Cpen setup.
I'm a penholder player. I actually play SP for quite a while. I play close to the table, block, punch block and flat hit.
I just played with my friend's racket just now.
It's Butterfly Zhang Jike Super ZLC with Dignics 09c and Hurricane 3. It's a SH setup.
Man, it's sooo good!
I had always been sceptical about fast carbon blades like ZLC, but this is so good, with D09c (I'm not too fond of the hurricane 3).
Fast flat ball on flat hit and punch. Drive and loop are of course very good too. Even RPB is good. Surprisingly very good control too.
This Zhang Jike Super ZLC + D09c combo is literally the best combo I have ever used. I'm not even exaggerating. And I have A LOT of blades.
Should I pull the trigger and get this blade?
Also, I'm quite new to RPB. I used to play one-sided penholder. I asked Gemini, and it says D09c is not recommended for RPB. It recommends Dignics 80 instead. Is that a good rubber?
