Friendship/729 Z-2

Got 2 other 729 alc models and a yellow klc advance blade ,pleased..wanted a cheaper limba, limba carbon outer plys one like my bty primorac, and clone mitzutani zlc, which are soft for looping with high dwell time.. Found this blade on par. Its great to learn to loop with..im a rph looper, found the thick 6.8m tung core more hollow ,less springy than the later kiri cores, but very gd control, solid feel. Actually hand sawed thru the thick core length wise , pva glued blue/ blk klc from AliExpress, only 20aud a metre. Very improved sweetspot..ive used the same for other 20dr yinhe n4, n6 limba face blades, with gt results..takes 5 days to dry out , try Araldite nxt time.. Need to seal it with light veg oil ,and 2 coats laquer, as finish was dry . Similar feel to a mono fibe dhs pg13 ,or wang hao .. Mercury 2 bkhnd , boer sriver 40dg felt okay, as both light , overall abt 190gms for thick core. Going to use this as a stable training looping blade..when i went bk to my dearer 729 and bty clones, i had extra wrist strenght.. recommend u get one ..for the price, abt 25 Australian drs..its the best value, lower price limba blade , other than n6 pure wood ,around. Update . Added kev/carbon weave clothe, with vulcanising glue, wax paper on top side, fnhd much firmer, even bkhnd no vibs..chp upgrade mod to a hurricane 5 blade. Still has the high dwell touch .

This blade uses the limba/limba/soft carbon with kiri core struture which is reasonable for anyone that wanted to try moving to fiber from all wood blade. - Low power: Z2 is a bit bouncy when playing at low power, gives enough vibration although the feel is dull. - High power: the blade has a certain bite & release feel like HL5 but less less crisp. The arc created is stable and safe during topspin rallies

I think this blade made for long pipe or the Fast&Hard ruber only. When you choosed LP it will to slowly but when you choose the fast&hard ruber you'll got a good control. Now am use LP Stiga Sculpture BH and Stiga Radical SP it can make more confused to you opponent.
