Very close-up photos: Butterfly ZJK ALC

I took some macro photos of my favorite blade and gotta see the 5+2 plies, plus the clearly porous nature of the Tenergy 05 and Rakza 7 soft sponges. Up close, it's interesting to see the non-uniformity of the wood used in blade construction.

You can see the joint point of the center ply.

nice photos. If you have other blades, please continue

Is it just handle variation or any other differences with TB ALC?

What is even more interesting the the joint is off the axis of the blade. I thought the join runs from the tip of the head through handle. I wonder if that makes a difference :/

What is the blue on the wood, the arylate ? I would i thought that the carbon and AL are more a united thing and not this much distinct. Am i missing something ? Also on the above layer they seem to "adjacent" (one blue, one black, one blue) and on the layer under they seem to be more intricate

yes, the blue layer is arylate.

Just the handle variation and slightly better built and packaging.

The arylate fiber bundles and carbon fiber bundles are weaved together into a sheet. There's a clearer photo of what the ALC sheet looks like on the butterfly site: butterflyonline.com/butterfly-table-tennis-technology/

Thanks! I have a couple other blades. I will try to take and share some photos later.
