Butterfly Innershield Layer ZLF Blade

The Butterfly Innershield Layer ZLF is an exceptional blade for players that want a soft feel with a ton of control. This semi-large blade has 2 ZL Fibers next to the middle ply, creating an incredible amount of feedback in the handle that results in game-changing touch. These soft ZLF plies give players the ability to absorb their opponent's attacks with ease and continue to apply pressure with perfectly placed balls, especially given the big sweet spot that reduces mishits and errors! Modern defenders and choppers alike will revel in all this blade has to offer. The Innerforce Layer ZLF is a great option for players that use a combination racket, utilizing both a smooth rubber and a pips out rubber to further befuddle their foes. Given the high amount of dwell time this blade has, one can generate silly amount of spin with Butterfly Dignics 09C, the newest rubber in the Dignics line. With a tacky top sheet and a harder version of Butterfly Spring Sponge X, players can generate unbelievable spin with the new technology and really make their opponents work for every point. Players that enjoy confusing others with long pips should consider either Butterfly Feint Long II or Feint Long III. Feint Long II was designed to enhance the effect of long pips-out rubbers, maximizing when the pips are easily bent & deformed by reaching the aspect ration limits set forth by the ITTF. Feint Long III, designed for the aggressive chopper, features a softer more flexible top sheet combined with a softer sponge. Reaction: 5.5.
