81g, which is light. For power, I'd want it closer to 87g. The feel is a bit soft. I put Dignics 09C on the forehand. As for distance, if you play mid-distance the power doesn't drop off. Playing away from the table is possible depending on your stamina, though it's not easy. Personally I felt Dignics 05 pairs better than 09C. On the backhand, Booster EV max thickness felt like a good match. I also put the same rubbers on a Fan Zhendong SALC at 85g, and
the control with the CNF version felt better. I got the sense I could actually win matches with it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I use Xiom Zair 03 (2.5mm) on the forehand, so I can get powerful drives on strong hits.
Meeting the ball for flat hits also comes with good control.
On the backhand I use the softer Tenergy 19,
and it makes pushes and topspin drives quite easy.
However, the bounce is strong, so the short game takes some getting used to. Stops, pushes, and the like are harder to handle than with an outer ALC.
There are a few downsides, but combined with the Viscaria-style grip and the great feel on contact, I think it's a good blade you can swing with both hands. It's expensive, but well worth the price.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

My swing leans a bit toward meeting the ball rather than full spin, and I kept getting long misses with topspin drives, so it was hard to keep them in.
The short game was fine, but I found myself wondering if the performance really matched the price. I also tried Tenergy 05 and 19, but they felt too soft and gave too clean an arc, so shots came back to me easily. Even with Dignics 05, the arc got too strong and it was easy to return. It's not a good match for power hitters. I also tried a tacky rubber — you could feel the good hold on the ball, but I don't think it's worth paying 40,000 yen for.
Also, speed shots were hard to produce, and hitting with the tacky rubber was pretty tough going.
In the end I got rid of it without ever finding a rubber that clicked, but I think it might suit players without much power, or players who generate speed through spin rather than muscle.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It's neither too hard nor too soft, just right, and it's easy to put spin on the ball. The speed is beyond complaint too.
