  • Mizutani Jun Super ZLC

    User review

    I'm currently using the normal Jun Mizutani ZLC, but I wanted to keep the same feel while boosting the power, so I bought the Super ZLC.

    ■ Feel: The normal ZLC is an outer blade with a moderate amount of "flex," which makes it easy to put spin on the ball, but the Super ZLC felt quite stiff, probably because the special fiber weave is doubled. The ball also comes off faster on contact, and I felt less sense of grabbing the ball for spin. On the plus side though, the bounce felt the same no matter where on the blade I hit, so basically the whole blade was a "sweet spot."

    ■ Rubber compatibility: I use the 05, but brand new and freshly glued, the Super ZLC felt way too stiff and honestly unusable. Once I switched to the 80, it suddenly became surprisingly easy to hit, so I feel like the FX series, 64, or Rozena would be even easier to use on this blade.

    ■ Summary

    - The blade itself releases the ball very quickly, so it suits players without much power
    - It's stiff and bouncy, so it's especially good for short pips users
    - Pairing it with an FX-type rubber brings out the blade's own performance more easily
    - It seems unsuited to hard hitters (the feel just doesn't come through at all)

    I think this is a rubber with quite distinctive characteristics.

    This rubber falls into the high-elasticity category rather than the high-tension category,
    so if you swing normally, it barely flies upward at all. But if you brush the ball,
    the sheet grips it more than you'd expect.
    And because the response (how quickly it rebounds after contact) is very fast,
    meet-hits and smashes are easy to pull off. But since the sheet grips as I mentioned,
    fast, low pushes are also possible.

    Of course, there are downsides too. It doesn't travel far at all, and
    since the rubber itself has weak bounce, it's hard to generate power.

    To sum up:

    ■ Pros
    - Meet-hits and smashes are very easy
    - Grips the ball better than it looks, so fast, low pushes are possible
    - Since the rubber itself doesn't bounce much, it's easy to stop with the same motion
    - Grips the ball well, but the rubber itself isn't very sensitive to incoming spin, so you can just block and receive easily

    ■ Cons
    - Doesn't travel far
    - Lacks power
    - Weak against long serves (especially backspin ones)
    - If you hit it too thick, the ball drops short

    It's not well suited to players who attack with both wings, but for players who play it safe on the backhand and finish with the forehand,
    I'd recommend giving it a try once!

  • DNA PRO H

    User review

    There was a DNA test event and I got to try it. The 50 hardness rating gave me a hard impression, but when I actually hit with it, maybe because the topsheet is soft, it felt much softer than expected and was really easy to hit with. For a German-made rubber, it didn't feel heavy either, and partway through hitting I kept thinking it reminded me of a rubber I'd used before — turned out the feel of the shot was just like Fastarc G1. The sponge design is probably very similar, and since the DNA topsheet has better grip and lets the ball sink in more, I think it gives good distance even from away from the table. For Fastarc G1 fans who want an even higher arc and more distance, I think the switch would feel natural. It's also slightly cheaper than Fastarc G1, so if you want more power, definitely give it a try ♪

  • DIGNICS 05

    User review

    [Please note this review comes from someone without much skill.] 2019, the year "Dignics 05" was released as a new landmark in the table tennis world. I kept using Tenergy 05 without any real inconvenience, so I was torn about switching over without good reason, but I finally made my debut with it last month (June). Honestly, compared to Tenergy, I think the power has increased and the quality of every single shot has gone up. BUT!! There's a tendency for it to bounce too much on serves and light connecting shots (like a short push into a loop). For topspin rallies, hard pushes, and counters, I get the sense that the rubber sinks in and corrects for you, but I think it takes some getting used to for keeping the ball on the table properly and for the technique of connecting shots with spin. I think this bouncy sensation is exactly the new feeling that Dignics 05 brings, so please do give it a try ♪
