Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid ZC

Fast even with unboosted slow Hurricane 3, but for me, I had a very hard time staying consistent and keeping the ball in play no matter how hard I tried. Maybe I need to give it more time or develop my technique, but not super impressed so far. Definitely designed for those with very good technique only.

The blade is an excellent choice for OFF+ players. I tried it to figure out the difference from my Shang Kun AC. The ZC version is significantly faster than the AC, but the control is less. So I decided to go for the AC, because for me it is fast enough and gives me more dwell time and control and the possibility to go faster with a faster rubber. For example, I can go for the Rasanter R53 instead of the R48. That means for me, I prefer the AC version with more flexibility; in other words, if I choose the ZC, it is so fast that I had to change my rubber to the R45. So if you are a high-speed player, the ZC would be an excellent choice for you. (Sorry, I made some mistakes, my English is not the best.)

This blade is truly a looping machine. ZLC carbon kicks in when needed, blocking is also great, smashes are decent, and the touch game is very good.

Depending on your level and skill, this blade does not need too much effort for forehand loops. I agree with previous comments that the packaging is not quality!

Other than that, the blade is awesome. I would like to commend TT11 for their remarkable service!

The new ZLC blade from Tibhar seems so promising. The blade’s head size is normal compared to the old head size from Tibhar that is usually too short. My ST handle is comfortable like the Innerforce ST series from BTY. The blade is fast, hard, and reminds me—one step—it is harder and faster than Amultart. Control feels like BTY Schlager Carbon. The bad thing is the blade package! For the above 150 USD price of the blade, the cover is very, very disappointing. Tibhar should learn from other companies how to pack your blade!

Great blade! It is very bouncy and powerful. Great for close table attack and mid-range looping. I will say this Shang Kun Hybrid ZC is very close to my Butterfly Boll ZLC, perhaps even faster.
