I have bought Tiago apolonia zlc , after trying Freitas alc as well and I felt it very familiar to me from the get go. I was afraid it will have more wood feeling and vibrations then I usually prefer but surprisingly it manages to excite me. It has a crispy feeling and I feel the zlc kicking in strong spins. Excelent touch in serve recieve , nice dwell time , very easy counter looping. I paired it with tenergy 05 on drive and dignics 05 on backhand and its a very nice combination . I like the speed because it is not very fast but still when you have the position u can produce a winner. Overall very good craftmanship mine is 90 gramms of course very expensive as usual with butterfly , but for me it is definately worth its price. If you are looking for a very round blade with very good touch and feeling , nice spin production but not too fast then go for it !.

I only had a couple of sessions with it at this moment and my first impressions are : It has higher arc then tenergy 05, It grips the ball a bit better so its easier to attack half long balls for example or lift underspin. The overall feeling is similar to boosted tenergy 05 ( I enjoyed it more then 05) and it feels a notch softer than tenergy 05 but very similar hardness overall. It provides a loud noise and it is abit lighter then tenergy 05 (67 uncut comparing to 70). Although it has alot of control I wouldnt recommend it for a backhand rubber unless you are a pro because it has high arc and long catapult effect. It is rumoured to have a very good durability so maybe the price comparing to tenergy 05 is barely acceptable but still very overpriced. I can say at the moment for my game and the feeling it provides its a nice upgrade and I am using a blade with low through so it paired nicely.

Tried both Genesis II M and S on ZJK Super zlc . Overall great quality , light rubbers (44 grams cut). Found the S version Better then M on my blade. Both versions are harder then expected I would put the S version between Elp and MXp so its more like a medium rubber then a soft one. Great short game ! , very good control low spin sensitivity, low catapult , higher arc then the M version . Could play both backhand and forehand with this rubber depends on your preference. I tried the 2.2 version and my blade is very fast so I wouldn't suggest try the 2.0 versions since they are pretty slow rubbers. Spin was good enough still inferior then Tenergy 05 /05fx but overall greater control. The S version made a lot more sense for me then the M which felt very hard and rigid on my blade. So I would suggest this rubber as a forehand rubber for Fast hard blades and for players who prefer a good spin / controlled game and don't rely on finishing the point early. Or as a backhand rubber again on fast blades for players who don't want big catapult rubbers and value short game / control and spin oriented game.

Tested on ZJK super zlc, which is a hard fast blade, I haven't played with Genesis I, But here are my thoughts about the rubber. It was a lot harder then I expected maybe even harder then MXS, Great control in short game and insensitive to incoming spin since the rubber's tacky surface . Low catapult as expected, good spin but inferior to Tenergy 05 for example I found it pretty slow even at 2.2 in my racket. Good weight (lighter the MXS ) around 70 gramms uncut , great quality overall, medium angle . Did not pair well with my Blade even it was a lot better after 2 thin layers of falco boost but overall felt hard and not "lively" enough. I would suggest pairing it with more flexible blades with higher angle then mine or boosting it so it becomes softer and less rigit.

I bought this blade searching for a spinny, controllable carbon blade with nice feeling and I got exactly that. My only doubt before buying the blade was the speed but for me its ideal . Not too fast but not too slow either . Very nice woody feel with nice vibrations and when u spin with power u feel the carbon activating. Osp quality is exceptional and u feel "unique" ,great value for money. So far I have nothing negative to say about the blade very good all-around. Nice dwell, easy to block , Easy to receive short , quality 1st ball with great feedback that Limba outer provides. Pairs great with hard rubbers like 05. Not so good with softer rubbers like 05fx at least in my opinion.

Amazing quality , Great sweet spot , tremendous spin. Best thing is the dwell time that produces high amount of spins in every stroke. Of course price is insane but the quality is amazing. Only negative for me is the speed. Too much to handle in my opinion .

Very nice blade , easy to play with . Great Speed / Control ratio. Hinoki provide a good soft feeling and enough power / spin when needed. Ideal for players who like to spin, not so good for flat hitters. Not very happy about the quality, apart from the fact that it needs sanding that u wouldnt expect from a 220 euro blade, my blade's handle needs glueing after 2 months without being hit or mistreated in any way.
