Averages reviews points
- Speed: 8
- Spin: 8.46
- Control: 8.5
- High Performance Model With ZL-Fiber
-
Features the use of Butterfly's ZL fiber.
ZL fiber is harder, more flexible and lighter in weight than carbon fiber.
This results in a light weight blade which can produce a maximum amount of topspin with maximum control.
The perfect blade for the all-round looping style.

Moebius (Experience: ２〜３ years) Ultimate power and the ultimate feel❗️

I've used a ton of rackets so far, but I've never had one this good‼︎ The power and the feel are outstanding, and the way the ball extends is amazing!
Close to the table you can do counters and blocks, at mid-distance you can hit powerful topspin drives, and away from the table you can do power drives that take advantage of that ball extension.
It's not just good on attack — you can also defend well with things like lobs. If there's one drawback, it's that the ball might fly so much that you have trouble controlling it.
But once you can control that, it'll be a racket that levels you up bit by bit! Also, if you use rubber that matches the Timo Boll ZLF, you'll be able to freely pull off things like loop drives and chiquitas!
The Timo Boll ZLF was the best racket, capable of producing legendary plays‼️Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

I've used this blade for about 3 years and tried a lot of different rubbers on it, but Tenergy 64 is still the best. The looping feel is really good, but the one issue is the trampoline effect — the light core just isn't strong enough.

The balance I'd been looking for is right here.
If you feel like ALC isn't quite it, you really should give this a try.Glue on a hard, slightly tacky tension rubber and it makes a sound almost like carbon. Smashes, drives, counters — whichever you pick, it becomes a weapon.
And of course, with a high-performance rubber like Tenergy, it really shows its true value.

It's not that this is light just because it has long pips — the wood itself is light.
Since it has ZL fiber, even as a 5-ply blade it still has a solid bounce.
Also, I like the design lolOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I borrowed this from an acquaintance — for an outer-ply blade, the ball stays on it for a long time, and the bounce isn't that different from what I'm using now. Since the ball stays on longer you can push with spin, and it has good speed too, so the balance is great. If you want a bit more bounce than an inner-ply blade while keeping that outer-ply ball-holding feel, this is the one to go with.

In the Timo Boll series, the ALC is so overwhelmingly popular that the others tend to get overshadowed, but the ZLF doesn't have much of a distinct character and is relatively easy to handle, so I feel like intermediate players might actually find more stability using the ZLF instead of reaching for the ALC.

I just like table tennis (Experience: ２〜３ years) Less bounce than expected, easy to handle

I borrowed this from a friend, and personally I felt the rubber was on the soft side — I think a harder rubber would make it easier to put spin on. It gave me stable shots whether I stood back or played close to the table, so that was nice. The grip is squarish, so it might not be to everyone's taste...
