Tibhar Cedric Nuytinck

You can find the last comment here. This blade is good, but it is not worth the money.

Next to Zhang Jike Blue Dragon, this is the worst blade ever.

Ugly price, not even worth mentioning. The worst blade here, next to Zhang Jike Blue Dragon.

I tested a lot of blades. I found this blade to be the best. It wins against all Butterfly ZLC blades.

Blade Overview

This blade offers an optimal speed range, landing between the faster Innerforce Layer ALC and the slower Zhang Jike ALC. The handle is comfortable even for larger hands, providing a secure grip. The blade’s balanced construction ensures excellent control and stability.

Compatibility

The blade pairs exceptionally well with Tibhar Evolution MXP, but also performs well with Rozena, Tenergy 05 FX, and Donic Bluestorm Z2. However, it does not align as effectively with Tenergy 05, hindering spin generation on serves and opening topspins.

Performance

The blade excels in passive and touch play, delivering great linearity and stability. It surpasses the Innerforce ALC in this regard, providing a more consistent performance when executing short game shots.

Advantages

Compared to the Innerforce ALC, this blade offers a slightly increased speed while maintaining exceptional control for passive strokes, chops, and blocks. The combination of MXP and Rosena rubbers further enhances stability, reducing errors and enabling effective attacks with ample spin.

Additional Observations

Despite the blade’s high price point, its exceptional performance and occasional sales make it a worthwhile investment. The craftsmanship is generally impressive, though the edges may be slightly sharp. The blade weighs approximately 87 grams and is well-balanced with MXP and Rosena rubbers.

Awesome blade, at least for me… I liked the Mizutani ZLC blade very much, which I played previously. It has an amazing “feeling” to it, and it’s pure pleasure to play with it. But, it has too much speed for me, and I still struggled. I tried different rubbers and so on… until I bought the Cedric Nuytinck blade.

Basically for me, the Nuytinck blade is very close to the Mizutani ZLC blade in terms of “feeling” but it has less speed and more control. Also, it’s much easier to change gears with the Nuytinck blade than with the Mizutani ZLC. So I sold the Mizutani ZLC and bought a second Nuytinck blade. Now I have two identical rackets, with one I will be training, and with the second I will participate in tournaments (just local amateur weekly tournaments, sadly I’m not a very good player…)…

So, I will strongly recommend trying this blade to anyone who loves the ZLC “feeling” but struggles with the speed of these blades… Another alternative is Apolonia and Innerforce ZLC, but I owned both of them. The innerforce technology is great, but it makes blades very much not linear. You can get accustomed to it, but it will take time and there might be a problem to find a matching rubber (for me, nothing gets even close to Tenergy 05 on Apolonia). So I switched from Apolonia to Mizutani because for me it was better to struggle with speed than low linearity of the blade. But, now I have the Nuytinck blade and so far I am very happy with it!

Excellent Z Fiber blade.

This is a controllable Z blade. Limba outer gives it a nice touch for over the table. The Z Fiber gives it the power from mid-distance. It is probably not the best choice for those that play far back. It is Offensive- to Offensive in speed. Light vibrations. Good quality build. Mine weighed 90 grams.

The only two drawbacks:

1. Expensive. Along with Kinetic Speed, this is Tibhar’s priciest blade. The retail price is $250. I bought mine lightly used from a Euro player for $165.

2. Hard to find. TableTennis11 carries it for $187, but usually low stock (probably due to price).

I like it! The blade with ZLC is fast but with a lot of control close to the blade!! I like the feeling and quality!

It has surprised me!! I recommend it!

Awesome Blade!

First of all, it’s high quality, similar to Butterfly!

Fast but not ultra-fast, Mizutani is 8-10% faster than Tibhar Nuytinck. It offers more control than Mizutani or other ZLC blades. It’s a bit stiff but with a medium-soft touch, perfect for close-to-the-table play and good for medium distance.

Perfect for players seeking a more controlled Mizutani or Boll ZLC blade, it’s less fast but offers all the other desired qualities. With low-to-medium arc, it provides more control near the table. For me, it’s the best Tibhar blade! Nuytinck and Samsonov use it.

Big Surprise!!!

Jest spoko, ale ja nie gralem.
