I was hoping to move up from Tenergy 05 to a Dignics, and since I'd seen reviews saying 05 flies too much, I decided to try this one out. It didn't work for me. The ball really sticks to the sheet — it's true tacky rubber — and I couldn't get used to that slow, sluggish feeling of the ball leaving the racket. On top of that it's hard, doesn't grip the ball much, and doesn't go forward. It might be good for someone who really cranks hard topspin drives, but for someone like me who's used to and loves the auto quality of Tenergy 05, it was overkill. You do get great, heavily spun shots, but once a rally goes on I can't keep it up physically and end up hitting flat, spinless balls into the net. It was easier to use than Spinart, but with my level of skill I just couldn't get myself to adapt my game to this rubber. I could feel that if you can master it, it's the strongest rubber out there, whenever I really cranked the spin on... but that was about it for me.

How you perceive the feel of a blade differs from person to person, and maybe there's also some individual variation between units? In any case, my Viscaria doesn't feel hard or have that wild, unpredictable bounce at all. If anything, it feels moderately flexible and soft, while still drawing a high-speed arc when you swing hard — it seems like an ideal ace blade for an inverted-inverted drive player. Personally, I find it more focused and easier to use than the same maker's Inner Force Layer ZLC ALC. I don't think I can go back to an inner blade anymore. If you work your way through 5-ply → 7-ply → inner → outer, you should be able to really feel that this is a top-tier blade. I'm personally not a fan of blades named after players, so I think I'll be sticking with this one for a long time.

My thoughts after using it on both sides. Basically it's soft and grips the ball well.
On the forehand, it feels "weaker" compared to Tenergy 05. The feel is somewhere between Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 05 FX. It grips well with outer carbon blades, but shots barely clear the net and there's not much sense of speed on the forehand. Tenergy 80 actually feels firmer and faster.
On the backhand it's really good. Easy to grip the ball and easy to control. Blocking is excellent. That said, if you're the type who steps back and then smashes hard on the backhand, the bounce might feel a bit lacking. There's not much sense of speed, but you can really rip spin on when you get a chance. Compared to Rozena, the sheet feels firmer and it's more stable.
Also, with an inner carbon blade the feel gets blurry on both sides.
If you normally use softer rubbers, or if you use the FX version of Tenergy, this feels like one step up from that.

It doesn't have as much of that "crazy flying" feel people often talk about. If you've been using an outer carbon blade like ALC, you should be able to use this without much of an adjustment. If you're switching from an inner ZLC, you might notice the extra bounce.
The biggest feature is the "feel." To put it negatively, it's "hard." To put it positively, it's a "crisp, refreshing snap." If you're someone who likes a vague sense of wood feel and flex, you might prefer the outer ZLC - an outer ALC still gives a fair bit of shock to your hand. The outer wood layer being soft, and the total thickness being a touch thin, do a good job of offsetting the hardness of the ZLC. If your stops don't stop, your serves pop off the blade, or you can't get spin on the ball - that comes down to skill, not the blade.
Thanks to that crisp, refreshing snap, I think this would suit not only hardcore loop drivers but also close-to-the-table quick-attack players who like a good tempo and aim for gaps. It could also work well for seniors or women who lack power and want the blade to make up for speed - by lowering the rubber thickness you can bring down the total weight, which might give you a blade with a good tempo and a weight that's easy on the arm.
Personally, I especially like the feel on the backhand side. To soften up that hard sensation, going one level softer with Tenergy 80 on both sides is probably the smart, ideal rubber choice. (You might get an easier grip on the ball that way.)

Compared to the 7-ply Swat, this one bounces more, but the feel and the flex are both better on this one. A lot of reviews describe it as quite hard, but to me it has a good amount of flex and a really satisfying sound on contact - a super blade. The ball leaving the blade doesn't feel especially fast either. On the forehand, it also puts way more spin on the ball than carbon-reinforced blades (inner or outer). Since it averages over 90g, if you're worried about weight or can't swing all the way through, I'd steer clear. If you go and pick a lighter unit of this kind of heavyweight blade, you end up with a kind of hollow feel and never get the blade's real characteristics, so don't do that. If someone using a carbon blade tries this, they should really feel how much easier it is to put spin on the ball and to control shots, blocks included. With its moderate bounce, I think it also works well with short pips on the backhand.
