Changed from Nittaku Moristo SP to this. The sinking effect is so much more apparent, and speed much faster than the Moristo using the same stroke. Blocks are less forgiving compared to Moristo due to the harder rubber. Spin is comparable. Overall, I will pick this over the Moristo due to its sinking effect if you punch it during topspin play.

I am still learning to play with this rubber. Very good speed and surprised spin.
Deceptive is high here. hard pips and fast much better than raystorm in my perspective.
chris says the blocks are not very deceptive...well I disagree. I'm currently playing with this in 1.8 red and find the blocks to be devestating. Blocking/hitting with this rubber tends to cause a strong sinking ball that most opponents return into the net. The only problem though is that it's not the easiest rubber to control/attack with. I have mixed feelings about these pips. They are fast, deceptive, and easier to play with than medium pips. On the other hand, short pips rubbers like TSP Spectol, Raystorm, and 802-40 are much easier to control. If you can stick with this rubber and learn to play with it it can be very dangerous.
I used China rubbers for a long time. The last rubber is Haifu Penguin which is fast but difficult to control. The deception is poor. Blowfish+ is different with Blowfish including the pimple shape, arrangement and size. The rubber is excellent and you can make a beautiful curve.
Recently replaced BTF raystorm 1.9 with Andro blowfish 2.0 on my backhand. First impressions after application with water glue on a BTF balsa X5: Faster than heavy speedglued raystorm, and less spinny. Plays direct counterhits very much alike a fast pimple in rubber. Blocks are more difficult to perform, return rather high and are less deceptive - prefer to go 20-30 cm back and smash them. They return very fast and are difficult to counter. Can hit weak chops very effectively with just a fast wrist movement but heavy chops require footwork and training. Variations in underspin are easy but require delicate handling as ball pops up a lot.
