Szlc vs zlc especially interforce/ (regular zlc comparison also appreciated)

Well I have a itch that I can not cure EJ Disease that spread almost like Covid...
While I am mostly an Stiga man curiosity got the best of me and I started looking into butterfly blades, specifically INTERFORCE ZLC style blades, As Stiga does not have such blade as inner carbon. Does anyone have any information on the diffences between SZLC or ZLC? Any feedback will be appreciated even if it's not INTERFORCE specific ZLC but would be greatly appreciated more information about INTERFORCE... from what I know SZLC is harder, faster, bouncier, less control , more powerful, Has a larger sweetspot and spinner???? Compaired to ZLC basically everything that ZLC has but "upgraded"
From what I heard it is not worth it and much more expensive for something that really isn't worth the price, people say the the SZLC has less control and is more bouncier to the point where you might over shoot over the table due to its qualitys
But the other upgrades in stats is worth the changes from ZLC to SZLC...
Now I am no expert in the topic as I am more acqitted with Stiga than butterfly I need the forums help on this topic as I am in intrested in purchasing the Harimotos ZLC as the INTERFORCE quality does interest me or maybe an ALC but I do think ZLC is more my style of play than a ALC blade of its kind.
Please any input would help on educating me this topic and maybe others to come...:)

This is going to be another one of those """interestin""" threads that can not go anywhere ;););)

So why not get one of those cheap copies and compare it with your Stiga.

You never know , you might buy yourself a "JAW - DROPPER"[h=1]XVT Hurricane LONG 5 ZLC Carbon Table Tennis Blade/[/h]

Haha that is a good point :rolleyes: but this does not really tell me the difference between ZLC and SZLC only how the different carbon aspect would play. You are right in a sense where I can purchase a Long 5 and have a personal feel for inner carbon but I will never be able to differentiate the two types as that is the point :cool:

My favorite website/articles for EJ information regarding blades is ttgearlab.com. It's one of the few websites that focuses on measurements instead of subjective opinions about "feel" and "experiences".

Take a look at this article where they compare measurements for Innerforce ALC vs ZLC. (Keep scrolling until you see the part with measurements for both ALC and ZLC) https://ttgearlab.com/2019/12/10/ho...-innerforce-layer-alc-comparison-by-lab-test/

"Elasticity Primary" (Ep) correlates to the overall speed of the blade. The Ep/Ec ratio helps identify how linear (or non-linear) the blade is. There are also measurements of vibration indicies.


Also here is an older article regarding innerforce blades. https://ttgearlab.com/2018/12/12/butterfly-innerforce-layer-alc-lab-test/

Deff will look into this love a good breakdown past the feeling and more on variables and graphs
