I'm using thick (2.0mm) rubber on the forehand.
The blade itself is 85g, and the total weight is 188g.
When I bought it, the shop staff told me "it flies quite a bit," so I was braced for it, but once I actually used it, the shots landed on the table just fine. Drives come out more straight-line than arcing. This might be due to the Jikihai carbon layer inside. Loops also come out on a fairly low trajectory and are easy to lift.
The grip is on the thicker side, so on the backhand, power transfers into the ball easily. It also resonates nicely in your hand.
You can feel some hardness, but it's not extremely hard.I think this is a really well-balanced blade.
There's a bit of extra pop on the ball.By the way, there was a Viscaria Super ALC of the same weight in the shop, so I bounced balls off both, and I didn't notice much difference in either the pop or the hardness. They might be very similar. The blade shape near the grip is like Stiga's or DHS's blades, so it's not well suited to a deep grip.
The original carbon version felt like it resonated in the hand a bit more, I think.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Since it's an outer-carbon blade, the feel on light hits is on the harder side, but for hard hits and meet-shots it doesn't fly as much as I expected.
Compared to the Tamas Viscaria-type blades, the core feels a bit softer and gives a better hold on the ball.
I think this suits players who want better control without losing drive power, or those who want more arc since the trajectory tends to be flat.For an outer-carbon blade, it's easy to handle, so if you pair it with a harder high-end rubber, tension or tacky, I think it'll make for a very usable blade overall while still bringing out the rubber's characteristics.
It might feel a bit lacking for players who are already used to outer-carbon blades.

The first time I bought it, I had Blue Grip J1 on the forehand and Blue Grip J2 on the backhand, the feel and handling were great, but with my own physical ability I couldn't really make full use of the J1 (it's tough when it's too hard for me to attack on my own)
Right now I have Blue Grip J2 on the forehand and Dignics 09C on the backhand, feel and handling on the forehand are good, but the backhand doesn't quite click for me.
Personally I think Blue Grip J2 on both sides would suit me better, rubbers with a strong catapult effect seem really hard to handle.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I think it suits tacky rubber well.
With a tension rubber, it flies quite a bit, so you need a fair amount of skill to handle it.
Also, without a certain amount of power, I don't think you can generate much spin on your drives.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard
