ZLF to ???

[imbadatlooping]

Hey everyone. I currently play with the Xiom Hayabusa ZL Pro with Rakza Z FH and Xiom Vega X BH. Ive been loving this blade and i plan to stick with it until i get to around 1500 USATT or when i feel i need something more powerful. What would be the best upgrade for a player who loves ZL Fiber and wants more power, a step up, and a seamless transition from one blade to another? Inner ALC? Inner ZLC? Something Else? Even though i have no intent on upgrading right now, i would like to know for the future and I love to research about different equipment. Thanks!

You could just stay with the blade if you like it that much and then get rubbers like Dignics 09C and Dignics 05 if you want more power, but it ultimately comes down to technique and how you generate your own power.

True, I will keep that in mind and might do this first before changing rackets. I just know that at some point ill need to upgrade my racket because i can already feel the lack of speed when i give my all on a shot since ive played with other setups before (Dignics 09C will definitely help with speed in that regard compared to Rakza Z, based on the comparison video that i saw from TTD). Is dignics 05 a good backhand upgrade from Xiom Vega X? I'm not too informed on all the butterfly rubbers and blades.

Looks like this thread has the answers you might be looking for. Dignics 05 vs Xiom Vega X

Here are a few options that you can do research on:

Viscaria (Outer ALC Carbon)
Hurricane Long 5 (Inner ALC Carbon)
Lin Yun-Ju Super ZLC (Outer ZLC Carbon)
Harimoto Innerforce ZLC (Inner ZLC Carbon)

FH rubbers:
Rakza Z EH
Dignics 09C
Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge (if you don't mind boosting)

BH rubbers:
Dignics 05
Tenergy 05
Victas V22 Double Extra

I wouldn't switch blades first.
Keep your blade first and get a faster rubber. It's easier to get used to the set up in my opinion.
I use D05 on Forehand also a very good option.

Okay Ill do that then when i get to that point. Ill probably do dignics 09c FH and Dignics 05 BH.

No problem! Here are the links to those blades if you wanted an idea of cheaper options for them. It's from a website called PROTT.vip and I believe they're based in China so I think the prices are cheaper over there compared to US or other countries.

Lin Yun-Ju price: Lin Yun-Ju Blade
Harimoto Innerforce ZLC price: Harimoto Innerforce ZLC Blade
Viscaria ALC price: Viscaria ALC Blade
Hurricane Long 5 price: Hurricane Long 5 blade

Don't worry about it. You already have a very powerful setup. Maybe at 2000 USATT you could think about a new one.
