Butterfly Zhang Jike Super ZLC – this is a revolutionary offensive table tennis blade, named after the World and Olympic champion Zhang Jike. This 5+2 ply blade, weighing about 85–90 g with a thickness of 5.6 mm, uses the innovative Super ZL-Carbon technology, which combines the speed of carbon fiber with the lightness and flexibility of ZL fiber. Made in Japan and ITTF-approved, the Zhang Jike Super ZLC is a premium-class blade designed for top-level players seeking maximum power, control, and spin.

The Zhang Jike Super ZLC consists of five wooden layers (limba outer plies, ayous middle layers, kiri core) and two Super ZL-Carbon layers placed just beneath the outer surface. Super ZL-Carbon is woven 1.8 times denser than regular ZL fibers, providing higher reaction and a larger sweet spot. The 5.6 mm thickness and 85–90 g weight ensure both maneuverability and stability. The standard 157 x 150 mm head size and enlarged sweet spot help reduce mishits. With a reaction property of 12.3 and vibration of 11.1, the blade offers very high speed and a hard feel, ideal for aggressive offensive play. Its ITTF approval allows use in professional tournaments.

The Zhang Jike Super ZLC is tailored for extreme offensive play:
Speed – 9.25/10, Control – 8.5/10, Reaction – 12.3, Vibration – 11.1.
It belongs to the OFF+ category, offering one of the highest speeds on the market, surpassing the Butterfly Timo Boll ALC (11.8) and Viscaria (11.8). The Super ZL-Carbon layers create a strong rebound effect, ideal for fast topspins, flat hits, and counterattacks.
Spin potential is high (9.5/10 for looping), especially with hard rubbers like Butterfly Dignics 09C or Tenergy 05, though short ball contact limits spin in slower shots. Control (8.5/10) is good for this class of blade, but the stiffness and speed demand high technique, especially for blocking or short touches.
Compared to Victas ZX-Gear OUT (speed 106/100), the Zhang Jike Super ZLC is slightly slower but offers a larger sweet spot.

The Zhang Jike Super ZLC is a 5+2 ply blade, where Super ZL-Carbon layers ensure high response and stability. Its 5.6 mm thickness makes it thinner than most ALC blades, and its 85–90 g weight (average 90 g) is optimal for speed and maneuverability. The blade has a hard feel with minimal flex, making it less forgiving than the Lin Yun-Ju Super ZLC, which offers more control. The large sweet spot created by Super ZL-Carbon allows for accurate hits even with imprecise contact.
The blade pairs well with hard rubbers such as Dignics 80 or Andro Rasanter R53, enhancing both speed and spin. Compared to the JOOLA Nobilis PBO-c, the Zhang Jike Super ZLC is faster but offers less ball contact time, making it less spin-oriented.
Users describe the blade as “laser-like” in precision, though it requires skill, especially for short play.

Three handle options are offered:

• AN (anatomic) – 100 x 25 mm

• FL (flared) – 100 x 25 mm

• ST (straight) – 100 x 23 mm

The FL handle is standard and suits most players, though it may feel wide for smaller hands. The ST handle is narrower and suits traditional grips, while the AN handle offers an ergonomic shape. Made in Japan, the handles feature elegant gold and black accents, ensuring comfort and durability.
The center of gravity is closer to the head, enhancing shot power. Users praise the width and comfort of the AN handle.

The Zhang Jike Super ZLC is designed for high-level offensive players, focusing on fast topspins, flat hits, and counterattacks. This blade suits professionals and experienced players with strong technique, as its speed (12.3) and hardness demand precise shots.
With short ball contact and a low trajectory, it is effective for fast play close to the table, but less ideal for looping mid-distance. Compared to the Butterfly Lin Yun-Ju Super ZLC, the Zhang Jike Super ZLC is faster but less controllable, making it better for aggressive shots.
It is ideal for players like Zhang Jike, emphasizing speed and power. Users note that the blade is a “weapon” for drives, but demands skill in short game.

The Zhang Jike Super ZLC is the first blade with Super ZL-Carbon, offering high speed (9.25/10) and good control (8.5/10). Its large sweet spot and densely woven Super ZL-Carbon ensure stability and precision, while Japanese quality guarantees durability.
Compared to the Butterfly Mizutani Jun Super ZLC, the Zhang Jike Super ZLC is slightly slower but has a larger sweet spot and better control.
ITTF approval and use by professionals (e.g., Zhang Jike) make it a premium choice. Users praise its speed and accuracy, but criticize the high price (~350 EUR) as excessive, even for premium gear.

The Zhang Jike Super ZLC is ITTF approved and suitable for all competition levels. Its speed and power allow dominance in rallies, especially for fast topspins and flat hits. The large sweet spot helps maintain precision in intense matches, but its hardness and low trajectory can be a challenge for blocking or short shots.
It’s a blade for players emphasizing aggressive play close to the table.

Butterfly Zhang Jike Super ZLC is a premium offensive blade, combining speed, control, and Japanese craftsmanship. Its 5+2 Super ZL-Carbon construction, large sweet spot, and ITTF approval ensure professional-grade performance.
An ideal choice for players aiming to dominate with fast offense.
