Thanks Dario again. The most comprehensive review of the blade on youtube so far. I have just ordered one with straight handle to try. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your contribution. I've been playing the Joola Zhou Qihao 90 with 85 and 87 grams since the beginning of the year. I use rubber on both sides of the Tibhar K2 Pro and am more than satisfied. The blade is fast, but very controlled.
For many years I played with Viscaria, then with FZD ALC which is actually just a slightly improved copy of Viscaria, but since I tried ZQH 90 I find that blade better than both. It's better for me, and I explained why in the video. This does not mean that ZQH 90 will be better for you. If you need a less stiff blade, then none of these three mentioned are a good choice.
Hello Dario. I found the right rubbers for Joola ZQH 90 for me. I have T05 black on bh and Joola dynaryz acc red on fh. I can easily grab the ball on my backhand. Same with fh but acc is a little more crispy. Lots of feedback from the blade. I was using Joola hybrid with T80 both sides before. I also used Trinity with T05 hard both sides. Trinity can produce lots of spin but my setup is too heavy. The hybrid with t80 needs a lot of wrist and swing speed. Joola ZQH 90 with is just so easy to use and the set up is light at 184gms.
great review as always Dario, thanks. A year later, are you still playing with the ZQH Hyper Ary-c 90? It's heavily discounted now, and I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger. I'm concerned it would be too fast and stiff for me, even though reviews say that it has good control and feeling. If I'm comfortable with a FZD ALC, would ZQH 90 be too big a jump? thx for your feedback
No, the rubbers I play with are the same, but the blade is different. I'm playing with Victas Liam Pitchford now. You have a review on my channel. Since that review I have also fixed my FH with it, which was a bit problematic for me. So I am very happy now. The difference between the FZD ALC and the ZQH 90 is not big, but it is noticeable, for the better in my opinion. But yes, the ZQH 90 is definitely a bit faster and if the problem with the FZD ALC is control in active shots, then I would not recommend switching to the ZQH 90. Both of the aforementioned blades, FZD ALC and ZQH 90, are in my opinion some of the best blades you can buy right now, it just depends on whether you like that type of blade.
Hi. This is my first Joola blade that I have tested. I've tried a few other Joola blades, but never with the rubbers I wanted and for a very short time so it's hard to give a precise opinion. Given that I was very pleasantly surprised by this blade, I might decide to buy some other Joola blades.
Hello Dario! Could you compare Joola Zhou Qihao Hyper ARY-c 90 with Fan ALC? Is Jolla more faster and harder? Fan ALC has more dwell time? Perhaps any differences between them?
Hi. During the video, I compared the ZQH 90 with the Viscaria and the FZD ALC on several occasions. I may have mentioned the Viscaria more times than the FZD ALC, but basically everything I mentioned about the Viscaria also applies to the FZD ALC when compared to the ZQH 90.
This Joola is more fun to play than my zjk alc blade. Zjk ALC holds the ball a tad bit more but zqh has an amazing sweet spot and feel for its speed. Very fun to hit with!
The handle is FL. The BH-FH transition is quite good, very similar to Viscaria. I use slightly heavier rubbers, so it's not ideal, but with lighter rubbers it's superb, and with these heavy rubbers of mine, I can only say that it's good 🙂
Both are very good blades, but quite different, so you have to decide for yourself. Trinity has a softer final veneer (limba) and a different type of carbon.
Thanks for your great reviews! I ordered a sheet of H3 Neo National 40 blue sponge for my forehand on Zhou Qihao super alc 90 Do you think this is a suitable combination? If so how many layers of booster should I put on the rubber? (Or how domed up the rubber should be after boosting for the best effects) And also can you compare the tackiness of H3 Neo National 40 BS with Dignics 09c? Thank you!
Thank you. Of course I think that the H3 Neo National 40 BS is a good match for the Joola ZQH 90, because I played the whole season with that identical combination. I only apply one layer of Haifu Sea Moon National White, but it depends on how you like it, but I wouldn't apply more than 2 layers. The H3 used to be much stickier, DHS decided to change to gain speed, some like it, some don't, but compared to the D09c, the H3 is still more sticky. It is not such a drastic difference, but it is still significantly noticeable.
Hi. I haven't had the Viscaria Super ALC in an extensive test to be able to say specifically, but I tried it briefly and I think the Joola ZQH 90 is a better blade. They are very similar, but the ZQH is slightly better in almost everything, and the most important thing is the feeling I have with the ZQH, which I don't have with the Viscaria Super ALC.
Hi. For me, ZQH 90 is better than Viscaria, but that doesn't mean it will be better for you. In the video I mentioned the differences between ZQH 90, Viscaria and FZD ALC.
