The very first model with Super ZL-Carbon; Butterfly has succeeded in achieving not only a better reaction than existing blades, but also the expansion of the high-reaction area.
It makes power and control possible at the same time. Zhang Jike Series

Among the Zhang Jike series, this one is the fastest by far. That comes at the cost of some control though. It pairs well with Tenergy or Fastarc. It's an attacking blade, so I'd recommend it to topspin-drive or fast-attack style players.

I switched over from the Jun Mizutani (old model). Maybe because I put spin-focused rubbers on both sides, this blade bounced more than the old Jun Mizutani but wasn't actually all that fast overall.
Whether it's the short game close to the table or a big attack from far off the table, by leaning into the rubber's compatibility and the blade's inherent speed, you can take down your opponent without mercy (lol)
I'd recommend this to anyone whose weapon is a series of fast, repeated topspin drives, or anyone aiming to make that their weapon.
It's expensive, but it's a blade worth buying!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

At first I thought "so this is what it's like," but after using it for a year, then two, it started to feel like a natural fit.
That said, when the rubber wasn't right for me, I didn't feel anything special from it. Right now, with this rubber combination, it feels just right.
For some reason I can block well, and even when I can't, it doesn't bother me, so it doesn't build up any stress.
It really made me realize again how much your equipment matters.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

This is a really great blade! It pairs great with Tenergy 80 — spin comes really easily, and personally, my topspin drives feel like they really extend, and they're easy to control too. The price is high, but the performance matches it. It's really easy to use, so give it a try!

For how much speed it gives you, it's surprisingly flexible, and I was able to put good spin on the ball too.
That said, it's a bit heavy, so you'll probably need to adjust with your rubber choice.
It bounces well, so going with a thinner sponge should be fine too.This blade is very expensive, but I found it's more than worth the price.
It makes sense that pro players use it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

I'd been grumbling that I wished there was a blade with the flex of the Jun Mizutani combined with the speed of the Amultart, and then this one showed up.
Topspin drives arc more easily than on the Jun Mizutani, and the spin you can generate is scary good. The feel is also softer than the Jun Mizutani. It's like the blade holds the ball for a split second before launching it.
Toss serves with heavy backspin and short length are easy to produce too — even a former ranked player told me they couldn't chiquita it easily.
Stops and pushes were easy to control as usual, as long as I was careful with my contact point.
The biggest issue is that it flies too high (lol).
Basically I switch between a full swing and a soft touch, but whenever I tried something in between — more than a soft touch but less than a full swing — I kept overshooting a lot.
That's probably a skill issue on my end though (lol).
What I can say is that it comes down to your playing style.
I'd recommend this more to people who love the feel of special materials giving them speed and heavy spin, rather than those who add power to the ball through their own strength.
If you're someone who can already generate spin and speed with an all-wood blade, I don't think you need to force a switch to this one.

This blade is hard and a bit tough to control, but it produces good spin and speed — it felt great. I borrowed a friend's to try it out and ended up wanting to switch to this one. Definitely give it a try.
