This is from the 4-ply carbon series, but for serves and short-game shots it barely bounces at all, surprisingly.
Because of that, it's easy to control a dead stop or vary the length of your pushes.
Chiquitas are easy to do too, but if you don't take the ball a bit early, it tends to pop up too much.The moment you hit a topspin drive, you can really feel the carbon coming through.
For counters, meeting the ball flat felt more stable than going for more topspin.The feel on contact is hard but with some flex — a strange, unique feel.
I've tried over 30 blades, but I can't think of anything similar to this one — it's truly one of a kind.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

Here's my comparison after hitting with both the Harimoto ALC and the ZLC.
The ZLC bounces a bit more and is a bit harder than the ALC.
If you find the ALC hard to get speed out of, or too soft, the ZLC would suit you well.The ALC wins out on full-swing power and that unstoppable feel on the backhand, but for handling balls to the middle with good body movement, or for long rallies, the ZLC is better.
If you like to really grind it out using your legs, go with the ALC. If you want a bit more ease and a sense of speed, the ZLC might be the one.

Since the blade is a bit bigger, it feels quite heavy once you put rubbers on.
My sense is it feels about 5g heavier than a regular blade of the same total weight.Because it grips the ball well, it's easily affected by incoming spin.
That said, it also has a wide margin for error, and if you counter properly, it has the potential to chiquita right through even a pure backspin ball.
However, that's true in practice — in an actual match it's difficult unless you're a player who can maintain a perfect contact point and swing.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

Since the cypress ply grips the ball, I don't mind the Dignics' quick release, and I can swing through backspin balls forward without trouble.
I bought two, and the one closer to the average weight had a better feel.
It's light, so it's easy to handle for the short game, and it still flies when you swing from farther back, so the balance is good.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

Used it mounted on a Quartet VFC.
First of all, it's soft.
The feel and sound of the hit are pleasant, but the sponge compresses all the way down so it feels like you're hitting off a board, and you don't get all that much spin.
The ball definitely goes deep, but it just goes deep and that's about it.
That said, the fact that it doesn't drop even when the sponge is fully compressed shows the quality of the topsheet.I think it matches a style that wants stability for meet hits and rallies on the backhand side.
If you use it on your forehand, mounting it on a blade with fast ball release or a harder blade (like a Koki Niwa Wood or an outer-ply blade) might give it better balance and change your impression of it.
Personally I'd recommend a 7-ply blade with a harder surface.
