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

It had been a while since I used an outer-ply blade, so I wondered how it would be and tried the Super ZLC. My first impression, since it was also my first time using a Super ZLC blade, was surprise at how fast it flies. The ball leaves the blade quickly without picking up much spin and just flies off, so the speed alone goes up, which is giving me some trouble right now. I felt that to use this blade you need to speed up your swing.
Before this I'd been using an older version of the Innerforce ZLC. I think if your arm strength is solid, you can make this work.

No, seriously, the feel when you hit it, haha
It's the best.
Blocking felt a little hard to do, but other than that, every technique is easy! Control wasn't that great though.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

The ball comes off feeling really nice.
But from the opponent's side, how should I put it... it's almost too perfect, so it's easy for them to return(?). That's the kind of feeling it gives. It seems to be designed to match Chinese rubber, so if you're using tension rubber I'd recommend the ALC or ZLC instead.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

A teammate let me try a ZLC-type blade and I was blown away, so I took the plunge and bought it.
Before that I'd been practicing with an ALC-type blade, tacky tension rubber on the forehand and a softer tension rubber on the backhand, but the grip never felt right, and probably because my form was also bad, I ended up with constant elbow pain. I chose this one hoping for something that would be easier on my elbow while still making the ball fly.
I actually practiced about 12 hours total over a week, and the grip feels shockingly right. The blade itself is hard and the ball really flies off it, so I figured I'd have to consciously keep my swing small or I'd overshoot... but strangely enough the ball kept landing on the table. I've also been able to swing more easily in topspin rallies.
The short game over the table is no problem either.
I didn't really feel any particularly sharp characteristic, but I actually think that's what makes it good.
Money's tight so I'm practicing with whatever rubber I have for now, but I'm hoping to save up and play a match with Tenergy on both sides eventually.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

I heard it flies too much and wondered whether I should get it, but once I tried it, it turned out to be a blade I was happy with. I need to practice so I can really use it well.

Feel: For a carbon blade, I'd say it's on the soft side. I've also used the Innerforce ALC and ZLF, and this feels far softer than either of those. It felt about the same as the Innerforce ZLC.
Speed: It's said to be a super-fast blade, but it doesn't fly quite that much. With a light hit it doesn't rebound all that much. But when you swing hard, the speed is amazing.
Arc: When you hit the ball, it goes up and naturally draws an arc. This is my favorite thing about it. I think the carbon is woven in a way that produces that kind of arc. Maybe it's just my impression, but it seems to arc far more than a wooden blade would. At the very least, the trajectory isn't flat.
Spin: It does arc, but the spin is somewhat weaker compared to wood.
Control: It's not as good as a non-flying 5-ply wood blade, but as a carbon blade I think it's at a fine level.
Overall: The price is high, but it's worth what you pay. At the very least, it was far easier to use than the Innerforce ALC, ZLF, or the Timo Boll ALC.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This is a fantastic blade for speed and spin. Blocking is easy — just make contact and the blade does the work for you.
The topspin drive also has great spin and speed, and the difference from other blades is obvious when playing against choppers. The drive is fast and seems to have extra reach, so it lands in.
What I find difficult is spin-based technique close to the table. If you hit a loop or a drive against a short backspin ball half-heartedly, you'll overshoot. It really flies, so this is something you need to practice.
The feel on contact is great and I rate it highly. It's my main blade right now. For the forehand, Tenergy 05 is definitely the safe choice. I recently found that Rasanter goes pretty well on the backhand — you get counters that really punch through.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
