Ask The Experts

Blade: Zhang Jike ZLC
Forehand: Tenergy 80 or Tenergy 64
Backhand: Donic Acuda S1

Question: I don’t know what I should use on Zhang Jike ZLC FL. Tenergy 80 or 64? People said to me Tenergy 05 is better for Zhang Jike ZLC FL. Thank you

Answer: Hi Pedro,

With the Zhang Jike ZLC, the Tenergy 05 is better for Forehand attacking, and the Tenergy 80 or 64 can be better suited for your Backhand, where you may need more control and spin.

Good luck!
