Zhang Jike Super ZLC

Zhang Jike Super ZLC is a true OFF+ blade, delivering explosive pace for aggressive play. The Super ZLC fibers beneath hard Koto outer plies create a direct, catapult-like effect, producing powerful drives and loops with a flat trajectory. It excels in generating instant speed from both wings, making it a formidable weapon for players who like to dictate rallies with sheer power from close to mid-distance.

Despite its high speed, this blade offers excellent control thanks to its expansive sweet spot and the stabilizing properties of Super ZLC. Players report precise ball placement and the ability to execute a wide range of strokes, from delicate short-game touches to stable blocks. The blade provides good adjustability, allowing you to vary speed and spin effectively while maintaining accuracy.

Zhang Jike Super ZLC delivers a medium-hard, crisp feel upon contact. The Super ZLC layers and hard outer Koto create a firm, direct sensation that some players describe as slightly muted compared to pure wood blades. This feel supports powerful, penetrating shots while providing enough feedback for precise stroke execution.

Zhang Jike Super ZLC produces a medium-low throw angle, favoring direct, penetrating shots over high-arching loops. This characteristic helps keep the ball low and fast on the opponent's side, complementing an aggressive, forward-driving playing style that aims to pressure opponents quickly.

For a composite blade, it offers good dwell time, allowing sufficient ball contact to generate heavy spin on loops and drives. While not as pronounced as some all-wood blades, the dwell is ample for modern aggressive play, helping players impart significant spin on their attacks.

This is a stiff blade, designed for direct power and minimal flex. The rigidity contributes to its explosive speed and crisp impact, allowing for powerful shots with a linear trajectory. Players need to rely on their own technique to generate power and spin, as the blade itself provides little catapult effect from flex.

The blade transmits a moderate level of vibration to the hand. The composite construction focuses on efficient energy transfer rather than raw tactile feedback, resulting in a sensation that some describe as clean and direct, while others may perceive it as slightly dampened compared to wood-dominant blades.

Butterfly's renowned craftsmanship is on full display with the Zhang Jike Super ZLC. The blade features premium-grade materials, flawless construction, and a refined finish that ensures durability and consistent performance. Every detail reflects the high manufacturing standards expected from a top-tier professional blade, justifying its premium status.
