DONIC New Zhang Jike blade

The inner carbon version is expected to come out in June. And the gold tag is before that.

After using the blade for a few weeks and really going hard at practice with it, I think I prefer my Viscaria Super ALC blade over Zhang Jike's blade. I followed Zhang Jike's method for his blade and it feels softer than my Viscaria SALC. Maybe I would've liked it better if I had gotten it when it first came out (since Ia had heard it was harder than it is now), but I'm going to glue my 09c/05H on my Viscaria SALC and sell the Original Carbon blade.

Other than hardness, how does it compare?

It's a good blade overall. I felt like it matches ZJK's powerful backhand style and flicks. Forehand had lots of spin when I used Boosted Dignics 09c, but it felt weird, something I can't describe tbh. Maybe it was due to adjusting my technique so I can use more wrist and lower body or even keeping it in the damped towel like ZJK mentioned in his video (that was my first time doing his method so I'm not sure if that's a big reason I didn't like it enough to keep using it)? I just know that I put my 09c/05H on the Viscaria Super ALC and will stick with that until I get my DHS Skyline 2 Blue Sponge and Trinity Charged in a few weeks. I will say for the price I got it for, definitely a good blade.
