  • Innerforce Layer ZLC

    User review

    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: Rozena

    Maybe 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.

  • INNERFORCE LAYER ZLF

    User review

    This blade has an even softer bounce and feel than the Innerforce Layer ALC.S.
    I think pretty much any rubber works well with it.
    That said, if a beginner picks max thickness for inverted rubber, I think it'll feel like it flies too much.
    If you want to play a controlled game over the table, I'd recommend this blade.

    Personally, I found the ST handle had a thicker base than the FL and fit my hand better.
    They sell an AN handle too, but I think the grip feel on that one is more a matter of personal preference.

  • FIRE FALL FC

    User review

    Like the title says, I got back into table tennis after a 10-year break, and I finally found this blade.

    I tried it with medium-thickness spin-oriented tension rubbers on both forehand and backhand.
    The rubber thickness might have something to do with it too, but either way, it was really easy to generate spin.
    Not just for serves and the short game - even on awkward shots hit off-balance mid-rally, I could still get the ball to land consistently while keeping the spin. I feel like this blade would really shine playing close to the table in tight spaces like a gym.

    Overall, the performance is similar to Butterfly's Innerforce Layer ZLF.
    If I had to point out a difference, the Firefall FC has a thicker grip, and especially with the FL shape, it gave a reassuring feeling of being able to grip firmly and swing all the way through.

    I'd recommend it for women players too!

  • TENERGY 80

    User review

    My first Tenergy was the 05, but when it was time to change rubbers, I tried putting the 80 on my forehand.
    As soon as I hit with it, I could tell it was a rubber with moderate bounce and moderate spin, with no real quirks.
    In the end, I liked the 80 more than the 05.
    For my own playing style, the 80 on the forehand and the 05 on the backhand suited me.
    Price-wise it's aimed at advanced players, but it's a wonderful rubber that's great at both offense and defense.
    If you're making your Tenergy debut, I think it's good to try the 80 first, then switch to the 05 or 64 later depending on whether you end up prioritizing spin or speed.
    Just an amateur's opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

    User review

    The blade is thin and light, so it's easy to put spin on serves (personally, I found YG serves easy to do).
    It pairs well with both tacky and tension rubbers, so pick whichever rubber you like.
    Above all, I really like the grip design.