Hi Dario, are you planning to do some Nittaku stuff in the future? Like the neverending discussion acoustic vs violin or maybe the whole fastarc series? There aint that many “good” reviewers like you that talk about Nittaku unfortunately
Hi. I can't make any promises. I was thinking about reviewing the entire fastarc series, but I've given up for now. I also considered some blade classics from Nittaku and Stiga, but also ended up with the newer equipment.
@@Shylfaen thank you for the support. There is a high probability that sometime in the future I will review some blade or rubber from Nittaku, but now I don't know what it will be. The only thing that is certain is that you can expect a review of Nittaku glue soon ;)
Of course. Why not? If this type of rubber suits you, there will be no problem with blade and their combination. Just keep in mind that it will be a pretty fast combo.
@@DarioGrd I like Hurricane 8-80 on FH, but I am still looking BH rubber with suits me. I think, I'll try Rakza 7 and something from the soft hybrids like Tibhar Hybrid MK, Stiga Hybrid M or something else... Thank you for your videos!!! They are very usefull.
Hello, I have a question. Im using 729 battle II commercial at the moment, and Im wondering if its worth it to upgrade to the blue sponge version, assuming that the differences between orange and blue are the same as in the hurricane series. What do you think? Will I loose control in the short game or in pushes with this upgrade? Many thanks in advance.
Hi. I had planned to, but unfortunately I still haven't tried Battle II in any version, so I wouldn't want to comment on something I haven't personally tried.
@@DarioGrd I see, but from what I read, the difference between blue sponge and orange sponge is the same as in hurricane series, so you can treat my question as "how will changing to h3 blue sponge affect my game?".
@@Brozi In my opinion, moving from the H3 orange sponge to the H3 blue sponge is an improvement. The blue sponge gives more spin, is faster and is generally easier to play with. It is possible that this is all because the blue sponge absorbs the booster better and more aggressively. In any case, I would always choose the blue sponge over the orange one for myself.
I was former Nicaragua national team with three World championship,If you buy zhou qihao 90 then buy exacly the equipment what zhou qihao use 🤔 Dhs hurricane 3 national blue sponge 42 with Dignic 05 and you get perfect blade like me I very happy 🏓

@@DarioGrdDid you tested it with Spinfire ? I play with shortpips forehand (currently with Spinfire) and antispin backhand and I ordered the blade yesterday ! I'm really curious what the results will be 😊 I need a stiff blade for shortpips to smash everything and a hard and stiff blade for antispin to make maximum spin reversal and from what I've seen, this blade looks stiff and hard !
@@KinokoFuuko yes, this blade is stiff and hard and I expect it to be great when paired with short pips. I haven't been able to try it yet, but in 2 weeks I plan to put the Spinfire on and do a detailed review.
Hello brother i am a touch player and want more feeling in my stroke and spin in my shots with speed for long term which blade should i choose joola hyper 90 or 45 one Keep going love from India❤️
Hi. ZQH-90 is quite a fast and stiff blade, so it is not ideal for touch play, but it is possible to play it with a lot of feeling. I don't know what blade you are currently playing with, but for the ZQH-90 speed and spin are certainly not a problem, the only problem you might have is control and feel. I haven't played with the ZQH-45, but as I said in the video, that blade has a limba that is softer than the koto veneer found on the ZQH-90, so it may have more feel.
It's hard to say without knowing a bit about your playstyle and the level you're at. There are many different types of inverted rubbers: hard Chinese rubbers, hybrid rubbers, tensor rubbers... I don't know which one you prefer more. There are a lot of reviews of different rubbers on my channel. Where I explain which rubber is good for whom. Also, on all my reviews, you have a table of ratings from 1 to 10 for different segments of the game, so you can determine which would suit you best based on those ratings.
@@DarioGrd Thanks for your answer. Yea, for me it's little bit heavy. I want to get no more 185 g. I think I need too find light blade around 80-83 gramms and light rubber for backhand.
@@andreikrupets7940 No problem. This blade can be also found with a lighter weight. I know some are even 85g, but they probably won't have the same characteristics as this 90g one.
Thanks Dario again. The most comprehensive review of the blade on youtube so far. I have just ordered one with straight handle to try. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the review. How does the feeling speed, spin and control of this ZQH 90 if comparable with Nittaku Mima Ito Carbon. Thank you
I've never tried Nittaka Mima Ito Carbon so unfortunately I can't answer that question.
Have you tried Super FZD? What are you thoughts in comparison to FZD?
I haven't tried Super FZD
i have bought this blade, i choosed 85 gm version, i wondering is it better to put andro rasanter r48 on fh and bh, or dhs gold arc 8 on fh and bh
Both rubbers will work well on that blade, it all depends on your preferences. Between those two rubbers, I would choose the gold arc for myself.
i didn't see that you mention about handle ? backhand forehand transition ?
