Anybody played w/ this rubber? Is it fast? Sticky? Spinny? I thought all DHS rubbers have hard sponges, like Hurricane. But G555 seems to have a soft sponge of 36 degrees. I heard DHS has a different scale for sponge hardness, though.

Yes its pretty soft. It is BAD for looping, but found it good for blocking/hitting. Not very spinny (compared to hurricane :P)

Sponge is about 36 degrees.  Mildly tacky topsheet, about like Inspirit red.  Plays more like a euro/jap hybrid along the same lines as Six Shooter, Inspirit, HK1997...... ect.  Medium to medium-low throw.  You can loop with it but its not like looping with H3 or TG2.  Good for blocking and driving, also decent short game.  Still uses and moderately thick topsheet so the weight is not as light as you would think from a 36 degree sponge rubber.

Yes, that's what it says on the package. I use it on the fh, though, to replace the dead Sriver FX. I like to use bh rubbers on the fh as they have more control, and I don't need much speed to put the ball away at my level.

I've played with it for a session. The manufacturer says it's got a speed 11/12 and spin 8/12, which is a little surprising to me as it's got a pretty tacky top sheet w/ a sponge just a little harder than the Sriver. I think the speed may come from the springy sponge and I think it's pretty spinny (compared to sriver)  and controllable. So overall I like it.
