Palio CJ8000 Light and Fast

This has the 1.4mm "C" topsheet which has the most grip of all the CJ8000s. Make sure to get the red sheet as it has more spin, higher throw and better feel than the black. Black is tackier and softer but I think red plays noticeably better. The ball just bites into the red sheet more. I have used 4 sheets and the sponges can be a little inconsistent in hardness. On average, the softness of the sponge is about the same as Tenergy FX series but slower speed. Each new sheet takes some adjusting to, but it will play great once you do. Suitable for both FH and BH. Cut sheet weighs about 40 grams.

This sticky rubber is neither light nor fast, but it has a good control and generates enough spin. His speed probably may be too low for most players. In my opinion, the hardness is in the range of 40 and 42 degree at int. scale !!! (- official 38 – 41°) The weight, complete with package, for my red rubber in max thickness, was 85 g. Uncut with protection film, it weighs 62 g and on my blade 150 x 158 mm at last 44 g. For this rubber I would recommend medium and soft blades with much speed. (- ... if you´re not a defender!) - you can buy this rubber for an unbeatable price (around 7 - 8 €) on Ali-Express !!!!
