I have gone 180 on Zyre regarding serves. Used 09c before. Long serves are much better and easier to disguise than with 09c. Something about the low dwell time i guess, not really sure but my long and half-long serves after using zyre for a month are now much better than they were with 09c...

Used D80 more than a year ago and as far as i remember the feel - i agree. The thing with me is my bh is the weakest side, but i do lots of chop block, side swipes, rubbing the ball from it’s momentum etc. and for this i believe Zyre is better as it’s more dead at those “shots”. Agree? Don’t...

How would you compare D80 and Zyre then? In terms of spin sensitivity and ease of engagement?

Hey @mvibritannia . How is the setup going for you? Could you elaborate on the throw angle of the mizutani against viscaria salc (or fzd salc) if you have played them? The Super Viscaria is a bit too flat/direct and i'm looking for something in between it and normal alc. Also , interesting you...

How come its not linear with SALC? Compared to normal alc? I boost it once just to soften it and increase feeling and control. I actually will probably like it better when speed improvement disappears in a month. Now.. i never said spin isn’t important, i know spin rules the game. What i meant...

It’s linear because it’s very hard. Even though speed is above 05 and 09c (probably at about 80) the control And touch shots is just below 09c. Activates a bit harder than 05 but not by much and easier than 09c. Arc on medium power shots and punches is very direct and medium like. On strong...

I am speaking about level of play of about 1800 according to this video on youtube . My matches look like the clip starting at 5:45. Used to play with Ovcharov Alc and then FZD ALC for almost 2 years, been going through 09c, 05, 80 and lately Zyre 03. Now got Viscaria Super ALC and put 2x...

Anyone that do chop blocks or any sidespin pushes with Zyre, how is it? I do like to do chop blocks on slow spinny balls to my bh and with zyre i find i can keep them lower and maybe spinnier, but def find it easier with zyre than my D80 which is weird to me.. could it betha the higher grip...

Probably wise to do the checking after the new ball.

Man.. people in here putting Zyre 03 on a SZLC's is really beyond me.. even most pros went to a slower blade to accommodate to Zyre (or am i wrong?) . Anything faster than normal alc and zyre for me for anyone at our level is probably not doing us any favours.. On this topic.. anyone tried it on...

Zyre 03 Butterfly representative talks about Butterfly rubbers and blades (zyre 03 too) for 20min.

Man.. this blade looks very interesting... especially because of the limba outer ply, something tells me it makes perfect harmony with the zyre.. I bet it will feel better than on viscaria ( outer koto ) ? Such an expensive experiment this is though..

Any updates?

Truls played with some DNA rubber , on his black side at least lol.

Thanks for the detailed comparison. Anyone has experience with the Harimoto Super ZLC? Similar feedback would be much appreciated. Is it also head heavy?
