The ZL-carbon provide the stability for the attack. Create a very good feeling with a lot of spin but still keep the ball trajectory low. Garaydia ZLC suitable for close to the table both wings attack style. A little vibration give the paddle even more feeling for blocking and looping.

FAQ: Does Megaspin sell Japan-made Butterfly blades?
Some Butterfly blades like Korbel and Grubba are produced in factories both in Europe and in Japan, so they exist in 2 variants. When a Japanese blade has a Europe-made version, we always carry the Japanese variant. Other blades like Butterfly Timo Boll Offensive are only made in China so we cannot carry a Japanese variant of these blades.
Professional racket assembly is offered on several racket combinations free of charge. Please add a blade and 2 rubber sheets to the shopping cart to activate the racket assembly option on your cart. For more details see Racket Assembly FAQ.
You may also select ready-made rackets and pre-selected combos from our rackets section.

Perfect blade with Digincs 05 on both sides. Good at anything and I feel like I can hit every ball with excellent quality. Flicks are exceptionally well and lethal. I've tried it with different rubbers and D05 is best one so far. While other rubbers like Tenergy 05 and 09c are lack of shot quality or ESN rubbers are missing enough grip. The only downside to somebody is its thickness but overall amazing.

I own many awesome blades and this one sits there at the top along with my Donic Waldner World Champion '89 blade (both with different characteristics but with the same results). Paired the blade with Tibhar Evolution FX-P MAX on both sides. Very powerful when hitting hard and the sound is music to the ears. Great combination for blocking and ball placement. Very nice control with a medium trajectory as long as proper technique is used. The blade is well constructed with thick Japanese Hinoki outer plies, ZLC, and Kiri center ply. The blade without rubber weighed 91 grams and when the rubber and side tape was added the total weight is 186 grams (perfect) using 2 digital scales for accuracy and both had equal numbers. When comparing the Garaydia ZLC to the Donic Otvcharov Carbospeed blade with the same origin and make-up they almost sound identical with the same great characteristics and playing ability. The one feature I do like with the Garaydia ZLC is how well the flared handle sits in my hand (very comfortable). Great looking blade give it a try. 5 STAR blade with a 10.

I use the T5000 and now I bought a ZLC because the Garaydia model has been discontinued and there are few left - I don't think there will ever be a new Butterfly model with Hinoki so thick on the outer leaf. When compared they are similar, both OFF +. ZLC is slightly slower with slightly higher arc. But due to the ZLC, the control and block on the table is much better and the contact time with the topspin ball is longer - now I have no difficulty attacking underspin services. Services have more effect. Overall, the ZLC model is undoubtedly better and the energy dispersion of the ZLC material on the topspin blocks is incredible: in such fast wood it is easy to block aggressively but also the soft block with the ball bouncing two or more times in the opponent side. In short, it is an OFF +, very thick and good quality Hinoki wood in the outer sheet which produces surprising good control in the block and in the short game. Now I use ZLC with Tenergy 05 (FH) and 05FX (BH): my game is still fast and aggressive but I have better control.

Great Blade for the advanced player has good control and touch. Not heavy and has large sweet spot with lively speed when needed. I use with Rasant R47 spin 2.1mm Rubber on my Forehand and Rasant Hexer 1.9mm short pips Rubber on the backhand.Well worth the money. Has increased my performance by 20% - 30 %.

What a powerful Blade. It is very fast, and also has a nice throw angle, plus the zlc carbon and the thick hinoki outer ply gives It a nice touch. It is not balsa in the center, it is Kiri. For me, It was too powerfull, I gave It to my coach for a better usage.
