Trying to Make My JM ZLC Feel Like a Super ZLC: Rubber Suggestions?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on my setup. I currently play with a JM ZLC blade and Dignics 09C on my backhand. Recently, I borrowed a JM Super ZLC from a friend for a tournament and ended up winning matches against players I hadn’t beaten before. The Super ZLC felt more catapult-y on my backhand, and I could generate more power while brushing the ball continuously without making mistakes.

That said, my dilemma is that I don’t want to spend money on a Super ZLC because my JM ZLC is still in good condition.

So I’m wondering, would putting a Dignics 64 on my JM ZLC give a similar feel to the Super ZLC? I’ve also heard that Tenergy 05 is a popular backhand rubber for JM ZLC, but I’m not sure if it’s catapulty enough to mimic the Super ZLC. On the other hand, I worry that its higher arc might make it feel too different.

Has anyone tried something similar or have any suggestions? I’d love to hear your thoughts on rubber combinations that can bring a JM ZLC closer to a Super ZLC feel on the backhand.

No way.
Super zlc is a lot better, catapult didnt change anything.
The most important thing is szlc have another dimension with working on and breaking the spin.
That's how Faraji can beat top notch Chinese players. Its not enigma that Super zlc is made for Asians just to put pressure on Chinese players .

Only SZLC will play like SZLC

D64 is a good rubber but its not D09C and will not have a normal ZLC play like SZLC

If you really want the SZLC then you have to bite the bullet, you can have your regular JMZLC as your backup

Yes. Probably if you found bouncy tensor like Victas V22 Double Extra on ZLC you will receive kind of catapult and breaking spin attributes but you will not receive your spin on the same level.
Super zlc is from spaceship
