Review of Andro Treiber ZHigh-quality offensive wood. This is where Andro started to make the transition to the premium quality brand. It's a pity that it is no longer produced in this form. Thicker than average composite wood, good stiffness and stability for all coverings. The hinoki upper cover gives a soft feel, which is why it has very good control, it stands out among attacking rackets, much better than the butterfly Ai Fukuhara or the Innerforce ZLC, which I also tried. I definitely recommend it if you still manage to get it.

Review of Andro Ligna OFFGood offensive wood. Due to the carbon insert, it is quite stiff and hard, very easy to control. Beautiful and high-quality workmanship. Thin handle even for small hands. Overall, it is worth buying in this price category, but it is no longer produced in this form

Review of Andro Temper Tech ALL+Quality work at the Andro brand. Despite the hinoki top layer, it is a bit hard, but very precise to play, excellent control. Good all+ speed, but only with a hard sponge. Too bad they don't make it anymore. I recommend it to all-round players.

Review of Butterfly Fukuhara Ai Pro ZLFBeautifully crafted Butterfly wood. The limba top layer gives a little softness during play. The zlf layer improves control, but it's not as good at it as many people here appreciate. the Donic, Nittaku, Andro rackets are much better in this regard. Medium attacking wood, the handle is a bit thin. overall nice work .No longer in production.

Review of Butterfly Innerforce ZLCThe inner construction gives a little better control, but it is not outstanding either. Average attacking racket, but quite expensive. In this category/Zlc/ Treiber Z is a much better choice. However, it is good to play with both soft and grain

Review of Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALCOne of the thicker btfly woods. Due to the inner layers, it feels softer, but it is quite stiff and stable. It can be controlled very well, and it is fast enough for attacking play. A little faster than the Apolonia ZLC and softer. Highly recommended for varied attacking play. Harder covers work well on it. One of the best woods I've ever played with. My backhand cover is dignics 09c.

Review of Donic New Impuls 7.0It is an extremely controllable off wood. Due to its thickness, it is quite stiff and stable for all soft coverings. However, it has a soft surface, so it becomes unstable with long grains. A hard sponge is recommended for attack.
Handle with a very good grip, sophisticated workmanship, well done Donic

Review of Donic Waldner OFF World Champion 89t is a relatively thick, therefore stiff wood. Spruce Spruce Zylon-Carbon (ZLC) Kiri Zylon-Carbon (ZLC) Spruce Spruce composition. A good offensive tree, well controlled, internal structure composite. Faster than what was written on average. Relatively hard surface therefore 42 or 45 degree sponges go with it. For hard sponges, 48-50 degrees requires good technique. It is well worth the price in the ZLC category. nice work.

Review of Dr. Neubauer PhenomenonMuch faster than what has been evaluated here so far. Good all+ or even faster. It is 9 mm thick, which gives it excellent rigidity, which is why it is easy to play with it with a granular cover. With a soft cover, it is easy to spin and attack. The control is exceptionally good, with the right technique you can hit where you want, I say this with respect to about 25 tested trees. 7 layers of pure wood, which is not visible due to their beautiful covering. A racket with a good grip, which is relatively cheap. I can only recommend it, it's worth the price.
Review after 3 months: All+ near the table, lower speed further away. It is a light wood, so for attack you need a heavy and thicker covering, otherwise there is not enough pulling power, especially for backspinning. It is very good for all-round offensive play close to the table, for those who don't spin much, but rather hit and block.

Review of JOOLA FeverThis is a fast wood. Faster than most of the alc used today. It is relatively stiff and hard, so it is more difficult to control. Compared to its price, it is a good tree. The meriolate layer is directly under the outer, which is why it feels harder.
It is no longer manufactured.

Review of Nittaku S-Series S-CZNicely crafted high quality wood. Worthy of the name Nittaku. It is a little slower than it has been evaluated so far, but with a harder cover, it is a great offensive wood. his management is above average. A small vibration can be felt during an offensive blow, which is not disturbing, but rare for composite wood. It can also be played very well with a grain covering. It is one of the more expensive woods, but it is worth the price. I can only recommend.

Review of Yinhe Z5 VFThis is my first Chinese tree, but it is not a cheap 20-dollar product, it is sold for around 80-100 Euros, and it shows. It has 5 layers, each layer of wood is hinoki and 2 layers of basalt. The hinoki is about 1 mm or thicker on top. That's why the wood is stiff and soft, it feels extraordinary, and because of the basalt, it is very flexible compared to carbon. This tree seems slow when tapped, but in the game it speeds up and is much faster than what was written here. Really good attack with hard covers, 48-55 degrees. The control is outstanding along with the speed.
