The waiting is finally over. Got my ZLF with T05 on FH & Boost TP on BH yesterday. It is such a nice awesome looking blade.
Anyway, I had a long good evening with the blade today. Nice feeling, great blade for looping, and very good control. The small vibration feedback helps me a lot when I loop the ball. Mine is ~ 84 gr and and it feels very balanced. |

So maybe you can reenforce my point that, while it is not worth what they charge for it in the US, it is still a great blade and for 105 Euros(what I paid), it was worth it to me.

Forgot to mention that I also paid 105 Euros for the blade. And I don't know how much the blade is sold in the US. Anyway, T05 on ZLF is such a nice looping combo...  |

I would definitely agree. As a matter of fact, I have never varnished any of my blades including the ZLF. I have always ensured to peel off the butters side to side and never had any splintering issues related to peeling off rubbers. Now with gluing and re-gluing days gone, there is even less chance to encounter the issue. |

Missouri. Yeah it's in good shape. It has a few dings on the edges, but nothing crazy, blade face is fine on both sides. I'll provide pics if you do get a serious interest.

What are the characteristics of a blade that all you to feel the ball on the bat and send the sensation down the hand and into the forearm?

So an all wood blade will transfer the feeling from the ball on the face to the hand and wrist more then a carbon fiber blade? I assume this is because of vibration?

I am sticking with the TBS! Now I just need to find a post speed glue rubber that would be suitable for a 1200 to 1600 player?
Is the rubber solocion a post speed glue ban rubber? |

Stay away from Tenergy. If you must have butterfly, give bryce speed fx a shot. Lovely rubber. If you want to dare try a different brand, try any of the german made tensors, they should suit your needs at your level.

German Made Tensors? Can you give me an example of a German made tensor? Sorry for the dumb question and sorry I did not search it first! I am so afraid to ask any questions on here for fear I will get yelled at for not using the search option.

Anything made my ESN, for example Donic's line of desto or platin rubbers, most of Joola's rubbers, Tibhar Nimbus series, Andro Plasma or roxon series, ect.
Also, there is the new generation of these tensors, which would be Andro Hexer, Joola Xplode, Donic Barracuda, Xiom Vega, ect. I'd recommend something like Andro Plasma, in 2.0 sponge or so. It is pretty controllable. |
