- High Performance Model With ZL-Carbon

The Timo Boll ZLC offers the traditional Carbon feel and power, but the flexibility of the ZL Fiber holds the ball longer than traditional Carbon blades.
Increased dwell time allows you to produce maximum speed & spin.
The perfect blade for the power attacker who likes to both loop & smash to win points.

I think it's a really good racket. That said, the blade is stiff, so you might feel like your drives don't lift as much as you'd like. Light taps feel pretty hard too. It doesn't absorb the ball much, so stops tend to pop up a bit. Well, that might just be my technique though (^^;. Drives come out more on the flat side, but loops grip well, and thanks to the special material, speed drives are really fast. I'd recommend this for hardcore loop drivers!

I borrowed this from a friend on my club team. The forehand had Yasaka's Shouryu on it, and the backhand had Nittaku's P-1.
So basically, think of it as a slightly tacky rubber on the forehand and a tension rubber on the backhand.
First off, the average weight is 86g, so I'd say it's about normal weight. It's not especially heavy, and I didn't feel like the recovery was slow even when I swung hard. Also, since it uses ZLC, it really does bounce well, lol. But it doesn't cause overshooting misses either - it bounces just the right amount! It's also easy to block with, and the grip felt comfortable to hold. If I had to point out a downside, it's that using ZLC makes it a bit pricey, lol. But other than that, I think it's a great racket with no issues in play.
Hope this helps!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

I'm a right-handed looper. My forehand drive is stable, so I'd recommend this for attacking players. The backhand has an all-round feel to it.

Personally I found this easier to use than the Timo Boll ALC. The ALC makes blocking close to the table easy, but I felt it was tough at mid-distance and away from the table unless the rubber was at max thickness.
I think the Timo Boll ZLC is a blade that doesn't favor any one distance — close, mid, or away from the table. I think medium or thick rubber thickness is enough too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It took me about a month to get used to this blade. The good point is the ball flies flat and feels like it drives right in, and if you swing through it'll go in even with a bit of a forced shot. The bad point is that when hitting from farther back it didn't fly as far as I expected. I guess it's that the trajectory is too flat, making it hard to clear the net. As for rubber, I felt a harder rubber works better. At the very least, when I put Vega Europe on my backhand it felt really off. So far the one that's worked best for me personally is the G1. It's a blade with a bit of quirk to it, so I think you need enough skill not to get pushed around by the blade.

For a ZLC blade, it doesn't bounce too much and feels soft, so it was easy to control.
That said, "for a ZLC" is the key phrase — the ball still leaves the blade fast. I think a slightly harder rubber like the Tenergy series
or Fastarc G-1 would be good. With a soft rubber I feel like it would actually be
harder to control, so I think you should choose your rubber carefully.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

If you swing through properly on both forehand and backhand it goes in, but if you swing half-heartedly it goes long, that kind of feel ^^
Especially with topspin drives and short-game attacks the ball comes out with real power, so I think it's easy to take the initiative.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch
