no my BH on a Senkoh 85 (1Ply) shakehand. Its a bit dead at medium speed. Need some technique to use it well and get the best out of it. If you like chinese rubbers with hard sponge and super spinny rubber, BUY IT !!!

I had it on my Galaxy T-11 and it wasn't good for loops, so for me I think it would be best on a flexible blade. It's really spinny so serves are great but it's also pretty sensitive to incoming spin. It's also really fast.

advantages price and durability and disadvantages the weight, mainly in black rubber max. in red rubber of 2,2mm not as much. The red rubber with green sponge, is but fast .ligera and better than the black with green sponge, that is slow and heavy. the red one can be used of right or reverse. good relation quality price.

Im using it With Reactor DJ600 blade and it is amazing loop side spin, very good control, easy to handle, plus little bit tacky. I can say its all araound rubber suite for intermediate and beginner.
