Zhang Jike Super ZLC or Fan Zhendong Super ZLC?

Posted on

(by: Bowmar Sports Team)

Question:

Hello, I want to try a new blade. I am choosing between either Zhang Jike Super ZLC and Fan Zhendong Super ZLC. I am an advanced player who prefers to loop with spin using backhand. Also, I am considering trying out the Dignics line, either the normal rubbers or 09c. What can I expect from Dignics Rubbers?

Answer:

Hi John,

The Zhang Jike Super ZLC blade is a little bit faster and harder than Fan Zhendong Super ZLC. The Fan Zhendong has similar feeling as Viscaria.

If you like looping, I really recommend trying Dignics 09C because this rubber will improve the friction of the ball and add more spin to your loops.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best wishes!

Coach Cherry
