    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated overall, recognized as a well-balanced racket excelling in speed and spin. However, its high elasticity causes overhits and makes touch techniques difficult, making it selective for user skill levels.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent balance of speed and spin performance
    • Superior offensive capability in driving shots
    • Better control compared to other Inner Force models
    • Difficult touch techniques at net play
    • High elasticity prone to overhits
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveCombines outer racket speed with inner force ball control characteristics. Even without careful power adjustment, ball response is not too fast, making overall control easier.
    ▽ CriticalIn match situations where tension increases, excessive elasticity causes frequent overhits. Net play becomes uncontrollable due to excessive bounce.

      I bought two Chinese-penhold blades, both ZLC. I put Armstrong inverted rubber SR42 Asa Extra Thin on both sides and compared the two side by side. As for how far they flew, both had the same rebound power. Surprisingly, the ZLC had a harder, drier feel. I've also used the Jun Mizutani, Zhang Jike, and Timo Boll ZLC and Super ZLC (Jun Mizutani, Zhang Jike) versions, and among those, the Super ZLC flew further.
      The Tomokazu Harimoto Innerforce SUPER ZLC has improved control. And it still retains its traditional spin performance.

      Beginning of table tennis (Experience: More than 20 years) The metallic sound is insane!

      Player reviews

      With light hits, you don't really feel much of that "Super ZLC" (I'll just call it "Super" from here) character. But when you hit a drive, you can really feel how good the Super is. It lands deep on the table and lets you press your opponent. When you do drives or meet-style shots, it makes a loud "kakiin" metallic sound
      and honestly that sound is addictive ^_^ The short game bounces too much and you can't really do anything with it. Scoring out of 10 (all scores below are out of 10):
      Short game: 5 points
      Drive: 7 points — it bounces too much and overshoot misses stand out
      Block: 9 points — doesn't feel like it flies much, feels like wood, and lands deep in the opponent's court.
      Serve: 9 points — has some bounce and grip feel, spins a ton
      Overall: 7 points. Good for someone confident in the short game; if that weak point got perfected it'd be about 9 points.
      It's pricey...

      It really is expensive, so keep that in mind before you decide.

      Paddle (Experience: More than 20 years) The ideal racket

      Player reviews

      With SZLC, the ply thickness is supposed to only increase by 0.1mm, so why has it increased by 0.2mm? & Also, in photos the core wood looked like it was just paulownia, which bothered me, so I went to a shop to check, and I found out what had changed.
      Compared to the Tomokazu Harimoto Innerforce ALC

      Core wood
      Ayous → Paulownia
      Top ply thickness
      0.05mm thicker (0.1mm total for top and bottom combined)

      SZLC is 0.1mm thicker than other materials

      So that's why it ended up 0.2mm thicker than the Tomokazu Harimoto Innerforce ALC.

      Because the top ply is thicker and the core is paulownia, the feel doesn't get too hard, and it still keeps good ball-holding.
      Even compared to the Hurricane Long 5 series, which has a thinner top ply, this one feels softer.
      The average weight of in-store stock is 83g to 85g.

      If you want a lighter one, it's better to buy early, since the weight tends to run heavier later on.

      The feel when hitting is that you get outer-blade speed combined with the ball-gripping feel of the Innerforce series — even when you catch the ball late, it doesn't shoot off immediately, so it gives a sense of security.

      With outer blades the ball releases quickly unless you control your power carefully, so overall this one is easier to control.

      As for the grip, personally I preferred something thinner, like the old Innerforce ZLC or Innerforce Layer ALC.

      ball crusher (Experience: 11〜20 years) The ball hold and speed I wanted

      Player reviews

      I felt it works well with pretty much any rubber.
      Compared to outer SZLC and outer ZLC, it holds the ball better, and it was easier to hit against backspin.
      Even when I stepped back, I could still return the ball with my own spin properly.
      The feel is similar to ALC.
      The bounce is also just right, so it's an easy blade to use at any level.

      guiter (Experience: Less than a year) Great spin

      Player reviews

      I have Vertical 20 OX, a spin-oriented rubber, on both sides, and this blade really does make it easy to put spin on the ball. It flies in a straight line, so I don't lose out in rallies.

      Player reviews

      Borrowed a friend's blade and tried it out.
      Control is difficult. The short game especially was hard.
      That said, when it comes to drives, if you really sink the ball into the rubber, you get some seriously nasty shots.
      Might be good for someone who's seriously trying to get stronger.

      Pad (Experience: More than 20 years) Bounces well

      Player reviews

      Being a Super ZLC, it really bounces. I put max-thickness rubber on both sides and it still bounces a lot. The feel is like an outer ZLC made easier to put spin on. It bounces more than the Innerforce Layer ZLC but less than the outer-type ZLCs, so it's a really difficult blade to place. The feel is excellent, and the control and speed are also excellent. I've been playing table tennis for a long time, but this is the first blade I've found this easy to handle. It's become a blade I can't put down. The price is on the high side, but it's worth it.
