Purchased from: TTNPP @ $15
Colour: Black
Boosted with: Falco Long Term Booster, 1 layer
Tested on: Hayabusa Zxi

Out of the package:
This rubber is fairly tacky out of the package. The sponge is medium-hard and the rubber is half-curled like a swiss roll. There is a strong smell of booster which is strange because of the curl (I would expect boosted rubbers to lie flat of have a reverse curl). The sponge is medium-soft, around as hard as Xiom Sigma Euro. The top-sheet seems very elastic, and is thin which indicates a high throw given the tack. The rubber weighs a surprising 61g uncut which is fairly light for a chinese tacky.

Boosting:
The rubber was curled, to ease in gluing, I applied a layer of booster to flatten it.

Day 1:
The rubber has a medium to medium high-throw angle, enough to clear the net. Control on serves is great, comparable to H3N. The tack is just a little less compared to H3 Neo, not by much. It is noticeably faster than H3N, but the throw is also noticeably lower (although not low enough for  a BH rubber).
Loops just fine, occasional loops skid off the table like they do with a good chinese topsheet. The trajectory on loops was good and most of my loops stayed low on the other side.
I does not seem to have a very low gear today, and required good touch close to the net. Blocking was good and effortless. The rubber reacts a bit to incoming spin which I like in a FH rubber and service receive was good.


Conclusion:
I just bought this for giggles and was never serious about this rubber. The quality is however very good. I will be surprised if it continues to play this good. Its light-weight, spinny and has more speed than H3N.
I'll keep updating this thread.

I have similar experiences with Darker VLON-S Purple D. Wait 9-10 hours of gaming to break the rubber -then you will see real and specifications.
