Hey everyone!

I'm currently looking into upgrading my blade and have narrowed it down to two options from the Harimoto series. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with either or both of these blades:
Harimoto ZLC vs Harimoto Super ZLC
What I'm hoping to learn
:
  • How do they compare in terms of speed and control?
  • Which one offers better feel for close-to-table play or far away
  • Any noticeable differences in the sweet spot?
  • How do they handle different rubber combinations?
  • Overall durability and build quality?
My playing style: I'm an offensive player who likes to stay far away from the table with quick exchanges, but I also need good control for placement shots.
If you've used either of these blades, I'd love to hear your honest thoughts - both pros and cons. Even if you've only tried one of them, your review would be super helpful!
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
Cheers,
Georgi

That is correct, but here we are talking about Harimoto series. They are inner
well ... not Harimoto, but AZXi ... one side is A (Arylate) and one side is Z (ZL Carbon) ... Z side has noticeably harder feel, more direct power, not so bouncy as well, so to say. A side has softer touch, bit more flex and bit more bounce. again - I know I am not speaking about Harimoto blade, but - AZXi is inner blade and Z side is stiffer and harder. maybe that is the same in Harimoto (S)ZLC blade ...

It does depend on what rubbers you're using.
