37131 (Lin Yun Ju Super ZLC)
Lemuria 37131 (Lin Yun Ju Super ZLC) is a high-performance offensive blade built for players who demand both explosive speed and nuanced control. Its 5+2 ply construction with Super ZL Carbon provides a powerful, stable platform that excels in close-to-table exchanges, enabling aggressive counters, powerful forehand attacks, and precise backhand flicks. The blade offers a surprisingly crisp yet manageable feel, balancing raw power with the dwell time needed for spin generation. It's an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking a dynamic, spin-oriented weapon that supports an aggressive, placement-focused game.
The 7-ply, 5-wood + 2-carbon construction is designed for a balanced performance profile. Outer Koto plies provide a crisp hitting sensation and direct feedback. The two layers of Super ZLC fiber enhance stiffness, enlarge the sweet spot, and contribute significant power. The inner plies of Limba and Kiri wood add to the blade's overall feel, control, and help moderate the vibration, aiming for a playable yet powerful offensive tool.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Lemuria 37131 delivers exceptional speed, a hallmark of Super ZLC technology. It provides high power for offensive shots, allowing for blistering drives and powerful attacks from close range. Players report it offers excellent pace for counters and quick exchanges. While incredibly fast, some note its power feels slightly less penetrating at mid-to-far distances compared to the absolute fastest blades, but it compensates with superb close-to-table velocity that dominates the short game.
Despite its high speed, this blade offers a remarkable level of control, particularly for close-to-table maneuvers. The hybrid construction provides good stability and a crisp feel, allowing for precise placement on blocks, flicks, and serves. Many players find it strikes an excellent balance between power and manageability, making its offensive potential accessible to intermediate and advanced players who can harness its energy for controlled aggression.
Lemuria 37131 provides a crisp, direct, and medium-hard feel upon contact. It offers a solid, responsive feedback that is beneficial for precise shot execution. While it is a Super ZLC blade, players often describe its feel as slightly softer and more communicative than some other models in the category, which contributes to its enhanced controllability and ball manipulation.
It produces a medium-low throw angle, ideal for creating aggressive, penetrating attacks. Shots tend to stay low over the net, which is excellent for fast loop drives and flat hits that pressure opponents.
The blade provides a moderate dwell time, striking a balance suitable for its offensive nature. This allows for sufficient ball grip on the rubber to generate effective spin on loops and serves, while maintaining the direct, quick response needed for fast counter-attacks and blocks.
This is a stiff blade, which is typical for constructions utilizing Super ZLC. The stiffness ensures direct power transfer and contributes to its high speed, but it requires a confident, active stroke technique. Players accustomed to more flexible, dwell-oriented blades may need an adjustment period.
Vibration feedback is moderate to high, providing a lively and informative connection with the ball. The Super ZLC construction contributes to this active feel, giving clear sensory feedback during strokes without being excessively harsh or numb.
This blade is noted for its excellent manufacturing quality. The finish is smooth, with comfortable handle shaping and well-crafted wings. The build quality contributes to a consistent, reliable performance and good durability. Players appreciate the premium feel and attention to detail in its construction.
