A model with TAMCA 5000 which is good for explosive power when attacking; the enchantment is not only the power in attack but also the ease of use brought by the notably thin blade. Zhang Jike Series

I knew this blade was fast, so I tried putting Bryce Speed on both sides lol
When I hit with it, the rubber and blade matched well, but this combo was way too strong to actually use lol. The ball shoots out at the same instant I swing and stabs into the opponent's court.
I'd really recommend it to speed players over spin players, but you might want to avoid a speed-oriented rubber with it (^ω^)Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I asked my local table tennis shop if there was a blade with a thick construction and huge fly, like the Iolite FL, and what they recommended was the Zhang Jike T5000.
Honestly, in terms of how much it flies, I thought "eh, this is about it" — it was a bit lacking compared to the Iolite FL.It comes out to about 194g, but when I can swing properly it lands right on the table. And over the table, it has more reach than other special-material blades I've tried.
It's not that there's zero ball-holding, but the sense of holding the ball is only momentary.
It requires a more delicate touch, and combined with the total weight of 194g, it might be tough to use in an actual match, but it's an extremely fun blade to just play around with.
If you let your guard down even a little and just make contact, you'll end up with a beautifully flat, powerless ball.For those from the generation that competed using speed glue with blades like the Iolite, Primorac Carbon, or Schlager along with Bryce or Catapult, this might feel a bit lacking.

This blade is really fast, but the control and spin aren't all that great.

I switched over from the Amultart (3-ply + ZLC), so this review comes from someone already used to a bouncy blade. Being a T5000, it's got plenty of bounce, but since the blade itself is thin, the control isn't as bad as you'd expect. It's the kind of blade that gives you speed when you need it and lets you hold back appropriately when you want to. This might be because I'm using medium-hardness rubber on both sides, but blocking and countering are both very easy to do. Serving is also manageable for a bouncy blade — putting out short, sharply cut serves is relatively easier than with the Amultart. It's probably too bouncy for someone with a lot of power, so I'd recommend it for players who aren't so confident in their power. Even without much power, you can hit a chiquita with quite a lot of speed. It's not going to appeal to as wide a range of players as some of the other easy-to-use blades out there, but if you match it well with the right rubber, I think it could satisfy a fairly wide range of players.

I'm currently using the Lin Gaoyuan ALC, so I'll write a comparison review.
Speed: Zhang Jike T5000>Lin Gaoyuan ALC
Spin: Zhang Jike T5000<Lin Gaoyuan ALC
Control: Zhang Jike ALC<Lin Gaoyuan ALC
The Lin Gaoyuan ALC has better balance, but if you want that extra bit of speed, the Zhang Jike T5000 is clearly better.
It depends on your skill level, but a slightly softer rubber under 45 degrees, or one with a softer topsheet, is easier to control than a hard rubber.
It also pairs well with short pips, so you can play close to the table with quick taps, drive aggressively from mid-to-far distance, or attack hard with a tacky rubber - all work well!
If you want more speed & power than what you have now, don't hesitate to give it a shot.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

This is my newest racket. It's amazing‼︎
The power of attacks from away from the table is especially incredible.
I used to use an Innerforce Layer ZLC,
but this one is way faster.
It's a bit hard to control at first, but
once you get used to it, it'll definitely become your strongest weapon.
Definitely give it a try‼︎Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
