I've recently talked with a TT veteran who played nationals during his prime and currently selling TT equipments and has a very good knowledge of the equipments.
During the conversation, he told me that ZLC is slower than ALC and ZLC has a much better sweet spot than ALC. Till now I was under the impression that in terms of speed in Butterfly terms ALC < SALC < ZLC < SZLC < T5000. But he said that ZLC has a much better sweet spot, so it feels like ZLC is faster than ALC. But in terms of raw speed ZLC is faster. Then I checked the butterfly blade matrix and the reaction property for all the ALC and ZLC blades is 11.8 and 11.7 and the vibration is 10.3 and 10.8. I know that ZLCs are hard and ALC tends to sink in the vibration.
But in terms of raw speed ZLCs are slower than ALC which means ZLCs have more controllable speed, more sweet spot and more feedback. So ideally ZLCs are easy to control and have a better feeling/feedback than ALCs?

FYI: I'm using FZD ALC and have never tried ZLCs.
