PP AGON-X SUPER ZLC FL
PP AGON-X SUPER ZLC FL is a high-performance offensive blade crafted for players seeking a powerful blend of speed, spin, and control. Made in Taiwan, its 7-ply hybrid construction integrates Super ZLC carbon fiber, known for creating a dense, expansive sweet spot that enhances accuracy. The thinner blade profile amplifies spin generation, allowing for aggressive topspin shots with heavy rotation. With a balanced feel and comfortable flare handle, it offers excellent maneuverability for both close-to-the-table play and powerful attacks, making it a compelling choice for intermediate to advanced players looking to elevate their offensive game.
The construction follows a symmetrical 7-ply sequence: outer KOTO wood, Super ZLC fiber, Ayous wood, a central Kiri wood core, then Ayous wood, Super ZLC fiber, and inner KOTO wood. This hybrid design aims to maximize speed and spin while maintaining stability and control, with the Super ZLC layers being key to the expanded sweet spot.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
This blade earns a high-speed rating, capable of producing lightning-fast shots ideal for aggressive attacking play. The speed stems from the responsive Super ZLC carbon fiber integrated into its construction, allowing players to generate significant pace on drives and loops with minimal effort.
Despite its impressive speed, the AGON-X SUPER ZLC FL maintains commendable control. The expanded sweet spot from the Super ZLC fibers allows for accurate shot placement, even during fast exchanges. Players report having complete command over the game, making it suitable for tactics that require both power and precision.
The blade offers a medium-soft feel that provides good ball feedback. The wood layers and thinner profile contribute to a sense of holding the ball slightly, creating a comfortable and connected sensation during various strokes without feeling overly stiff.
It produces a medium-low throw angle, resulting in a flatter ball trajectory after contact. This characteristic is advantageous for keeping attacks low over the net and executing powerful, direct shots that are harder for opponents to counter.
Our analysis suggests a medium dwell time. The combination of Super ZLC and wood plies provides sufficient contact time to impart heavy spin on the ball, which is ideal for modern looping attacks, without sacrificing the blade's inherent speed.
The blade exhibits medium flexibility. It has enough give to aid in power generation and spin on loops, while retaining sufficient stiffness for direct, powerful drives and smashes, creating a versatile offensive profile.
Vibration is present but manageable, offering useful feedback on shot quality. The Super ZLC layers contribute to a noticeable feel upon impact that is generally not described as harsh, helping players gauge their strokes effectively.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail in Taiwan, this blade showcases excellent build quality. It utilizes premium materials and expert craftsmanship, resulting in a durable, high-performance racket with consistent feel and response that justifies its premium positioning.
Technology
The core technology is the integration of 'Super ZLC' carbon fiber, a material with a dense weave that dramatically expands the sweet spot for enhanced control and accuracy. This advanced carbon is layered within a 7-ply wood construction of KOTO, Ayous, and Kiri. The synergy between these materials optimizes for both speed and spin. Furthermore, a thinner blade profile compared to other models in the series increases spinning capability and overall maneuverability, making it a top-tier tool for aggressive, spin-heavy tactics.
