Question: Hello, I’m just looking for a new solid blade. May you compare Zhang Jike ALC and Zhang Jike ZLC (speed, hardness, solid feeling and direct shot)? I need a more solid feeling and feedback from the blade. I`m a looper and need to feel direct shot of the ball. I will play with medium soft rubbers. Which of these two do you think will suit best my game?

Answer: Hi Kaloyan,

I believe the Zhang Jike ZLC will suit you better if you like to topspin a lot in your game. This blade has that “solid” feel you are looking for. Thank you for your interest in butterfly equipment.

Good luck!
