Butterfly Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce Super ZLC

The Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce Super ZLC blade presents a unique fusion of cutting-edge technology and superior craftsmanship, designed for players seeking high-speed performance without sacrificing control. This seven-ply blade is composed of a precise arrangement featuring limba and ayous woods, interlaced with ZLC (Zylon Carbon) materials. The integration of these advanced composites results in a blade that not only excels in speed, rated at an impressive 9/10, but also offers commendable control with a score of 8.7/10.

Weighing in at 91 grams and measuring 6.2 mm in thickness, the Harimoto Super ZLC is positioned as a medium-weight blade, providing a balanced feel in hand. Its moderate flexibility, rated at 5.6 in stiffness, allows for an engaging playing experience, where the blade can absorb energy during strokes while still repaying it with speed. Players have noted the Super ZLC’s responsiveness in quick exchanges and its capability to support various offensive styles, making it well-suited for aggressive play.

For those considering alternatives, the Harimoto Super ZLC competes closely with blades such as the Butterfly Viscaria and other ZLC models, offering distinct advantages in terms of spin and touch. However, some players may find that it requires careful selection of rubbers; for optimal performance, it has been suggested to pair it with slower, more controlled rubbers, as faster sheets can compromise its generally excellent dwell time. Whether you are looping, flicking, or engaging in counter-attacking play, this blade promises a sophisticated experience that combines beauty, agility, and advanced technology in table tennis.
