Yes that's a great point! The weight and sponge thickness play a important role in a set up. I've played with this racket again tonight. Quick update on my previous experience: Dignics 80 on the backhand paired with this blade is a fantastic rubber. It's easy to play, you get tons of control...

Yes... Now that I tried Zyre03, I want to test it on other blades to see how it reacts. Equipment is really about finding the combination that works for you, and more specifically that you "trust". If the first time I tried the JMZLC it was with D09C, I'm not sure I would have continue with it.

Yes D09C throw angle is very high and I think this is what always bugged me on slow openings and pushes. I did not feel like D80 was very low honestly, lower than D09C for sure, but in general not really low. Indeed I have the same feeling about the arc of the Zyre03. On slow speed the arc is...

I had the same feeling with T05, as you can read on my first review of the blade. However with Z03 this issue totally went away.

Part 2: The Zyre 03 Experience Now let's talk about the Zyre 03 (Z03)—I have a lot to say about this one. I’ve been interested in this rubber ever since Harimoto was spotted using it a while ago in Asia. When it was released, I read countless reviews and was skeptical that it would fit my...

Review: Jun Mizutani ZLC with Tenergy 05, Dignics 80, and Zyre 03 Hi guys, I am continuing my testing with the Jun Mizutani ZLC (JMZLC). I tested two different setups: FH: Tenergy 05 / BH: Dignics 80 FH: Zyre 03 / BH: Dignics 80 Please keep in mind that these are my subjective feelings...

I have tested Dignics 80 on friday. I will be testing Zyre 03 tonight. The goal was to test them separately with a tenergy 05 on the other side of the blade, to have a baseline and be able to really tell the differences. I will write a full review on both tomorrow :)

Thanks for the input! Have you tried Zyre 03 on it yet?

Those two blades are really good but also very different. Their size are different: 158x152 HSALC vs 157x150 JMZLC. The weight distribution is different, HSALC is head heavy while JMZLC is handle heavy. The HSAL has more stability in block and counter loop, but has more inertia. Switching to...

Quick update as I have been able to test Dignics 09C on the Mizutani ZLC: Completely different feeling. I personally did not like it at all. The +: - Short game is clearly easier thanks to the tackyness and hard sponge - More control when hitting hard The -: - With Dignics 09C you have to...

Thanks a lot for the input. I really fell in love with the blade, so I'll probably try all the combinations of rubbers.

This is what scares me about Dignics 09c, maybe boosting it could solve the issue. The slight "tackiness" of Dignics 09c is hard to replace. Do you still get good control with Zyre 03 on this blade, especially for the short game?

Well I don't think it's bad for smashing, and you are right the stiffness is playing a role in this. You can still hit hard with the proper technique, and it will be relatively fast. But having played with a Boll ALC and Harimoto SALC, the ball quality on this type of shots is clearly lower...

The only issue of this blade is the price, it's really expensive to test... I've looked at it for years, but never pulled the trigger because I thought It would not match my playing style. I believe it's one of the most beautiful butterfly blades, and wanted to have one even if I don't play...

Almost anyone who played with Dignics 80 says the same thing. It's ordered can't wait to try it now, I will update my review after the test.

Hi everyone, I've been gifted a Mizutani ZLC at christmas. In comparison to more popular blades (Viscaria, Boll ALC, Harimoto...), the amount of reviews is very limited. It's hard to have an idea of how this blade actually plays before you try it. As I have not found a lot of information on...
