Pros
  • Speed
  • Feeling
Cons
  • Uncontrollable at times
  • Need to be high level to use it
  • Low Dwell Time
  • Not as much spin compared to ALC
The blade is VERY VERY fast and is controllable barely in the hands of a good player. Even with a hurricane 3 neo unboosted it was hard to control a lot my shots and to see if they would go on the table. Overall this blade is good with a great feeling however, you need top tier control to utilise its speed and catapult effectively

Pros
  • Speed
  • Forehand
  • Attacking
  • Looping
  • Driving
Cons
  • Backhand
  • Spin
  • Lobbing
The Zhang Jike T5000 excels in delivering basically attacking and power. Forehand drives become very fast and just effortless, with the ball literally catapulting off the paddle. The blade's hardness and speed make it effective for forehand and backhand blocks, allowing the person to handle fast loops. So if you are a looper , blocker or driver , this blade is for you.

I like the alc, but this would add some zing.

I haven’t tried the alc before , is it good?
Pros
  • Speed
  • Catapult Effect
  • Good Weight
Cons
  • Handle
This blade is super fast, by far the fastest blade I have ever played with (and I had an OFF+ blade before).
The Catapult Effect is excellent.
I thought my previous blade was fast, but when I have done topspins with this blade, I understood what a fast blade is.The weight of my specific blade is 86 grams, which is not bad, but not extremely light.
The blade has excellent control, but because of its blazing speed, it can be a bit hard to control.
I am not a beginner, but it did take me about two weeks to control my strokes well again.
One thing that I haven't liked is the bottom of the blade.
The bottom edge of the (anatomic) handle is a bit sharp, not dangerously of course but in an annoying way.
I don't know if it is safe to file the handle, so I prefer not to take the risk.
If any of you know the answer please tell me because I will be really happy to know.
Filing the handle will be great because it is a bit fat and adds lots of weight to the blade.
Overall, that's an excellent blade for the advanced attacking player, definitely my favorite from all the blades I have tried.
Hope I helped someone!
Yours,
Secret
