About Innerforce Layer ZLC-S
Butterfly Innerforce Layer ZLC-S is a 2019 5+2 inner ZLC table tennis blade made in Japan. It is ITTF-approved, classed allround-offensive (OFF−), and uses inner Zylon-Carbon (ZLC) beside the core — speed of ZLC with a slightly softer first ball.
Factory figures: typical weight 85 g, thickness 6 mm. Handles listed: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Construction label Inner ZLC (5+2 inner ZLC). Allround-offensive play that still needs a safety margin is the intended game.
Combined index: speed 86, control 88, stiffness 78 (official mapping 85 / 87 / 78). Inner-fibre blades typically feel a little rounder than the outer-fibre equivalent at the same speed.

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.
