There are 2 versions of Primoracs on the pictures. The Japan one I would say, might be described as the wood version of a TB ZLF (edit: more in terms of the feeling and flexibility, definitely a softer touch), while the European one plays rather similar to the TB ALC (well Freitas would more accurate probably), being of course slower.

The Primorac Euro paired with the two Z1 BluesStorm rubbers, one being a turbo version is a really nice setup I managed to assemble recently. It still has this kick effect, just like TB ALC has, but is essentially a slower blade, which gives me - an amateur - a necessary control. Plays really nice - to my very surprise. Fh side has quite a hard sponge and behaves almost in a fashion like Chinese rubbers (and probably slightly different blade). The euro version on the picture, also has a little trimmed head ... ~3 millimeters from the top : )

@Derek, you must have quite a "rocket" there, don't you?
Yeah it does pack a punch, but surprisingly controllable. Though I do wonder how fast it would be if it was installed on one of those tamca 5000 blades?

After many time searching I can feel like the path is over, thanks to many forum users that helped in that long way looking for the "perfect bat".

Got myself a New Year present, bought another Mizutani ZLC blade :eek: Thought of buying SZLC, but gladly I had a chance to test ball bounce of ZLC and SZLC blades (without rubbers)... so on SZLC ball bounces anout 2 (!!!) times higher than on ZLC blade, so don't even dream that it's possible for me to play with SZLC blade, I struggle even with the speed of ZLC...

So a few photos of my rackets:

- side with logo: Apolonia ZLC, Mizutani ZLC ("new"), Mizutani ZLC ("old"); XIOM OMEGA VII Asia [max] on all rackets

- side without logo: Apolonia ZLC, Mizutani ZLC ("new"), Mizutani ZLC ("old"); XIOM OMEGA VII Asia [max] on all rackets

- weight of Apolonia ZLC + XIOM OMEGA VII Asia [max] on both sides

Got myself new blade and new rubbers... It's Tibhar Cedric Nuytinck [CONC] blade and two XIOM OMEGA VII Pro [max] rubbers... played a light tournament with it, so far not very sure what to think about it, need to play a bit more, a couple of trainings at least, but got an imression that this blade is very different compared to my Apolonia ZLC and Mizutani ZLC blades, but at the same time it's somehow kinda have something common with both of them... so, really vague impressions so far... so, here are a few photos that I taked while glueing the racket :eek:

Changed rubbers recently... At first tried GEWO Nexxus EL PRO 48 on BH instead of Joola Rhyzer 48, played it a couple of months and like it so much that decided to try out GEWO Nexxus XT PRO 48 on FH instead of Tibhar Hybrid K1 (euro. edt.)... so far I like XT on FH very much, gonna stick with it for some time. The weight of the racket is also quite nice for me, it's 183,8 gramms... Actually current racket feels so great for me, that it makes me feel that I can do anything! :D

Here's what I have:
1) Nittaku Acoustic ST. Waiting for Ma Long's signature (some day...)
2) Joola Sting. My blade I was using 12 years ago when training at school. Has Timo Boll signature, soon to be sent to my first coach, who encouraged me to play table tennis <3
3) Yinhe V-14 Pro. Current blade. It's either Hurricane 3 provincial (orange) or 729 Battle II FH + always Rakza 7 BH :)
