From the very first forehand hit, I felt a completely different feel compared to the outer ALC blade I'd been using. On one hand it produces super fast drives, but I felt like the amount of spin dropped a bit. It felt like the ball was popping off the surface of the rubber a little, which felt like a waste, so I switched my forehand rubber to 05-FX as well, and after that I felt like I could hit without losing either energy or spin. Attacking shots like smashes, drives, and counters can all be executed at a very high level. Blocks, stops, and pushes tend to run a bit long, but it's within an acceptable range. This is a high-performance blade I'd recommend to players who like rally-based play.

Honestly, I was surprised at how stable both my forehand and backhand felt.
I got solid power, and my blocks and counters were stable too.
I'd recommend this to people using outer-carbon blades who keep missing long or into the net.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This might just be the best blade out there.
The ball goes in even without a full swing, the feel is on the softer side, and it generates plenty of spin.
Play over the table is stable too. Control might be a bit tricky until you get used to it, but that's not because it's inconsistent — it's just a matter of getting a feel for how it flies, so once you're used to it, it's no problem at all.This is definitely one blade I'd want intermediate to advanced players to try at least once.

For normal use, it feels about the same as a 5-ply wood blade. You really notice its performance once you use it in a match. On strong shots it fully brings out the ZLC bounce, and for the short game you get that wood-like feel, so I think it's a good blade.
That said, if you make thick contact over the table, it can fly like a special-material blade and turn into an easy ball for your opponent, so it might not suit people who get rattled easily.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I got to try this out with a friend. My first impression was that you really feel the impact vibrate through your hand when you hit the ball. I'm not a fan of that feeling myself, but I think people who like it will love it. Also, everything feels stable across the board, so I'd recommend it for all-round players.

What I noticed using this blade is that if your swing isn't fast, the ball comes out weak and floaty.
Over the table, the stop really holds its position and flicks are easy to pull off too.
When countering away from the table, you get that sharp, straight extension unique to ZLC, which I thought was really great.
Everyone should give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I put Tenergy 05 on my forehand, but since I also like to hit flat shots, it didn't suit me that well. If you're putting something on the forehand, I'd recommend Tenergy 80
On the backhand, V15 Limber suited it really well and was very easy to use. I recommend Limber for the backhand.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft
