Anyone has a review of ZLF?

How is it compared to those blades?

Thanks.

Haven't seen a ZLF review. You should be proactive and buy all the blades and tell us what you think. Wink

First step exclude photino.
ZLF for the looks.
and the other 2 for the performance.
That's what I think. =D

Yeah, Photino is a great blade. I used it, just didn't like the weight or the thickness. I liked the feel better than my mizutani. I'm definitely considering buying a Timo ZLF because it's like a photino only thinner and lighter. Well, and it doesn't have hinoki outer plies...

ZLF VS ZLC (1-10 marks)
 
ZLF: Speed -  7
        Dwell time - 10
        Control - 10
 
ZLC: Speed - 10
        Dwell time - 9
        Control - 9
 
My review for Jun Mizutani ZL carbon:
 
This is the blade with best combo of speed, dwell time, and control for modern looping TT style, for ME. It has a hard/medium feel with lots of dwell time (holding the ball on the racket) when hitting the ball. This blade has a short throw angle, but combineing with Tenergy 05 (high throw angle), you can get medium throw angle combo. It is fast blade (something between Maze OFF (faster then him) and Amultart (slower then him). Control is very very good in all range (something like like Maze OFF and Timo Boll spirit OFF). Dwell time is : NO COMMENT!!! (In past I was thinking that Xiom Stradivarius is composite blade with best dwell time, but when you compare its dwell time to Mizutani ZLC, its nothingh special).
 
 
 
 
 
 
My opinion is that every both wing modern looper shoud choose ZLC instead ZLF, because its like arylate carbon VS arylate. ZLF is a lot slower (which is not good for new TT water based era where you must get max speed in blade, combineing with rubbers with built in glue effect (alot slower then rubbers + couple of layers of speed glue)) with little little more dwell time and control.
 
 
ZLC IS PRESENT AND FUTURE MATERIAL IN BLADES IN NEW WATER BASED TABLE TENNIS GLUE ERA.

Yes, instead this listen guy who plays like beginer (his country (Norway national TT knowledge in world of TT) tell everything of his knowledge in TT and skills).
I ask you one thing Asaomi: Who is your best national player? Maybe Poor Tabletennisknowledgus? Your super league in Norway is like our cadet (rabbit) league in Serbia.LOLThumbs%20Up
 
But maybe in future Asaomi, if you read my posts more, you will improve your game. First thing I suggest you is too change your whole slowly speed glue TT era setup to new (blade must be zylon carbon - neednt be Mizutani because you hate this blade because of me) setup.
