Hi everyone, I've recently swapped rubbers (and blade as well!) and I thought
to leave here at table tennis daily some feedback and comments about the
importance of finding the right match of blade and rubbers to fit your own game style.

Previously I had been playing with Butterfly Innerforce ALC with Tenergy 80 and 05
on forehand and backend. I played with this combination for about 2 years. Since then,
my game has improved somewhat and has also developed into a semi offensive style,
where I make points by a combination of strategies that depend heavily on positional
blocking an counter attacking. As I lack strengh and speed in my most offensive shots
(and I'm still developing/correcting my loop technic, specially on my backend) I try to
add variety in shots in my game. Even though I do like ternegy 05, I had grow to find
it a bit unforgiving and not too tolerant to mistakes. It's was a great rubber when I spinned
with my backend with a perfect technic, but most times, I was not able to do this and adjust,
resulting in an inconsistent game. I've always enjoyed my forehand, ternergy 80. So, at
a recommendation of a friend, I decided two change both rubbers to ternegy 80-fx.
The impact on my game was very visible. If I had to highlight what it has brought into my
game I would say three things: 1) time on the ball, 2) and overall sense of control,
3) and tolerance to my own mistakes when hitting balls. I've now have played with
these rubbers on Jun Mizutani SZLC blade, and I'm very happy. Not only my game has
grown in confidence, but it has also allowed me to keep improving my backend. The ternergy
80-fx feels a lot softer than the 05, and it is really suited my style. Overall, it gives a player
a sense that the ball spends a lot more time on the impact with the rubber, and is clearly
an excellent all rounder. I would particular recommend it to players that are keen on
developing their game through control, other through speed. Since changing to the new
rubbers and blade, my game has improved 10-15% and I'm sure it will continue on that
direction. The most important thing I learned is that is critical for a player to always think
about where their game stands, and think about what rubbers and blades are out there that
can best fit your style, and move it forward. Coaching and practising are very important
but always remember to keep your rubbers updated (and change them frequently) so that
you make the most of it!

Hi Guys, I've recently bought this blade and thought of sharing a quick review
detailing my impressions about it. I'm had 2 practice sessions and 1 league game
with it and so far I'm pretty impressed. Before getting into details it might be worth
noting a couple of things. I'm a table tennis enthusiast regularly playing in the Bristol
UK (county) league. My level of play is bottom of premier league I enjoy playing
a somewhat offensive game, but I do rely a lot on a good blocking and positioning game.
Previously I was using Butterfly Innerforce ALC. I use tenergy 80 and 05 on my
forehand and backend respectively. The reason why I decided to change blade was
because my game has improved over the last couple of months and I was feeling the ALC
was a bit too soft and lacked pace. I had tried harder blades and liked them, so decided
it was time for a change. I bought the JMSZLC after watching TTdaily Dan's review.
I figured this blade would fit my game style better due to not being as hard as the ZJ,
and providing a rounder loop arc.

The blade impressed me immediately. The very first thing I noticed was the consistency
and the wide sweet spot. I really is very noticible that every shot is played consistently --
with my old ALC blade, the moment the ball hit the outer edges, I felt less confident
and the shots weren't too accurate. With the JM shots are easy and very consistent.

The bounce on the blade feels terrific. You get the impression that the ball speeds up as i
leaves the bat. Also noticed immediately that despite not having changed the rubbers,
the behaviour changed substantially. With the JM a had a lot of more time on the ball and
the tenergy rubbers felt they could spin the ball with less effort on my part.
On my game, I rely heavily on my backend blocking. The JM absolutely excels at this.
I reckon in a matter on a couple of weeks my backend technic and consistent will improve
drastically. It's an amazing feeling to be able to rely on a blade like this. Suddendly,
I've got a lot more confidence to spin the ball with my backend and this blade makes
it really easy. My forehand has also noticed improvements, mostly it's a lot easier to impart
spin on the ball. Overall I'm very happy and despite being tagged at a high price, I'll def think
it's worth it. I'm missing fewer balls and enjoying those beautiful shots a lot more. This is a
hard quick blade for the offensive player that wants control.

Finally, I would like to leave my thanks the "Best Table Tennis Equipment Store" http://saletabletennis.com
for selling me this blade (and also the ZJSZLC - which I haven't tried yet) at great prices. My experience
with them was very good and I would recommend them to anyone here on tabletennisdaily. The communication
was good, the blades arrived in about 8 working days, and I felt this was site running by one person in HK trying
to make an honest living out of selling TT products. I've recommend it and would definitely buy from them again.
