About Fukuhara Ai Pro ZLF
Butterfly Fukuhara Ai Pro ZLF is a 2016 5+2 ZLF table tennis blade made in Japan. It is ITTF-approved, classed allround-offensive (OFF−), and uses a synthetic fibre other than ALC/ZLC (arylate, glass, PBO-c, Kevlar or similar).
Factory figures: typical weight 84 g, thickness 6.1 mm. Handles listed: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Construction label Fiber (5+2 ZLF). Allround-offensive play that still needs a safety margin is the intended game.
Combined index: speed 84, control 90, stiffness 72 (official mapping 83 / 89 / 72). Outer fibre shortens dwell and raises the first-ball speed compared with an all-wood of similar weight.
Community score 8.6 / 10 from 35 reviews. Indicative European street price €170. Compare Fukuhara Ai Pro ZLF with other fiber 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.
