Hey guys!
Since February 2015, I've been using this flared blade with BTY Tenergy 05 on the FH, and Yasaka Rakza X on the BH.
Once you see the packaging it comes in, it is very clear why it costs £280. There is a nice look to the blade, with the colour coordiantion making it very attractive & once holding the blade, it has a very comfortable feel (even if you adjust your grip for certain shots).
Once rallying, you'll notice it has a very nice feel to it straight away and reminds me of the feel of the BTY Innerforce ZLC (somewhat stiffer but a fair bit faster).
FH(Rocket)- Even from my first hits I could really feel the ball sink in to the blade and making most of it's wide sweet spot. It took me a few practise sessions to get back into my complete rhythm of play but once I did, balls flew past sparring partners and the blade had more than enough power to hit past opponents.
BH(Need to be very consistent)- In my first few matches of using this blade, I found it very difficult to get more than one/two shots on per point. They'd always go too long or go into the net. However after some getting used to, it felt much easier to drive/punch past opponents and force them off the table. Backhand flicks were excelled- whether you wanted to put them down the line or produce heavy spin back, it was very easy.
Short game(Need very good touch) Due to the JM Super ZLC being so fast, touch play would not be easy to control at all. Balls were always going off the table due to the speed but it was heavy spin being produced. When wanting to do a dropshot, sometimes the ball would be picture perfect, sometimes the ball would just bounce off the blade and off the end of the table. Fortunately, this got much better after time and you feel well in control.
Finally, I'd recommend this blade to any offensive player for both BH/FH who is consistent. Even if you miss the sweetspot you still have a good chance of getting the ball back on. The dwell time enables the ball to literally 'sink' into the blade and produce tons of spin.
