About Zhang Jike New Era
Donic Zhang Jike New Era is a 2025 5+2 aramid-carbon table tennis blade made in Germany. It is ITTF-approved, classed offensive (OFF), and uses outer Arylate-Carbon (ALC) just under the face ply — the Viscaria-type recipe: direct, fast, still flexible.
Factory figures: typical weight 86 g, thickness 5.9 mm. Handles listed: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Construction label Outer ALC (5+2 aramid-carbon). Offensive close-to-table and mid-distance topspin is the intended game.
Combined index: speed 90, control 86, stiffness 84 (official mapping 89 / 85 / 83). Outer fibre shortens dwell and raises the first-ball speed compared with an all-wood of similar weight.
Community score 9.0 / 10 from 50 reviews. Indicative European street price €140. Compare Zhang Jike New Era with other outer alc OFF blades on TableTennisReview.

Handles
Handles listed for this SKU: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Handle shape does not change the ply recipe, weight class or Combined index.
- Flared (FL)
- Straight (ST)
- Anatomic (AN)
- Flared (FL)
- The usual European shakehand handle. The flare fills the palm and locks the blade in; it does not change the ply recipe.
- Straight (ST)
- A straight handle is easier to rotate in the hand — the usual pick for combination rackets and some two-wing loopers who change grip mid-rally.
- Anatomic (AN)
- An anatomic handle follows the palm. Same wood as FL/ST on the same SKU; pick it if that shape already fits.
