    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.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised for its lightweight design and well-balanced performance without carbon materials. However, some users find the impact feel hard and the bounce insufficient for their preference.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Lightweight construction that allows heavy rubbers to be easily handled
    • Excellent balance between spin and control characteristics
    • Particularly strong in counter-attacks and short-range touches at the net
    • Impact feel from outer material varies by personal preference
    • Suitable for beginners through advanced players across all levels
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveOutstanding power and impact feel with remarkable ball extension. Versatile racket excellent for counter-attacks in the front court, aggressive drives in mid-court, and power-driven loops in the back court.
    ▽ CriticalThe outer material creates a somewhat hard impact feel. Strong shots tend to result in more overshooting errors.

      Timo Boll? ? (Experience: 6〜10 years) Sharp bounce

      Player reviews

      The feel is on the softer side and it's easy to control. Since it doesn't have carbon, it doesn't bounce as much as the ALC or ZLC versions in the same series, but it still flies just fine. It also flies sharply and consistently. I felt that medium to soft hardness rubbers suit it well.

      Bisukaria Close to the perfect blade!

      Player reviews

      It gives a balanced impression. For a Timo Boll series blade, I don't think it bounces that much. The speed isn't too fast, the spin isn't lacking, the control isn't bad, and the feel is pretty good and easy to use — overall a good racket. The ball feels a bit light, but it's not a problem. Since it's light, it works fine even with a heavy rubber. Hmm, I really have nothing to complain about···. For me, it's pretty close to my ideal racket. It can be used at any level — beginner, intermediate, or advanced. The speed doesn't feel excessive, so you get exactly the kind of ball you want. Hmm, no complaints at all.

      Ran (Experience: 6〜10 years) Control, spin, and feel are the best

      Player reviews

      If you put Tenergy on it, the speed is fine and it doesn't fly too much, so the short game and serves are easy to do.

      Inner Force (Experience: 2〜3 years) Awesome

      Player reviews

      Even though it's part of the Timo Boll series, I found the control really good. Both speed and spin
      perform well, so I think it's good overall. That said, the feel is a bit particular, so I think people's opinions on it will be split.
