    Carbon layers are placed closer to the core to provide an overall soft feel without losing the ZL Carbon characteristics such as lightness, flexibility and speed.

      katsuo000 (Experience:More than 20 years) Excellent operability ZLC!

      Player reviews

      I tried striking my own rubber by not using a friend.
      Although it was heavy weight, it was easy to put a lot of rotation on the hand center of gravity.
      It was a shot feeling that the special material of ZLC comes out before when I strongly impacted as reputed. When going for this strong punch, the swing speed felt it needed the speed of special material burr. Light and medium strokes are images of 5 woods, banging is ZLC.
      I do not dislike ZLC's hit feeling, but I felt that mistakes seemed to be noticeable if I bang with a sense of light hit if I did not get used to it. Personally I felt that ALC might be better for comprehension because the difference between ZLC trajectory and ALC's trajectory is not clear level.
      In order to win in the game, I felt it would be a style that Receive and Taizo steadily spin at the inner, and hit hard with a rally in a rally firmly. In that sense I think ZLC is preeminent to usability.
      I thought that I was also the main racket.
      However, I would like to compare it with the inner ALC.

      Orange ZLF No need to worry about wood transfer, this is an excellent racket

      Player reviews

      I'm transitioning from the discontinued Inner Force Layer ZLF.
      The hardness of the carbon is noticeable even with light hits, and it flies further than the ZLF.
      When driving, the carbon is noticeable at a fast speed, and the ball release is just right. With the ZLF, the ball held on too long, resulting in a lot of over-hitting, but the ZLC has been just right.
      I thought the blocks would fly farther, but they actually held on surprisingly well, and the metallic sound is very satisfying. However, sometimes the ball just flies off, perhaps because I missed it, so I think that's also a skill issue.
      Serving is easy, and since I don't serve very far, I can serve not too short, which has made it easier to develop the serve.
      As for tabletop skills, pushing and stopping are a little more difficult than with the ZLF because the ball releases quickly.
      I wouldn't recommend it for beginners, but I think it would be a good choice for those who use wooden rackets and often hold on to the ball too long, or for those confident in their tabletop skills. It's quite pricey, but I think it's definitely worth a try.

      Hina (Experience:4〜5 years) Butterfly + Butterfly is the strongest

      Player reviews

      This is a great racket that produces an arc when hit lightly and produces speed when hit firmly. It's especially great when combined with Tenergy. The ZLC is hard, so it's recommended for those who want to use the power of the racket to hit the ball farther!

      child (Experience:4〜5 years) Good racket

      Player reviews

      It's a good racket. It has just the right amount of bounce and is easy to control, so it seems to go well with any rubber. I think it's a great racket for those who like it.

      Table tennis coach Ishitsubute (Experience:11〜20 years) A dream racket that fits any manufacturer's rubber.

      Player reviews

      This is the racket I am currently using.
      Details of the racket I use: Weight → 93 grams Grip → FL
      Basically, I don't like the feel and ball retention of special material rackets.
      I've tried various rackets and this is the only one I was able to use.
      Why are we currently using it?
      It bounces quite a bit and has great ball retention, so it's pretty easy to control.
      As for ball retention, the ball retention is so good that I think it sticks once.
      It gives the impression that the harder you hit the ball, the more it curves into the opponent's court.
      For me, loop drive is quite easy.
      By the way, it is recommended for players who use double-sided back software, but it is especially recommended for those who have a different type of rubber on one side (soft surface, variable surface, grain height, anti, 1 piece).
      The heterogeneous aspect changes considerably.
      It is a racket that is worth trying out once.
      I can't change from this racket for the time being.

      Ryusei (Experience:6〜10 years) As expected from Butterfly

      Player reviews

      A feeling of fit that feels like you are holding it,
      speed, control
      Everything is of high quality.
      inner force series
      I didn't expect it to be this good.
      There is no need to get confused with other rackets.
      In the Inner Force series,
      If you can try it out, that's enough.
      From beginners,
      I am good enough to participate in the national tournament.
      This is the best racket.

      don't know (Experience:2〜3 years) A racket that combines the best of wood and carbon

      Player reviews

      As the title suggests, this racket is made of wood.
      A racket that combines the best parts of carbon
      is.
      The feel of the ball is soft and similar to wood, and the ball spins.
      It will take.
      However, if you hit it hard, the speed unique to carbon
      A metallic sound is heard.
      A racket with the feel of wood that bounces like carbon.
      Highly recommended for those looking for it.
