A soft, huge headed, but very flexible and surprisingly fast blade thanks to it's innerforce-type Zylon layers.
Normally you'd think something like that will be pretty slow (and it indeed is slow, in the 'innerforce zlf' blade), but they somehow tampered with the build and made the nearly identical LSW ZLF, which is a much faster blade (it is said that the only difference is in the manner of how they glued the different layers together).
This is a great blade for powerful, spinny topspin and one of the blades with the highest throw on a topspin, so works great with low/medium throw hard/tacky rubbers (like the Battle 2 I use).
Not much else to say. It does everything fine. It is not the best blade for driving or timid blocks, or any kind of timid play in general because its high flexibility requires you to also have motion and angle when you touch the ball. If you don't do that correctly the ball will be inconsistent because of the high flex, but if you do then the high flex will play in your favor and give you very fast and spinny balls that you'd be hard pressed to get with other blades.
That said, your balls will never be as fast or direct as topspins with a blade like a viscaria or DHS H301, but will be safer because of the throw. Backhand also will be very safe and fast - I feel this blade is especially good for backhand, where it is very fast, spinny and much safer than with viscaria type blades.
You can also definitely feel the woodiness of the blade, but the zylon layer also has a distinctive feel to it which does deaden the natural feel.
But then, if you play with this kind of blade you should be at a level where this will not disturb you too much.
