I have two of these blades and they seem identical. I usually prefer 7-ply wood, but I wanted to try an inner carbon blade, so I got this one.
I play with long pips (LP) on the backhand side, and I will say the control and ability to chop and place the ball are all exceptional for a blade of this speed. On the forehand side, it is mainly a control blade until my opponent hits hard, or I try to open up, and then the speed kicks in.
The feel is not as good as most of the 7-ply wood blades I own, but the control on my backhand side is as good or even better than 7-ply wood. Fit and finish are good, but not superior.
I definitely recommend this blade. I wonder about the playing quality of the gear fiber only version of this blade. Recommended for LP players for sure.
My second paddle. I glued Rakza ZEH and Ventus to it, and it quickly became my favorite training tool.
Compared to the Butterfly Harimoto ALC, the ZXGi is slower, but it grips the ball better when hitting hard. Strong shots feel safer and more stable. It feels like a Korbel, but with more punch.
Beautiful workmanship.
Classic Offensive.
Lower flight curve.
Big sweet spot.
I would recommend it to players who play at the table. Further from the table, it loses its breath.
Good for short/long pips.
