Looks that way to my naked eye but I didn't look super close. There may be stuff i don't see, maybe something about the way they glue them, or small differences in thickness that I'm not seeing, but if there are small differences, I don't think they matter much. The ALC ones I have a really...

You could take off about 2/3 of the top ply of a Mazunov when you change the rubbers and the thing would still be a club.

Whenever I see the question "which blade is better for looping", I cringe. It depends on so many factors. Looping by whom? With what rubber? On which side? Against topspin or underspin? From close in, mid-distance or further off the table? Third balls or fifth and on from there? And if...

Between the two blades the OP asked about, my initial answer is whichever one has a handle that fits your hand and grip better. Reading more closely, though, I have to ask WHICH ZJK blade? There are several variants depending on the composite layer (ALC, ZLC, sZLC, T5000). And the ZJK comes...

I have experienced problems with wide-pored sponges on sealed blades using WBG. So I don't seal anymore.

In this regard, I want to put in a plug for Nexy Karis M rubber. It is slower than what I have been using but more importantly, it is very predictable. I experience a very noticeable reduction in errors already, and I have not yet trained my brain and adjusted all my shots for this stuff yet...

I understand the idea that a lot of people are using rubber that is beyond them, I just wonder if thinner is the only legitimate answer. It seems to me there is more than one way to solve that problem.

Ok blade. True Carbon is better. These blades go well with Tenergy and most ESN rubbers.

If you try to make your blade waterproof, rubber adhesion becomes problematic. I really don't think its necessary.

My two favorite places on the planet to buy stuff. TT11 is often a bit cheaper. Megaspin delivers really fast if you are in the US. TT11 is not slow, though. They use DHL for delivery. Both have amazing customer service. Cant go wrong with either one. I base this on many purchases, going...

Why not slower rubber in max? I'm not trying to be argumentative and I dont have a strong opinion, I just wonder about the rationale for the advice people are giving.

1 million tnumbs up for last post. Every single point of it is important. All Viscarias are good. Getting a great one is luck, but I have had three great ones that were H and I series (two were stolen). Weight balance and feel made them great. It is hard to say all tnat went into it. All the...

I can't see the composite layer where one would be expected to see it from that picture angle (based on the ZJK-ALC I am looking at right now). Not sure what it is but it's not that. If only it came with a magic transmitter that would make him shut up.

I thought Fegerl might take a late step up, but no.

He is relentless.

There must be lots of different blades where you train. Only way to know what you like it to tty tnem. Older Viscaria is not a guarantee, and expensive and hard to find. Trust me, tnis I know! H and I series are nice but nobody wants to sell their's. I wasted a lot of money on blades...

Some people just like to mess with their blades.

One cautionary note and another way to think about this. A reason NOT to seal blades. These days, premium performance rubbers cost as much as blades (or a lot more if you take it over the course of a year or two). For example, a Viscaria costs ~ 120-130 USD, but two sheets of T05 cost 160...

I've never tried that. Old fashioned hair zpray works.

5 out of 5 rating for Karis M I tested M and M+ on a ZJK-ALC blade. Because I bought the rubber myself for market price, and have no business connection to Nexy, you can consider this an unbiased review. For the last decade, I have played more or less exclusively with ALC blades and...
