This blade falls between the Viscaria and Super Viscaria in terms of power. However, it feels more controllable than the Super Viscaria. It also has a higher arc and is less direct than the Zhang Jike ALC blade. I use 729 Battle 2 39-degree National Blue Sponge on the forehand and two layers of Haifu and Tibhar K3 on the backhand, with a very light layer of Haifu. This combination provides a good balance of control and power, and I recommend it particularly for players who want a bit of extra power in their looping shots. I've played tennis before and found that this blade works well with straight-arm swings. One of the most obvious strengths of this blade is the backhand, the feeling is really good. I'll post more reviews as I continue to break in the blade and rubbers.
EDIT:
I've had the blade for 1 year now,
- This blade is still amazong, I've compared it to Freeze HRD Joola, Viscaria, Super Viscaria, Lin Yun ju SZLC, Zhange Jike ALC, . This blade Has the best feeling to power ratio compared to the Butterfly blades. The power the blade produces still feels slight above Viscaria, but with a better feeling, and larger sweet spot. The blade pairs very well with Chinese Rubber/Hybrid rubbers. Currently I'm using Hurricane 3 blue spong for the forehand and d09c backhand. I think I'm going to try the Dynaryz ZGX, since it's had a higher through angle similar to d09c but slightly faster, and 60 bucks instead of 83 after my d09c wears out. I believe other reviewers have swapped or had good a reviews for it. It's currently out of stock, but once it's available again, I'd recommend giving it a try.
#TLDR 10% faster than viscaria 10% better feeling.

My new blade. It's a lot of fun to play with. It plays a bit more controlled than my Viscaria and it's also a bit slower at almost the same weight. Everything goes a little better than with the Viscaria, except for the 1st ball on backspin. You have to work a little more there. Workmanship is very good. Good job Joola.
Had hit with that ,Superb blade ! The problem very hard to find it all sold out.
Very good blade. The handle is very smooth, factory-sanded so it is very comfortable holding in hand. I played for 1 month and my BH skills upgraded. Lack a bit power for FH power-loop but it is still great. In my consideration, this blade is the upgrade version for Super Viscaria. Its worth your money.
I paired with Joola golden tango ps both sides. It's A very powerful blade that is fast even with a simple swing of the arm. It has amazing touch however it can be easy to overhit if you don't pay attention to your bat angle. For an experienced player this is blade is a very very good weapon but beginners should stay very far away!
This blade is fantastic. It's very fast yet it has control. The manufacture quality is high, mine is 83gr FL 1511Hz. The handle is comfortable even for big hands. The arc is long and low, and that unfortunately make this blade a bit difficult to use: you need good technical movements and good hands. I used with V>22 max on FH and DNA Platinum M 2.1 on BH. Recently I put Donic Z2 2.1mm on BH and BH improved a lot! I recommend the Z2 on BH. Since I'm looking for a bit more control, I'm trying Joola Nobilis with same rubbers. Let's see what happens, but I will keep ZQH90 always with me. Great blade.
This blade has a very good feeling. Fast and stiff but not overwhelming. Handle (fl) is comfortable. It favors forward motion when spinning. Arc has a medium height and it is long. Weight i? balanced. I believe this blade will be a best seller as it suits almost all kind of attacking strategies.
84 grams. High pitch around 1511-1535. Good handle dimensions and size. Stiff, hard, crisp and clear with consistent and deliberate bounce. Dynamic feeling with Rasanter C53 and H3 Neo alike. Chinese needs boosting since the blade has a clear demarcation before the bounce takes over when looping or countering. This makes it easy to block or counter depending on your preference regardless of opponents spin. Speed/Pace 7.5/10 when passive and 10/10 when active. Plenty of power along with the speed and pace. Spin is as good as any other alc blade. Can be more fickle with Chinese rubbers due to both being high hardnesses. It works well with C53 and Nittaku Z2. Touch - 9.5/10. It can keep ball short when softer touches and force the opponent to push when other blades of similar or less speed usually push or block long, this one doesnt. Looping is 9.2/10 CounterLoop is 9.6/10. Blocking is 10/10. Serve/receive is 9.1/10. Skip viscaria, skip super alc butterfly blades and get this one or the Tibhar zodiac for more control because that green alc is something else.
