The Innerforce Layer ZLC offers a completely new experience by combining ZLC Carbon technology and Innerfiber construction.
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.

Kyohyo Neo 3 Ultra Turbo (Experience: ４〜５ years) Bounces way too much, lol

This is an excellent blade. Since it's a normal weight, you can swing through it fully. It's a combination that lets you take a full, solid swing on both forehand and backhand. That said, the ball flies off quickly.

I made the following change.
(Before)
Blade: Infinity (STIGA)
Forehand rubber: Genesis M (STIGA)
Backhand rubber: Sriver
↓ ↓ ↓
(After)
Blade: Innerforce Layer ZLC
Forehand rubber: Rozena
Backhand rubber: RozenaMaybe because the total weight went up by about 15g, even when I wanted to hit a drive,
at first all I got was late swings and I couldn't handle it properly……As I kept using it, I realized that instead of forcing a powerful swing,
a swing that makes use of centrifugal force suits it better,
and after that I was able to hit powerful drives consistently."The better a blade flies, the more relaxed your swing should be" —
this blade let me really feel what a senpai from my club days once told me.Also, compared to the Innerforce Layer ALC,
the deciding factor for me was that I like the sound it makes on strong shots better.
ALC goes "pachiiin!" while ZLC goes "pakiiin!" —
I like ZLC better because it has more of a metallic ring to it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

On light shots, I got that gripping-the-ball feel on forehand hits, backhand, over-the-table shots, and drives. The extension and weight of the ball is exactly what you'd expect from an inner ZLC! On top of that, the ball rises nicely, giving excellent stability.
I recently compared it to the Arylate-Carbon Inner, and the inner ZLC blade itself is slightly heavier, with a harder feel that produces a good ball, but I thought it would be harder to master. In my own experience, the inner ZLC and the Arylate-Carbon Inner produced equally good balls.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I'm using V15 Extra on my forehand as a stand-in for Tenergy 80,
and V15 Limber on my backhand as a stand-in for Tenergy 64.Combined with the softness of the blade, even harder rubbers become easy to use.
You can feel the spin catching on the ball right through your hand, so you can play on instinct, which feels great.What's especially good with the V15 Extra combo is the counter!
Even when your form is a little off-balance, you can still drive a sharp ball straight into your opponent's court.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I thought this is a blade that lets you hit with a real sense of gripping the ball.
On strong shots you get speed, but on normal shots the speed isn't that high, so I think it's a blade that makes it easy to generate spin.
It's also on the lighter side, so it's easy to swing.
Since light shots don't produce much speed, stops are easy to pull off.
When you hit hard, the ball still flies well even from away from the table, so I felt this blade works for players whether they play close to or far from the table.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

You can attack with the kind of stability you'd get from a 5-ply wood blade. It holds the ball well, letting you hit clean drives. The short game is also easy since it doesn't bounce too much. You can play table tennis with a stability that barely feels like carbon at all. When you hit flat, you get a ball that feels just a bit more carbon-like. That said, the price is quite high. Unless you have a strong preference for this blade specifically, I'd recommend other blades.
I'd recommend this to players who are good at high-arcing drives with lots of spin.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I was using a Timo Boll ALC before, and the first thing I noticed after switching was that this one is way softer than the Timo Boll and the ball really sinks in. Also, partly because the Timo Boll was light, this one felt somewhat heavier by comparison.
My overall impression: it's the ultimate blade — stable, yet still able to produce powerful, good balls. Everyone should definitely give it a try!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
