Zhang Jike recommends this new blade to all dedicated players who are attacking but want even better ball control. The Chinese superstar runs a table tennis school in his home country and knows from experience that very fast blades are not the best choice for all players. This is how the DONIC ZHANG JIKE NEW ERA came into being. The core here also consists of Kiri wood and two layers of Ayous. But there is another special feature: not the usual two, but three finely woven synthetic fibers give the ZHANG JIKE NEW ERA an even finer ball feel. The outer veneer layer of Limba, which is slightly softer than Koto wood, as in the ZHANG JIKE ORIGINAL CARBON, ensures even better control. The result is a moderately attacking blade with the necessary power and very good control: DONIC ZHANG JIKE NEW ERA
