Comparison Sections
Speed
- ZCO OFF/S is the fastest of the four, thanks to its Zyreema outer carbon and “/S” (Speed) design. It excels in quick attacks and fast counterplay.
- VCO OFF is also fast but slightly softer in touch than ZCO.
- ZCI OFF and VCI OFF offer more moderate speed due to their inner carbon layouts, making them better for spin and control-oriented styles.
Spin
- VCI OFF leads in spin potential, combining Voltema carbon’s elasticity with a dwell-friendly inner structure.
- ZCI OFF also delivers high spin, especially on loop strokes.
- ZCO OFF/S and VCO OFF produce good spin, but their outer-fiber construction emphasizes speed and directness more than spin.
Control
- VCI OFF is the most forgiving and precise, ideal for players who value safety and precision in rallies.
- ZCI OFF follows closely with excellent balance.
- ZCO OFF/S has the lowest control due to its speed-first nature, while VCO OFF sits between ZCO and VCI in control.
Feel
- VCI OFF provides the softest and richest feedback with minimal vibration, making it great for touch play.
- ZCI OFF has a slightly crisper feel but remains controlled.
- ZCO OFF/S feels harder and more direct, great for players who prefer instant feedback and power.
- VCO OFF has a medium-hard feel with more elasticity than ZCO.
Price/Value
All four blades fall into the premium category, though ZCO OFF/S may carry a slight price bump due to its flagship-level speed and technology. However, VCI OFF may offer the best value for spin/control players wanting inner carbon feel without sacrificing too much in terms of speed.
Durability
All blades share high-quality construction, using durable carbon fibers and well-finished wood outer plies. Handle comfort, finishing, and structural integrity are consistent across the series.
