First of all this is a very good looking blade. It is not only used Super ALC but also changed the core material from Harimoto ALC. It still provides very good feel and control, have enough dwell time. it has a little head heavy, so need more effort on the forehand side. Reducing the weight or change the balance could be a solution. Backhand gives big surprise, it have great feel and easy to play on both block and attach. feels like have a "automatic gearbox", I am using D09C on my back hand which give me better experience Vs. I used D09c on the VIS.

I have used many blades ALC, ZLC, SUPER ALC/ZLC, as well as inner carbon & outer carbon blades. I have used the Ovtcharov & Franziska blade in past tournaments and have now finally settled on this blade. I have found it to be the slighter faster, with a bigger "sweet spot" than the previous two that I mentioned. I find the control to be EXCELLENT, while maintaining superior speed when I want it. The passive blocking is there which is a common theme it seems when using "inner" carbon blades, but when you flex the super ALC carbon in this blade, the speed really shines through. I used to use Dignics 05 on both sides but recently have switched to the new ZYRE-03 and my game has gone up another level. No other blade gave me this amount of control, both passive and active, while allowing me to speed it up to highest level in an instant. If you are an "inner" carbon lover, like me and have or do like softer blades like the Ovtcharov or the Franziska, then you will absolutely LOVE this blade.
