Then you'd better use frictionless LP or fast antispin rubber like 729 804. As far as I remember, Spectol on PC behaved much like fast anti, but with more speed and longer trajectory.

Right. On softer, brushy strokes hinoki behaves like a soft wood and gives you some dwell to control. That is why PC is very good for slow spinny loops if you have the right timing and technique. But the problem is that you never brush the ball with SP, you either hit with power, block or drive through the ball. These shots make hinoki behave like a very hard wood, and even more hard with the t5000 carbon underneath. It's like playing with a frying pan: very fast rebound, no arc at all, and no time to control the shot direction.
With a Clipper you have much more options to speed up or slow down the rally, redirect your blocks and even loop with your SP.

That's not the experience that I have. After using T05 and T64 for a long time I switched to short pips both sides and they are great with primorac carbon because primorac has thick hinoki outerplies. Great control and very nice to play with unlike the ovtcharov carbospeed which has much thinner hinoki outerplies and plays like you describe.

What is the maximum weight range of PC? Do 95g pieces exist?

Damn, which short pips are you using? Maybe I'll buy one setup like that just for fun to experience some bang bang bang table tennis hahaha

Goodness, if you use TBS with T05 and still can't generate speed, the equipment is the last thing you need to worry about.

-andro treiber fo/s
-donic persson world champion 89
-donic crest off
-yinhe t8s
-andro treiber q
-butterfly zhang jike super zlc
-butterfly zhang jike t5000
could be some alternatives that are similar to viscaria but a bit faster.
there's so many different blades LOL

or just start using some booster to liven up the rubbers.

BTY rates it at 88g but it's easy to find a 90+ grams.
95g would make it an absolute beast Tongue
Mine is 85g with two G1 on it and it's really fast already but has enough dwell for slow loops. 
High throw inverted rubbers are recommended.

Btw, the ST handle is really thick.... a great surprise coming from TB ALC.
