The feel is really nice for me personally, and it gives you decent speed too. But that also makes it a bit harder to control. So if you normally use max thickness, you might want to go with thick instead. As for rubbers, if you want to keep a good balance while steadily racking up points, I'd recommend Rozena, Tenergy 80, Tenergy 80 FX, or Dignics 80. If you want to score with quick attacks close to the table, I think Tenergy 05, 64, 25, or Dignics 05/64 would be good. But in the end it all depends on your own skill level and playing style, so take this just as a reference lol
I'd be happy if this comment helps.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

A racket with ZLC on the outer layers.
Compared to an outer ALC, the trajectory is flatter and it has a stronger sense of the ball being flicked off. The raw bounce of the blade is a bit more than the ALC, but I don't think it's a difference worth making a big deal of. I think opinions on this racket will vary more based on how each person perceives the launch angle.
People who normally use the ALC will probably tend to overshoot the net with this one.
Conversely, people who feel like they can't keep the ALC under control will probably find this one easier to use. That's especially noticeable on drives and flicks in the short game.
On big rallies you can hit with a low, sharp trajectory, and the feel has a solid, snappy pop that gives a real sense of confidence.
On the other hand, it's harder to hit balls with a dropped contact point near the table. Flat, spinless shots tend to carry long.Personally, I'd recommend this to people who feel the wood blade lacks power but the outer ALC flies too much. Since the arc is drawn low with the landing point coming in closer, I think it feels easier to keep the ball in.

I tried this after using the Jun Mizutani Super ZLC. It has more stability than the Super ZLC! Though, after using the Super ZLC, it does look slower in comparison, lol lol lol.
I had Tenergy 80 on both sides. It really does let you hit stable drives, meet-hits, and topspin rallies. The short game is also easy to do with it. Once Dignics 05 came out, I put it on the forehand side. It's great! I thought putting Dignics 05 on the backhand side too might be a good idea as well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It flies a ton! Of all the rackets I've used, this one gave me the impression of flying the most, but once you get used to it, you can play really well with it! Personally, Evolution MX-P suits it well for me — the serves especially get insane spin. But short-game play is tough until you get used to it. Still, overall it's a pretty great racket,
If you get the chance, why not give it a try?Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Including the rubber setup, this combo is pretty ambitious (lol), but I figured I could handle it given my skill level, so I bought it! Here's my breakdown by category.
Speed
It's fast, but you do get a sense that you can control it yourself, so I think it becomes manageable once you get used to it.
Spin
At first it felt a bit lacking compared to my previous racket, but with repeated practice, the amount of spin gradually increases.
Short game
Every technique works reasonably well. The one I liked best was chiquita-type shots. The flick off the ball is good, so it's easy to generate speed and score points with it.
Serve
Compared to other rackets, I think serves tend to run a bit long, so you'll have to make up for that with your own skill (ง ˙-˙ )ง
Other
Maybe because it doesn't send much shock through your hand, I get pushed back less by my opponent's drives. In a high-level matchup, this racket doesn't lose out in ball power.I think what you need to handle this racket is the ability to not send the ball flying. If you want to buy this racket, you'll definitely have to put in the effort. My table tennis experience is still pretty shallow too, but I want to keep working hard with my new partner. Sorry for the long post.

I hadn't used it for a year, but when I finally hit with it again, it was great, lol
Back then I thought it flew too much to be usable and put it away, but now it's great! This might be a racket you arrive at after going through stages like all-wood and inner carbon rackets first.
I finally understand what's so good and amazing about ZLC.
It's hard to jump straight to this one. But if you work your way up through the stages and try it, you'll definitely feel how good it is.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It's a good racket, but it's strictly for advanced players. If you can't play beyond a basic level of table tennis, you won't be able to use it, and you won't understand what makes it good either. If you can master this racket, you can produce really excellent shots with it. It's a model made purely for top-level players, and using it just out of casual interest or with only a little experience would honestly be disrespectful to the racket. That's how high the quality and performance are. Personally, I think it's the finest of all the outer carbon rackets.
