The popularity of the Harimoto ALC blade was so overwhelmingly positive, this blade technology has been extended to the Super ZLC carbon fibers. The blade is equipped with the Super ZL carbon that provides a higher rebound area due to the larger sweetspot that it has. The Harimoto Innerforce Super ZLC is optimal for attack-minded players that also want control on touch shots. Because of the Super ZLC that is high reaction as well as having a large sweetspot, will create sharp contact on the ball with tremendous overall feel.

The rubber recommendation for this blade is the Dignics 05. For the Dignics line of rubber the 05 has the highest trajectory, and lands the shortest distance on the table. The 80 has the second highest, and lands in the middle of the table. The 64 has the lowest trajectory, and the longest travel path landing deepest on the table. To add more grip to this blade you can get the Soft Grip Tape. It provides grip and comfort to the racket handle. Another great choice for racket care is adding side tape to the blade. It can protect the wood in the event it is hit on the table.

I own all good from many brand blade and still use it . AS new INNERforce super ZLC I must buy to do the reviews by myself. Butterfly is correct about the blade speed is more speed than Viscaria. It is more direct feeling as ZLC usually taste,I still have many ZLC blade Jun M, innerforce zlc,Donic Person and walner 89 Tiago Apolonia etc. the head size is good 158 mm so you can fell the blade is more length than usual 157 mm blade. Mine is ST 86 grams . This blade is very choosy for rubber, if you use 2 sheets dignic as butterfly marketing , this blade will loose the dwell of zlc. Choose the rubber is very personal and depend of your play style. It cost 2 times of Viscaria/ innerforce so it will not much player will use it. Personally it is more easy to play with Viscaria or Apolonia than this blade because you need to buy slower rubber to got the same control amount. I hope this review help, excuse for my english.

A Masterpiece of Table Tennis Craftsmanship: The Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce Super ZLC I am thrilled to share my experience with the Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce Super ZLC, a table tennis blade that truly impresses. As a serious player, I’ve had the opportunity to try various blades, and this one stands out. Outstanding Control and Spin The first thing I noticed is its exceptional control. The Harimoto Innerforce Super ZLC allows for precision and consistency, making it easy to manipulate the ball’s trajectory. The feel is smooth, enabling me to execute shots with accuracy. Spin Mastery The spin generation is phenomenal. The ZLC material that excels at creating intense spin, particularly on serves and loops. My opponents often struggle to return shots laden with topspin, making it a game-changer. Speed and Power While control and spin are highlights, the speed and power are equally impressive. This blade accelerates the ball quickly, allowing for deep, aggressive shots without sacrificing precision. A Small Challenge with Backhand Flicks One minor challenge I've encountered is playing backhand flicks over the table. Because this blade requires significant wrist action for short, delicate shots, it can take some practice to master. However, once you adapt, the rewards are worth it. Durability and Build Quality As expected from Butterfly, the build quality is exceptional. The blade remains sturdy and reliable even after extensive use, and the comfortable handle provides a secure grip during intense rallies. Conclusion In summary, the Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce Super ZLC is an outstanding table tennis blade that elevates my game. Its remarkable control, spin, speed, and power make it a fantastic choice for serious players. While mastering backhand flicks requires some adjustment, the overall performance is incredible

First I will be honest here...I haven't tried this blade. So I gave no ratings to it. Although I did some research into this composite materials that are used to justify a senseless price for a blade. First you should known that none of this fibers are originally designed for table tennis. Their applications include bullet proof vests and thermal insulators given their high decomposition temperature. Zylon particularly is thermically stable until nearly 650°C. Second: we get all discussion about wich fiber is the best ALC, Aramid, Kevlar etc...Here is where it gets even better. Doing my research I found out that Aramid is a general name for a class of fibers in Wich Kevlar itself is included. Then I went for ALC wich would be Arylate Carbon. What I found out is that the name Arylate comes from the chemical group " Aryl" wich is present in all Aramid fibers... so Arylate Carbon is a even more general name and precisely speaking Aramid is also an Arylate Carbon. Actually even Zylon is an Arylate type of polymer. So what are the conclusions? First: These fibers where not (buy any extent of imagination) developed for table tennis. Anyway....brands makes use of them and makes everyone believe that they were specially thought for table tennis. Second: given the lack of knowledge about these fibers they are used to justify high prices. Third: The names they give is a part of their marketing. Also from butterfly description of the "Super" ZLC technology they are a blend of ZLC fibers and carbon (not Zylon type - wich are actually less expensive) that is heated in an oven. This heating process is a common procedure even in textile manufacturers and the mainly function is to diminish tension strength wich prevents the fibers yarns to curl in any mechanical process during the manufacturing. So you pay an extra 2 hundred for this. Finally but not less interesting, with 400 dollars you can get online about 70 square meters of Zylon fiber...Excludes shipping

Nice blade and I've used many Inner-fiber SZLC blades. Using Tibhar Evolution MX-S Max on both sides. Combination offers very nice touch and feel for ball placement with great blocking. Offers accelerated speed when the need arises. Good for looping, flicks, opening up, counter attacking and everything else. If you want a nice quality blade and the price doesn't matter give this one a try and you won't be disappointed. Gorgeous looking blade is well designed with quality craftsmanship. Head size is a little larger and the weight is perfect for the modern table tennis game. Flared handle is almost perfect in every way feels great. Give it a try.

Following are my feedback as compared with JZK SZLC. I have a relatively different style but here goes. I have both setups with MXP50. Harimoto SZLC is softer and holds the ball more. It is a little slower and loops are more spinny. On the other hand, it also is affected more by incoming spin. Control is good. JZK has more power and speed. Punch blocks are better with JZK rather than the Harimoto. Long pips on both are similar but on the Harimoto takes more spin while the Long pips on JZK is relatively insensitive to incoming spin.
