This one's for advanced players.
Since the ball leaves the blade quickly, you need to really put spin on it and have a fast swing speed.
Beginners to intermediate players may not be able to bring out this racket's strengths! That said, depending on the rubber, I think even intermediate players could handle it!
The ball flies in a straight line, and I felt it didn't send much shock through my hand.
It can handle everything from close to the table to away from the table, so you'll need to keep practicing and building up your skills!
I have a lot of respect for anyone who can really use this one well, lolOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

The first time I used it, it bounced so much I kept overshooting and couldn't adjust, but after a bit of practice I started producing a completely different quality of ball than before. The speed is top-notch. And with the right rubber, you can get any amount of spin you want. I don't think it's a good idea to use very hard rubbers like V>15. If you're putting something on it, I think rubbers that absorb the ball well, like V01, Tenergy 05, or Rozena, work well. I think it's too much too soon for beginners, so I'd recommend it for intermediate players and above.

I bought this when I came back to table tennis after a 10-year break. It's an extremely bouncy, wild racket.
The short game is especially hard without solid technique. It's a racket that beginners and intermediate players will likely find difficult to handle.
That said, on topspin rallies and smashes, you can produce plenty of power even from away from the table.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

I normally use the Timo Boll ALC, and this time I found one at a cheap price so I bought it just to try it out. It's the ST version. It's quite light, and it came back into position after a swing more easily than the one I'm currently using. As for my impressions after hitting with it — even though it's a ZLC, it didn't feel all that hard. It has a bit of softness to it, though of course, being an outer ZLC, the ball leaves the blade fast. It was pretty easy to hit heavy, fast balls on drives too. That said, compared to the ALC, the arc felt a bit more flat and straight. It has good bounce, so you can really hit hard even from mid-distance. It's suited for intermediate to advanced players.

I'm still currently using Tenergy 25 on the forehand of my Jun Mizutani ZLC. I think the combination of the Jun Mizutani ZLC and Tenergy 25 is fantastic — the low bounce of the 25 meshes perfectly with the bounce of the Mizutani ZLC. Before I bought it, I was a bit worried it might bounce too much and affect how well the ball stays on the table in the short game, or how easy it would be to put spin on. But once I actually put the 25 on, meet-hitting close to the table and drives from mid-distance both worked well, and I don't back up much, but even with the 25, the ball stays on the table from away from the table too, so I think with a regular tension rubber it should stay on the table even more easily.

Sughi (Experience: More than ２０ years) A racket that bites deep even with weaker impact than ALC
-

This racket lets you get a strong impact more easily than the ALC (with the topsheet biting deep and the sponge deforming).
This part is similar to the Timo Boll ZLC series.
The difference from the Timo Boll ZLC series is that the ball leaves the blade a little slower.
I also think one advantage of this racket is that you can add a bit of spin for stability on blocks, and use the opponent's own ball to produce a strong impact with light effort.
The downside, especially since the switch to the version-3 plastic ball, is that the sponge deforms so much on impact that the ball reaches the blade before you can finish putting spin on it, and it just bounces off.
So I feel rubbers with a hard topsheet and hard sponge, or a thin topsheet with hard, thick sponge, suit it well.
If you can't hit in a way that deforms the rubber, it becomes a hard, overly bouncy racket that's difficult to control, so be careful.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Carbon is Zylon (Experience: ６〜１０ years) What is this special material?
-

Among special materials, the bounce of Zylon carbon is really addictive. It's a wild racket in a good way. I guess it's just that the performance is good, but the bounce is seriously addictive.
It has a feel unlike arylate or other special materials — a truly one-of-a-kind sensation. This one's going to be my partner for a while!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
