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

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.

I switched from a Jun Mizutani (ZL Carbon).
Just from a few forehand hits, I could tell it's springier than the ZL Carbon version.
Even though it's fast, the ball doesn't just fly straight off — topspin drives land in the opponent's court consistently.They say the sweet spot is wide, but personally I don't feel a huge difference. Maybe that's something you'd notice more once you're at a top-player level.
Basically, my take is "Super ZLC is just the ZLC but faster."
It feels like a blade built for Tenergy, so I think Tenergy is the best choice if you want to get the most out of it.

It flies like crazy.
I can't say for sure whether the sweet spot is wider, but I do feel more stability on my topspin drives.
Perfect for rally-style play.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

It's expensive, but it's a genuinely good blade for the price.
Even though it's fast, shots off the edge of the blade still go in a lot of the time.
I feel like everyone's going to end up using this one.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch
