I've played with some carbon blades and arylate-carbon hybrids.

The carbon only blades (T-5000 & Primorac) feel very nice to me. Almost no vibration, feel stiff and have a large sweet spot.

The arylate-carbon hybrids (TB Spirit & Matsush*ta Pro Special) feel a bit softer and seem to have a smaller sweet spot than the pure carbons. I also find a bit more vibration in these blades if you hit them off the middle.

What do you think of the ZL and ZLC blades in terms of 'feel' compared to the carbon and carbon/arylate blades?

Also, anyone tried the titanium blades from stiga/have a comparison there?

I have tried the Carbon-Titanium-Ceramic Fibres Shark of Xi EnTing. She has enormous sweet spot and zero vibrations.

Both ZL and ZLC have more vibration than arylate or tamca/ulc carbon blades. However there are the blades with thin regular carbon layers (WSC, YMLC) that have comparable vibrations to regular allwoods.
