About Zhang Jike Super ZLC

Zhang Jike Super ZLC is 5+2 Super ZL-Carbon, Combined speed 97, control 74, stiffness 86 on this index. Butterfly’s Super ZLC weave is denser than classic ZLC: more kick, less dwell, a higher street price.

This is not Zhang Jike ALC with extra stickers. ALC is the Viscaria-type outer recipe. Super ZLC is a different fibre. Innerforce ZLC is inner fibre with his name on it — a third SKU.

Buy Super ZLC only if you already know you want that stiffness. If the shop is out, Viscaria Super ALC is the current Butterfly spare in a similar speed band, not a clone.

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.
