    • Soft hitting feel resembling wooden rackets provides comfort

    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveCombines rotation and stability beautifully with a pleasant holding sensation. The soft touch on the ball makes control intuitive. Depending on rubber pairing, this high-performance racket suits various playing styles.
    ▽ CriticalLimited distance and power output make it less suitable for back-court rallies. Players accustomed to harder rackets may need time to adapt to the thin blade.

      Ayumuyo (Experience: 2〜3 years) Light racket, easy to swing even with tacky rubber!

      Player reviews

      Even with tacky rubber, it moves and swings really easily! My topspin drives dig right into the opponent's court, and my serves have decent spin too. The first thing you notice when you hit with it is how easy it is to play with! My speed drives are on a completely different level from before! Speed and control are both great! I really want people to try this blade with tacky rubber!

      It's a bit pricey, but the performance more than makes up for it
      The blade is soft with a kind of wrapping feel, so it's very easy to get spin on the ball and control is excellent
      Personally, I found loop drives especially easy to pull off with this one
      The blade is thin and light, so even with a heavy rubber on it, it's easy to swing through. Speed is a bit lacking though, so keep that in mind

      Special material (Experience: 2〜3 years) Is this a god?

      Player reviews

      I really wanted this one, so I saved up and bought it.
      When you hit the ball, it has a soft, hollow feel with a bit of that special-material sensation to it.
      I was blown away the moment I hit with it. Seriously amazing
      Easy to control, surprisingly fast, and the bounce is just right
      You definitely won't regret buying this lol

      Tetsuya Hashimoto Good overall but thin

      Player reviews

      It's easy to control and easy to get spin on the ball, so I thought it was an excellent blade. That said, it's a lot thinner than what I was using before, so it felt a bit strange at first.

      Alexandra (Experience: 6〜10 years) Almost feels like pure wood

      Player reviews

      In a word, the feel is almost like pure wood.
      It's super easy to put a ton of spin on topspin drives.

      That said, it's too thin, which made smashing hard to do.
      I personally prefer a blade around 6.0mm.

      Up Down Service (Experience: 6〜10 years) Grips then boom

      Player reviews

      No matter what rubber you glue onto this blade, it grips the ball. Even with something like the 64, you can loop solidly. Of course, serves bite hard too, and as long as you don't move too far from the table, it's an unbeatable blade. Rallies from away from the table are a bit weaker, but shots still go in solidly. It also works fine as an all-around blade, and honestly, if you glue on chopping rubber, you can even chop with it. It can do anything.

      S S (Experience: More than 20 years) A blade that wins

      Player reviews

      My mistakes have gone down.
      Right now I'm switching back and forth between the Zhang Jike Super ZLC and this blade. The Zhang Jike costs about 3 times as much, so part of me wants to use it, but it flies too far and I make a lot of mistakes.
      This ZLF's selling points are spin and close-to-the-table play. The sense of security you get from hitting solidly close to the table is fantastic. It also bites the ball well, so plenty of speed comes out too.
      This is the first time I've found a blade this easy to use.
