So tonight I tried it. I glued Goldarc 8 47 on both sides and brought with me the blades I play right now, which are Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition and Sanwei Fextra 7 both with Fastarc g1/c1.

The Sanwei 54 ALC is very fast. I know Goldarc is bouncier than G1. But this blade feels noticeably faster than the 7plys. It also played faster than yinhe pro 05 and fang bo 2bx. But its been some time since I played those.
What I can say is that the 54 ALC feels very woody; the vibrations feel very similar to the fextra 7. Yinhe pro 05 had a more pronounced carbon feel.

So this blade is a keeper for me, it has great feeling behaves similar to 7ply but is faster. I love the handle. Maybe next season I will play this.
Apparently this blade asks for Hurricane 3 on the forehand
