Butterfly Zhang Jike T5000

Worth every penny. If you don’t like the feeling of ALC, try this one. Fast, spinny, controllable. The best Tamca blade. 10/10.

First of all, I apologize for any spelling errors. When I first bought this blade, it felt exceptionally fast. However, after several training sessions, I gained excellent control over it. I play with T05 on both sides and am considering switching my forehand to Tibhar Evolution FX-P.

This blade is remarkably fast while also offering impressive control. The sweet spot on this blade is not the largest but is adequate. The loops it produces are particularly effective from a distance. This blade performs exceptionally well with a soft rubber due to its high stiffness.

I hope this review has been helpful, and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide a review of this blade with Tibhar Evolution FX-P rubber.

Zhang Jike t5000 is a good replacement for my Sardius. Although it’s slightly slower in terms of ball rebounce, it offers several advantages:

1. Excellent control 2. Optimal ball dwell time 3. Effective for blocking 4. Suitable for short game and touch play 5. Fast blade with a low throw angle 6. Ideal for drive and smashing 7. Versatile for close, mid, and far away from the table.

Current blade setup: fh/bh T05.

Coming from an Amultart, I immediately noticed the difference in feel with this blade. It’s very crisp with excellent feedback from the ball.

Despite its speed, the control is surprisingly good. It’s not too bouncy in short games and controlled shots, but it explodes with power in attacking shots. Power loops, counters, drives, and smashes are all fantastic. Blocking is effortless, almost as if the blade is in auto mode.

I adjusted to the blade immediately with just a few hits. This is due to the exceptional control it offers. Just minutes after switching, my strokes became more consistent, and my confidence in executing all types of shots skyrocketed.

Comparing this to the ZJK ALC, I find that this blade has more feel and power. The dwell time feels similar.

This is my first review after referencing this site for a considerable time. The ZJK T5000 inspired me to write about it because I am surprised that only one review has been written about such an outstanding blade.

For reference, I use Tenergy 05-FX on FH and Andro Rasant Power Grip on BH, with occasional switching during matches depending on the competition’s requirements.

Good blade if you love tamca style.

Revised after 10 months: The ratings for “Control” are a joke to me! I’ve never had a better feel with any blade. Speed and control have an outstanding relationship here. Facts: strong FL handle, weight 88 g, … blade sealed with clear varnish!

After playing with a STUOR Nobilis ZLC Hinoki blade (which is harder, faster, and more direct!) for some time, I got my hands on this blade. … I glued both sides with a Tibhar Aurus Select, with 1.7 mm sponge thickness. - and I was thrilled! Sufficient speed and incomparable control. - pure feeling! … just madness.

After a few weeks, I exchanged the Tibhar on the forehand side for a Nittaku Fastarc G-1 in 2 mm. - to get more rotation! Ultimately, I decided on a Dignics 09c (2.1 mm). On the backhand side, I’m currently using the Tenergy 64 with 1.7 mm, which I also use on my Stuor Nobilis ZLC Hinoki. - I swapped the Aurus Select after 3 months for a TSP Ventus Speed (1.8 mm) with an identical (45°) hardness, which has a flatter and longer trajectory.

Conclusion: Every offensive player should feel comfortable with this outstanding blade. All my friends who played with my racket were impressed by the feedback. This blade, together with my Stuor Nobilis, is now my set number 1 point 2. ;) ( - I use the Stuor in competition, “with softer balls,” when I want a little more speed and hardness! ;-P … otherwise, the Z.JK T5000 comes to use!)
