    Compared to Tenergy 05, I get the sense that the ball leaves the racket on an incredible arc right from the rally stage. It feels like it shoots upward the instant it touches the sheet. So I felt this is a pretty different animal from Tenergy. I think 05 is also positioned as a spin-oriented tension rubber, but this one felt like it had even more spin.
    Drives... the spin on loop drives is ridiculous. It's on par with or better than Evolution MX-P, and even though I'm the type who brushes the ball to generate spin, I get a nice clean arc without any trouble. That said, if you don't hit it properly, it's a hard rubber, so the ball will fly straight into the net.
    Playing back from the table... the speed isn't as much as I expected (though this isn't a fair comparison since I'm measuring against Tenergy 05), but I think anyone with enough strength and practice can cover that gap with technique.
    Short game... pushes and chiquitas both go smoothly. It's supposed to be hard, but the feel wasn't as hard as I expected.

    For someone who attacks with heavy spin and has enough skill to back it up, I think Q5, G1, and MX-P are the ones I'd recommend!

    I switched over from Tenergy 80.
    The speed felt like it dropped off a touch, but the spin clearly went up. As a spin-oriented tension rubber, true to its name, I felt it was excellent. The bounce is plenty, the feel on contact is soft for its hardness, the grip on the ball is good, and it grips exactly the way you'd expect. Balls going out has clearly gone down — shots draw an arc and land on the table more often now.
    For players who aren't the type to attack hard with speed but instead like to build up spin, connect with topspin rallies, and then finish off the chance when it comes, I think this is a fantastic rubber.

    I switched from Tenergy 64FX for backhand use.
    It can do just about anything, and it's stable. Since I switched from a 64, the speed is obviously noticeably lower, but it's still more than enough. For backhand receives, I mostly go with a full topspin drive or a chiquita, and especially with chiquita, the ball lands on the table much more often now. (Of course, part of that is just my own lack of skill with the 64.) It feels a little short on initial speed for close-to-the-table quick attacks on the backhand, but I think it suits a topspin drive player who relies heavily on drives and chiquitas. Honestly, I feel like this might be it for my backhand.
    The price also seems to be gradually coming down, so I think it's great for anyone attacking with backhand drives, or anyone who wants a rubber that can handle everything on the forehand.

    I used this on the backhand as a replacement for Vega Asia DF.
    It flies a lot, so blocking is really easy. Being the FX version, it's softer and I expected it to be easy to handle, but Vega Asia DF was still much easier to control overall. Part of this is that my own backhand technique isn't great, but even with backhand hitting, I kept sending balls long at first (because it flies so much), and drives were a real struggle. That said, when I could commit fully and swing through — like on a chiquita — I could feel balls going in that wouldn't have gone in before. So both spin and speed are excellent. But on balls where I couldn't commit and just tapped nervously, it basically never went in. Just block it and it goes in the net; swing a little and it flies out. That's the feel of it. I think it's a great rubber if you have the technique to handle it, but I really felt it's for advanced players. This is a rubber for national-level players, or those aiming for that level. Next, I'm thinking of trying something like Rozena.

    Rallies/drives... the ball feels like it's really flying through.
    The short game... it can get a bit rough, I think, but it's a level you can fully adjust for with technique and rubber choice.
    Playing away from the table... since it's carbon, I don't think you'll lose out on power.

    That said, it's not really a "this is what an outer blade feels like" kind of blade — I think it depends a lot on the rubber. Compared to the Inner Force Layer ALC, I felt they were pretty similar. If anything, the feel here is a bit harder. Still, among outer carbon blades, it has a gentle feel, and there's almost none of that wild, uncontrollable flying sensation. I think it suits people making their debut with an outer blade, or people who want a blade with more carbon character than a 5-ply, but not overly wild.
