Butterfly Lin Yun-Ju Super ZLC Offensive Shakehand Blade

A blade with Super ZL Carbon for greater power and bounce

The Lin Yun-Ju Super ZLC is an offensive shakehand blade that combines wood with Super ZL Carbon. Both its reaction property and vibration property rank among the higher values in our offensive shakehand lineup, making it a blade suited to powerful shots.

Features

• A construction of 5 wood plies combined with 2 layers of Super ZL Carbon.
• The reaction property (a guide to how much bounce the blade has) of 12.3 is a high figure even among the offensive shakehand blades we carry.
• The vibration property (a measure of vibration frequency — the higher the number, the firmer the feel) of 11.1 is also on the high side within the category.
• The average weight of 83 g is on the light side among the offensive shakehand blades we carry.
• Only the FL (Flared) grip is available.

Recommended for

• Players who want to use the high reaction property to hit powerful drives
• Intermediate to advanced players who want power while swinging through with a lighter blade

Pros and things to consider

Things to consider
