      came Just "amazing!"

      Player reviews

      The moment the ball hits the blade,
      you can really feel the spin grabbing on in your hand!

      It flexes quite a bit, so I think you need a harder rubber to balance it out.

      I normally use rubbers like V15 Extra that are fast and fly in a straight line.
      My style focuses more on speed and power than spin,
      but I feel like the blade is helping out on the spin side of things.

      A lot of people say it's suited for close-to-the-table play,
      but depending on the combination,
      it's a high-performance blade that can match a wide range of players.

      Torumini (Experience: 11〜20 years) Got myself a ZLF

      Player reviews

      The spin is insane and the serves have crazy bite. I use Vega Tour on my forehand and Dignics 05 on my backhand. A super stable, spin-oriented setup.

      Crab (Experience: 4〜5 years) Feels like it doesn't fly all that far

      Player reviews

      I switched to this blade from an outer-carbon type.
      Being an inner-carbon blade, it really doesn't fly all that much, as expected. If you're going to put a rubber on it, I think a harder one would work well.

      Player reviews

      Tons of spin, and the blade is light and soft
      I'm currently using a heavy, hard rubber with it
      and it's a great match. I think a harder rubber suits it better.

      hi-lite (Experience: 11〜20 years) This is really nice

      Player reviews

      I'm using the AN handle.
      For light shots, the feel is soft and hollow, resonating nicely in the hand.
      There's no sense of the ball flying off on its own, which feels really good.
      For spin-heavy techniques like serves, chiquita, and loop drives, it's top-notch, and the ball landed on the table cleanly every time.
      Drives grip the ball firmly and dig in sharply with a high arc - the ball itself isn't crazy fast, but it's quite stable.
      The backhand also grips the ball well, so stability improved a lot.
      I'd really recommend this to anyone who plays close to mid-distance and likes rally-oriented tennis.
      The only downside is probably the price.

      GRB Ganymede γ (Experience: 6〜10 years) Good precisely because it doesn't fly too much!

      Player reviews

      The blade isn't that hard, so a harder rubber seems like a good fit.
      First of all, the ball comes off at a high arc. When you really let the ball sink in, the spin is insane - even with a soft tension rubber, your drives get enough spin to blow past the opponent's block (lol)
      That said, I did wonder whether it's not so well suited to the grazing-type strokes that hard, tacky-rubber users tend to use, since the blade itself is soft. That might vary from person to person though.
      The feel, which resonates nicely in your hand, is also great. Precisely because the bounce isn't that big, it has a lot going for it - easy fine technique, easy spin generation, and the way the ball sinks in even without a particularly strong impact.
      I thought it was a wonderful blade.

      Pinkyu (Experience: 2〜3 years) Ultra strongest lol

      Player reviews

      Absolutely the best!! This is a truly amazing blade. First off, it generates so much spin that at first I could barely handle it. Next is the speed - along with a great feel, the sensation of blasting the ball is the best. In particular, since it puts a lot of spin on serves, it's well suited to attacking right off the serve (in my opinion). Highly recommended. Give it a try.
