Overview
Butterfly identifies the Innerforce Layer ZLC as an Attack-style, OFF-class blade and lists 5W+2ZLC plies. Its cited page describes ZLC Carbon and Innerfiber construction, with carbon layers placed closer to the core. The same page publishes an approximate 87 g weight, 5.7 mm thickness, 157 x 150 mm blade size, and reaction and vibration figures of 10.5 and 9.5.
Construction and context
ZLC Carbon and Innerfiber are Butterfly’s construction designations for this blade. The cited page describes the placement of carbon layers relative to the core. Those product descriptions and named materials identify the listing; they are not independent evidence of feel, speed, stability, flexibility, or any playing outcome.
Who it may suit
This entry can help a shopper compare Butterfly blade records by their stated ply label, material and construction terminology, nominal weight, dimensions, handle fields, and manufacturer-published reaction and vibration values. It does not establish suitability for a particular assembled racket or player.
Specifications in context
- 5W+2ZLC plies
- This is Butterfly’s published construction shorthand and helps identify the catalogued blade configuration.
- Reaction 10.5 and Vibration 9.5
- These are Butterfly-published comparison fields and are not presented as independently verified laboratory measurements.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- The approximately 87 g figure is Butterfly’s nominal listing value, so individual blade weight may vary.
- Reaction and vibration are manufacturer comparison fields, not universal laboratory ratings.
- A bare blade entry does not describe the final racket after rubber, adhesive, and assembly choices.
Frequently asked questions
Which handle measurements does Butterfly publish?
The cited page lists AN and FL handles at 100 x 24 mm and an ST handle at 100 x 23 mm. Verify the exact offered handle before ordering.
Is the listed weight exact for every blade?
No. Butterfly lists approximately 87 g, so it should be read as a nominal catalogue value rather than a guaranteed individual measurement.
Are the reaction and vibration figures independent tests?
No. They are Butterfly’s published fields and this record does not claim independent testing or a performance outcome.
