Soft woody feel, glassy sound, carbon stability.
Slower than IF Layer ALC by a notch and a bit more linear a bit more flexible (just a bit), visibly faster than Korbel JP (new batch). Great blade for allround spin play. Passive and active playing possible due to enough speed and rebound.
Works pretty well with T05/H3(tuned), great dwelly outers + deeper composite layers.
Medium to Medium-Low throw angle, with high throw rubbers works perfect.
Sweet spot is also great. I am not sure but I can't directly feel the carbon (but there is a glassy ping and stability), this blade vibrates a bit (just a milisecond) but this gives good vision of the ball patch.
One of the best control blade around there (same "can't miss" feeling like TB ZLF/Ai Fukuhara).
I would rate it as lower end of OFF range, not OFF- at all.
Really close to IF Layer ALC but with surely softer feel, bit more vibrations, little slower but dwellier.
I would even not compare this one to Garaydia series (much thicker) hence different playing characteristic (I owe ALC one and they tends to be better at snapping ball rather than spinning it).

What a blade...Uhhh...I used many faimous blades before, like Timo Boll ZLC, Timo Boll Spirit, Nittaku Acoustic, Xiom Stradivarius, DHS MaLong 5, Viscaria, but this blade have the best feeling. Far away is the best of all. Everything works better with this blade. A lot of spin, a lot of control, a lot of gears, fantastic block. Is an amaizing blade. Worth every penny. When i put this blade in my hand... I have a strong feeling of confidence. Mistakes are forgiven with this blade. Every stroke goes in right direction. No kind of errors. It'a a blade who make points. You have a winner senzation with this blade. Paired with Dignics red - backhand, Xiom Vega Pro black - forehand, give all kind of quality performance. This blade is a diamond. Also great and clear unique sound. Also very beautiful. Very good job, layer ZLC.
92 gr FL. Very good with medium soft rubbers, good dwell and control bear-medium distance. Looping Machine, softer and slower than viscaria 87 gr, same rubbers. Little vibration and woody feel. Best blade for me so far. Ventus spin fh and ventus soft bh.
90g. Compare to DHS HL5. Rubber t05. HL5 best for topspin far from table, more to linear trajectory. IFZLC best for medium distance looping, high arc with spin.. Soft ifzlc>hl5. Vibration hl5>ifzlc. Flex ifzlc>hl5. Speed hl5>ifzlc. Spin ifzlc>hl5 for close table loop. Far from table hl5 speed n spin is better. Handle both small. It still a hard blade if compare to any allwood or alc blade. Not for beginner. I have many blade but no one can perform like this one, thin, flex but fast. Soft touch when slow hit but fast enough when hit hard. It will "holding the ball" if u have the skill. High level player that like to fast spin loop close table will appreciate this blade imo. Not a blade for beginner. Heavy price but no regret.
One word for this blade: stable It can basically do everything well. Blocks, serving is so massive your opponent can't believe it. Smash you named it had it all. Close to the table easy to loop, mid distance superb. I don't play to far from the table so can't comment much on this.
For those who want spin, control and safe defence and offense with effortless pressure on the opponent. I liked how easy it was to open and spin and block all naturally without much skill needed. Great blade for just about everything except for hard hitting loops or punchy blocks without losing some consistency. Found it works well with almost any rubber.
Spinny, fast with enormous control , great touch in passive short game, nothing is better than this one. I love how easy you can change space from spinny Looping balls to easy blocks from every area. I think this is funny when you receive and you can block like samsonov, spin like apolonia but at the same time there is no Cons so you can have equipment to your prestige and you will play better . You must give time to play because sometimes this blade little bit change and you get more control in power shots because your timing will change,
The best butterfly blade and probably will be discountined soon. Better buy now than never.

having played with a Joola Fever before, this paddle definitely adds to the speed and possibly also the spin of my shots, but it is and it feels heavy enough to slow my reaction. esp transitioning from underspin to topspin is more difficult with this paddle.
Incredible blade. The perfect balance of speed, spin, and control. Great feel for the ball. I have Dignics80 on both FH/BH - this blade/rubber pairing is like peanut butter and jelly. Strongly recommend this blade for all-around offensive players. I own 6 different blades (Viscaria, Fan Zhendong ALC, Amultart, Timo Boll Spirit, Ma Lin YEO) and Innerforce ZLC is the best of them all.
This is really one of the best for me. It has it all - extra power when need, tremendous control, outstanding spin. Throw is direct and low, very dangerous for opponents. If you can handle the nature and speed of zlc than this blade will became ur best friend :)
Having played Avalox for so many years, BTF Innerforce ZLC comes a bit too quicker, fantastic on long loop far from table, for short returns can try a bit harder and require more techniques. Spin, fast, but need to work on control. Its 1st class of speed and spin, 2nd class of control, well comparing to avalox. The control is said to be good but it doesnt tolerate ur mistakes as much as avalox do. But surely better than average blades.
Nice blade, great quality and pretty good playing characteristics.
Having said that... there is nothing about this blade that justifies the insane price! Innerforce Layer ALC is about $100 cheaper and plays better in all aspects. I can't think of one reason to recommend this blade over a cheaper blade of similar style -- unless maybe you have a fixation with the yellow handle!

I have blade in 90.5g, as always Butterfly high-end blades, perfect production. I played it until now with 729 Battle II on FH and Short Pips (Spectol S1/ 802-40), on BH. I am amateur (4h/week) and control is 10/10. I can do everything with both sides, even "emergency far from table chopping". With good footwork and technique it's the perfect blade for all-round player. I like how it feels, with soft touch I can put the ball near the net, I can play backspin all day very easy. But when I want to attack with full power, is a beast. I played good from first try, I think this blade can be used by everyone with a little experience.
great one, a lot better than harimoto super zlc, franziska zlc but worse than Apolonia and Harimoto ZLC
