I think I was talking that AZX Pro is demanding and I am 100% sure that is right since I paired it with demanding rubbers and the two together is guess what? 2x Demanding. But with more forgiving rubbers I think it is great.
Why? Because the blade has this base potential in speed and accuracy. So even if you pair it with a rubber that has not that much spin but spin it works so well.

On ZLC side Glayzer is great, enough speed, great control , great spin too, very comfy and safe combo and durable.

I've been playing around on the ALC side a lot with Chinese rubbers, actually the less demanding rubbers felt the best, and more demanding were more demanding.

So seems like I need to find a great FH rubber that is easy to use and the blade can push it to be great. Quanshibao F1 so far seems the best, Piny Cuifeng is not bad but more demanding, Quanshibao P1 is very very demanding...

So manybe some German sticky rubbers or even Glayzer 09c on FH I can imagine to be just about right.
well, I didn't play with AZX Pro but with AZXi Pro and Dignics09c is really good on this blade, the only problem is that the blade is ultra heavy, and the whole combo goes up to 200g ... and then I grab a blade that has 188g and everything seems so much easier ...

I know nothing about these chinese rubbers, you're lucky I guess you know how to get them in China.

But G09C I think could tick the boxes, it's easier to play than the D09C for me (but I know certain Badger who uses D09C on both sides ;-) ). Anyway it definitely is slower than D09C, but it can also be an advantage, I see with Rxton 9 some shots, let's say poor shots I don't overshoot, they land, and on my level it's enough. I've recommended the G09C/Glayzer combo to two people already.

200+ is too much. I'm talking about 185gish weight with good chinese and glayzer on it. The blade is 87g. Also one of my gripes with Pinyi and Quanshibao P1 that feels a bit heavy, with F1 it's around 185g. Dignics shouldn't be much heavier, maybe a gram or two.

I used G09c before, I really like it in fact. And on a quite demanding and fast blade as a comfort rubber I think it would work too. It's fairly light too, and the extra unbounciness is more of a blessing than a curse. And it can be easily air boosted too which is just amazing. I liked it on W968 and Cybershape and I would consider both as comfort blades. Maybe it was way too comfortable that way, so I guess on an edgy blade even better.
