The blade is thin, which makes it easy to put spin on the ball. I never expected Butterfly to release such a thin blade. This blade has a flexing feel that sends the ball flying. Because of that, I'd recommend playing close to the table. If you back away from the table, it won't fly the way you want. Also, if you're used to a harder blade, this one might feel too soft to use well. Still, it doesn't change the fact that it's easy to use. Why not give it a try?

I used to use the Timo Boll ALC, but I wanted a slightly softer blade, so I bought this one.
This blade has great control, and I found it easy to drive backspin balls.
In topspin rallies, if I hit with a solid stance, the ball went in almost every time.
Overall this blade is really easy to use, but if I had to point out a flaw, the vibration in the hand took some getting used to, and I found the "pock-pock" sound it makes a bit disappointing.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I played table tennis back in middle school, and I'm starting again after 14 years.
I bought and used the Innerforce Layer ALC, but I thought a slightly softer blade would be nice, so I got the ZLF.
My stability went up, and this blade suited me better.
(The ALC was also easy to hit with and I had no real complaints, but if anything, the ZLF felt easier for short-game techniques.)In terms of power it might feel a little lacking, but at my level, this blade — with fewer mistakes and more consistency — suits me well.

How easily you can lift backspin balls is just crazy. Just a light upward swing sends the ball back with a huge amount of spin. That lets you set up an easy, powerful strategy where the opponent's block floats up and you smash it. And the short game is also super stable and goes in well. On the backhand, people who like to meet-hit might find it a bit awkward, but if you put solid spin on the ball it goes in well.
In conclusion, this blade is the best.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Everyone's reviews rated it so highly that I decided to buy it. It's a fantastic blade.
The speed I was worried about actually comes out quite well once you put your own power behind it.
The spin is overwhelming, and it's easy to change pace. It also pairs well with short pips, just like someone mentioned in a comment, so I put short pips on my backhand.That said, it might not suit players who rely on meet-hitting. I think its selling point is topspin drives. My overshooting mistakes went down when playing against choppers.

I have long pips glued on, and for an attacking shakehand blade, the long pips hold the ball really well and drives fly nicely. The blade is thin, so it feels a bit odd at first, but once you get used to it, it's a really good blade. The price is a bit high, but it's worth it.

I'm currently using this blade actively, and the short game (flicks, chiquita, stops, etc.) is really easy to do, letting me attack first❗This blade doesn't have much speed/bounce, so I make up for it on my forehand with Rozena. On the backhand I use G-1, which gets a ton of spin (really easy to spin)❗Also, when I loop a push off backspin, I get a lot of spin, which makes it easy to lift the ball. Overall I found it a well-balanced blade. So I'd recommend it for topspin-drive players like myself who want to take the initiative and attack.
