Imo, all these need a bit of booster. The dense ("no" bubble) sponge is better with it (I use only 1 layer). The X P-X is not very light, but still not as heavy as Nittaku H3PTB. But normal H3 is lighter, if you need it... My setup is now 200g, blade is 91,5g now (it was 93g but needed repair), and I use quite some glue. But don't know exactly how much the sheets are.
My DFVP 39 is 48g including 3 thin layers of Revolution No. 3 glue and plays nice without booster. Haven't had it for very long though. So it's still kinda first impression. My overall setup is now only 182g (90g blade, 44g bh).

I just found my earlier post: The Xuperman is only 1g cut heavier than DFVP, so both are a bit heavier than e.g. H3 BS.

It was DFVP H40, and Xuperman was stretched (due to boosting) and overlap cut, but actually so was DFVP, so the diff. will not be dramatic I think.

I like Xuperman more than DFVP, but it's not that easy to get, so I'll stay with H3 BS and R9 for the next season. Maybe I'll try C57.5, the feeling from C55 was actually quite pleasant, just bad durability. Cheers.

yeah haha, I thought about it but convinced myself its just the same as a regular Rxton 5
But it has colooors hahaha
On a side note it seems to use Kunlun sponge, so it isnt the same loxa (dense) one that rxton 5 regular and pro uses...
IT looks like the one arthur asia or china uses. Or rxton pink maybe but black.

Which hardness would you suggest ? To pair with yinhe u2 for beginning... Which side...

I don't know if I can be of too much help here. I used to play VP 39 on Yinhe Pro 01. When I tried it on a 7 ply all wood blade the thow angle was too low for me. I've only used the VP 39 on forehand.
