I use it both sides with fan zhendong alc, and it is amazing for counter looping mid distance, backhand flicks and drives, and forehand topspin basically agasint any spin. I have tested hurricane and i think it is great but even when it is boosted it still requires too much power too generate high end speed. Dignics 09c is more all round, if you didnt generate enough power the ball can still hit the other end comfortably. Brilliant rubber for agressive two wing loopers👍
