This rubber can be summed up in one word: amazing.
First and foremost, the spin performance.
When you bounce the ball on it, it bounces so much that you'd think the ball leaves the rubber quickly — but that's totally wrong.
The topsheet, packed densely with thin, high-grip pimples, really digs into the ball with a solid grrrip, and produces excellent spin.
I couldn't help but grin while using it.
And the speed leaves nothing to be desired either! If I had to compare this rubber to something, it's like taking the speed of Tenergy 64 and adding the spin of Spinart (Tenergy 05 alone isn't quite enough) — it's honestly the ultimate rubber.
It also lasts a really long time. Practicing 3 hours a day, my Tenergy sheets used to need replacing after a month, but this one lasts 3 months.
This is... amazing.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

A friend of mine really pushed me to try it, so I bought one - and now I get why.
The feel is on the harder side, but it still has plenty of flex, and you can put really good spin on the ball.
It's got plenty of speed too, so you'd almost doubt it's really a 5-ply blade.
I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who loves wood blades but also wants more speed.
I think I'm going to keep using this one going forward.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Hard

I happened to see this online and grabbed it right away.
It's a 5-ply blade but the bounce feels more like a 7-ply.
It makes a nice crisp "clack" sound that feels great to play with.
The wood is also thin, so it has good flex and lets you put real spin on the ball.
It works well with both tension and tacky rubbers.
You don't see it around much anymore, but if you find one, definitely give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I got so curious about this blade
that I had someone import it for me.
Honestly,
my reaction was more like "hmm??"
The forehand and backhand aren't completely separate,
so while the forehand does feel softer, it's not purely as hard as a typical ALC — it's a bit harder than that.
That said, the backhand isn't quite as hard as a typical ZLC either, it's a bit softer.
If ALC's bounce is a 7
and ZLC's is a 10,
then it feels like forehand is 8 and backhand is 9 —
like each side is borrowing a bit of the other's special material.Personally,
I prefer a forehand that doesn't fly too much
and a backhand that flies well,so I felt the forehand flew a bit too much for my taste,
though that might partly be because I'm used to ALC.For better or worse, the two sides interfere with each other.
So this isn't really a blade for someone who ends up thinking "I like ALC on the forehand but I want the ZLC feel on the backhand!!"I think that's probably because the overall construction of this blade lets the two sides influence each other quite a bit.
Still, I could get plenty of spin for an outer blade,
and it has speed too,
so performance-wise it's a good blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

The S version was similar to Hui Long, so I figured this one would be similar to Xiang Long, but it turned out to be completely different.
First, it didn't lose the stability that the S had, which made me really happy.
Also, since it uses a Japanese-made sponge, the ball sinks into it nicely.
With Xiang Long you get a better ball by grazing the shot, but with this one it's more like a soft version of Spinart - you get a good ball by sinking it in and hitting through it.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
