A model with ZL-Carbon; powerful attack as well as the soft feeling are major features, high reaction force and flexibility is possible. The balanced play between attack and defense is a particular characteristic.

Michie (Experience: ４〜５ years) A power blade for attacking with Hurricane
-
2016/05/25
I put Hurricane NEO3 on the forehand side and used it.
Being ZLC, it really flies like crazy! It flies more than the ALC, but the feel on contact was softer than I expected.As for pairing it with Hurricane, it flies so much that you can't really make the most of the tacky rubber's performance, lol.
If you're confident in your swing speed, you can hit heavy, spin-loaded drives with it, but you need to keep your swing speed fast at all times, so it's a tough ask.I think the ALC is the one that appeals to everyone, but the combination of ZLC and Hurricane is a strong weapon for advanced players, so if you're confident in your skills, why not give it a try.

Compared to other blades, this one really bounces. I used to use Nittaku's Factive Carbon FL with Tenergy 64 rubber, and this is completely different, so it took me three weeks to get used to it. Once I got used to it, there wasn't much of a strange feeling left, and now my control and spin have both reached a top level. My serves often catch the net, but once you master it, it's easy. That said, the blade is expensive, so I think it's better to think it through carefully before buying.

Table tennis is fun! (Experience: ４〜５ years) Compared to inner ALC
-
2020/04/29
I was a little worried since I was switching from an inner ALC to an outer ZLC, but it turned out better than I expected! From here on I'll compare it to an inner ALC.
Grip: The blade is thin, so the grip is slim - fine even for people with smaller hands
Serve: Control is a little bit harder
Short game: <Stop> gets a bit longer, but it's manageable once you get used to it
<Flick> is easy to do, and easy to get speed on
<Chiquita> comes out lower, making net mistakes more likely
Topspin drive: It carries further than before, making it harder for opponents to handle. The ball sits on the blade better than I expected. Drives against backspin got easier. That said, since it's faster now, recovering after consecutive drives or drives against backspin is tough (though enough practice can fix that)If you're thinking about switching from an inner blade and worried about how well the ball will sit, it's not quite at inner-blade level, but it holds the ball better than expected, so I'd recommend just going for it and trying it once!

First of all, it just bounces a ton. So for serves, if you cut thin to prioritize spin, it feels just right. And you can put insane amounts of spin on it.
On the forehand, you can hit shots with unbelievable power. That said, it flies so much that it probably takes a while to get used to at first.
On the backhand - I'm personally good on the backhand side - so I really liked it.
The short game is flawless too.
Topspin rallies also produce powerful, stable shots.
Highly recommended for players who attack aggressively close to the table ☺️Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

In a word, everything about it is easy to do!!
What I think is best is the control, and how stable both loops and flat drives are!!
I used to use the Viscaria but it didn't fly enough, so I switched to this blade. This is just my personal opinion, but I like this one better than the Viscaria. Loops go in deep too, so I think it's a really great blade!!
I'm sure I'll keep using this blade
You'll understand once you try it, so please give it a shotOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Mana boot (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Hard feel, a racket that really flies

I used to use the Carbonade 45.
Compared to the Carbonade 45, this one flies way more.
Good points
Since it flies so much, lob shots go right through
You can hit fast balls without putting in much power
An advanced player can hit razor-sharp topspin drives with it
The short game is more usable than you'd expect
The blade design has a premium feelDifficult points
If your impact is weak, the ball just drops
The feel is hard, so control is difficult
You need quite a bit of skill
Hard to get the ball to sink into the sponge
I felt the backhand was harder to land - since it's hard, there isn't much sense of gripping the ballOverall, this is an advanced, attacking blade. I wanted to use it, but it was a bit difficult. I think it pairs well with Tenergy.

I got this from a friend.
First off, the design looks cool.
My impression after using it - partly thanks to the rubber - is that it flies well so you get a lot of power.
When you put spin on it, the ball lands solidly on the opponent's side.
I think it's a flawless blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
