  • Mizutani Jun Super ZLC

    User review

    This blade is balanced at a very high level.
    Ball speed has gotten harder to generate with plastic balls, but with this blade that's simply not an issue — you can still hit fast balls.
    It's also much easier to put spin on the ball than with a stiff, all-carbon blade, and you can give the ball a nice arc too.
    That said, it's by no means an easy blade to handle.
    The rebound feels strong, and the first time I used it, it felt like a wild horse.
    But as I got used to it, the short game and loop drives became easier to do.
    It's a blade with extremely high potential, but if you're going to use it, I'd recommend buying it with some mental preparation.
    The wide sweet spot that's characteristic of the Super ZLC can be felt as bounce no matter where on the blade you make contact.
    It's a fantastic blade, but at the same time it has a strong, somewhat wild personality — if you can master it, though, I think it'll become a powerful ally.
    By the way, the ST grip is more angular, while the AN grip has a slimmer shape.

    A friend of mine uses this and let me try it out a few times, so here are my impressions.

    This blade is really well balanced. Even though it's a 7-ply, it doesn't kick the ball out too much - it holds onto it well.
    That said, I don't think of it as one of those 7-plies that feel like a 5-ply, which have been popular lately - it's more of a genuinely easy-to-use 7-ply.
    If you want more ball-holding feel than an inner composite blade gives you, this could be a good option.

    One more thing - the short game stays under control better than I expected, so it could also work well for people who feel uneasy or unsatisfied with the short game on composite blades.

    This is a 3-ply-plus-carbon blade, which is rare these days.
    It really flies, and the speed is top-notch.
    The blade is also thick, so I'd call this a racket with a pretty extreme, specialized performance, but I think it's good for anyone who's been using the discontinued Primorac Carbon or Schlager and wants a replacement.
    The blade is also a regular size, so if you're switching from a compact blade like the Gergely 21 or Gergely Alpha, you might want to keep in mind that the weight will be a bit heavier.
    I think it's a great racket for anyone who wants more speed.
    As for the grip, the straight version is on the thicker, rounder side, while the flared version is a standard thickness close to the Gergely 21, but it felt like it had a bit more heft to it.

    First off, this rubber doesn't produce much of an arc.
    But the ball isn't completely flat either.
    "Draws a low arc" describes it perfectly.
    When I actually played with it, it felt harder than the manufacturer's listed hardness.
    That might be down to the topsheet hardness affecting the trajectory.
    The short game also felt controlled, and it was easy to produce fast-feeling shots on both topspin drives and hits.
    That said, the actual spin amount is fairly modest, so I don't think this is a rubber where looping is your main weapon.
    On the other hand, it's also less affected by the opponent's spin, so I'd like players who enjoy blocking and hitting flat to give it a try.

    I got to try a friend's blade, so here are my impressions.
    First, even though it's a 7-ply, it's not hard. The Butterfly SK7 is also a 7-ply, but with a strong kick, whereas this one gives you a real sense of holding the ball.
    It holds the ball almost like a 5-ply, but you can still feel that 7-ply kick within that, so I think it's a good option for people who feel a 5-ply doesn't bounce enough or that they can't win rallies outright.
    It's a really well-balanced, excellent blade, but if you're looking for more bounce, you might find it a bit lacking.
    Also, it does fall into the pricier category, and since it's a balance-type 7-ply, I'd recommend comparing it against something like the Swat before you buy.
