    I've got max-thickness Fastarc G-1 on both sides. Total weight is 195g. That includes 3 coats of Racket Protect, 2 coats of Free Chack II, side tape, and the weight of the tacky rubber film.

    Before this, I was using a 170g Fly Att Carbon. The weight went up, but my swing speed hasn't changed much, so
    it's got great stability and more power behind the ball now. There's a slight sense of the ball sticking to the rubber on contact, and the feel is nice too (I think the rubber contributes to that as well). Also, when I hit a reasonably hard shot, it lands right where I'm aiming. On the other hand, with a lighter swing, I found it harder to control.
    Drives are also very easy to hit. It generates speed. Since I'm using a spin-oriented rubber, the spin is amazing too.

    Update: maybe because I've gotten used to it, drives are lifting really well now too. If anything, I can close the racket angle a bit and still land attacking shots to the forehand, backhand, and middle from close to mid-distance without any trouble. Even from far off the table, I can trade shots comfortably. Smashes also come out with real power. With practice, I've gotten used to soft touches as well. Flicks come out with power too.
