Butterfly Fan Zhendong Super ZLC
Blade description
This blade is a high-performance composite implement featuring Super ZLC fiber, placing it at the top end of the speed spectrum within the Butterfly Super ZLC series. It is characterized by a very stiff construction and a solid, firm feel that provides significant power for offensive play. While it is capable of high-speed output, it remains manageable for advanced players who possess precise technique.
Playing Characteristics
- Feel and Dwell: Offers a hard, solid tactile feedback. Compared to other Super ZLC models, it provides a moderate dwell time that balances responsiveness with the ability to produce high-quality, spinny shots.
- Trajectory: The arc of the ball is positioned between the low-arching Zhang Jike SZLC and the higher-arching Mizutani SZLC. This requires players to adjust their block and counter-attack angles when transitioning from other carbon blades.
- Performance: Designed for high-level offensive play, it excels in generating quality shots during serve-receive and active attacking sequences. While it provides substantial power, it necessitates refined technique to fully control the blade’s inherent speed and spin potential.
This blade is recommended for experienced players seeking a fast, stable, and highly capable setup that prioritizes quality of shot and spin generation over soft, flexible sensations.

86 grams. Tried several rubbers: Hammond Z2 2.0, boosted Skyline 40°, G-1 2.0, and finally on Inventus 47.5 XT MAX sponge. Stiff and very small flex when looping mid-hard. When doing hard powerloops, it stiffens up but has strong/long dwell. It is quite fast, but holds for a long time. It loops well, much better to brush and accelerate with great timing and spin over power. Great at serving, blocking, and short game, but opening can be difficult depending on timing and spin unless your technique and strategy keep the ball with mild spin initially. I can do powerloops and then drop shots with double or triple bounces next. Counterlooping off the bounce is perfect for this racket. This blade does well with people who want speed and spin off the bounce while countering and driving. Blocks are quick, they kick against the opponent, and spin on wrist movement is good, not crazy, but enough to keep pressure. Biggest flaws can be throw; it is mid-low unless you push it up. The ball also pops up on lobs/fishing, and good players can use that against you. Do not recommend extra-hard rubbers unless you have the stamina of a cheetah. 45 to 50 degrees is recommended. The only rubber that is harder and still good is 09 °C.

My setup:
My experience with this blade: This blade is incredibly stiff; you don’t feel much with FH or BH. It’s very speedy. However, the arc of the trajectory is very low, often resulting in net catches. The spin aspect isn’t that good either; I feel like Sardius has more of both spin and speed.
