Looking for a blade with Innerforce type structure like Butterfly Innerforce ZLC, and with a Squared Straight Handle like Mizutani Jun ZLC ST, Mazunov ST, Timo Boll ZLC ST. Please recommend such blade, if there is any.

What's wrong with the Innerforce ZLC ST? You should be able to make your own fairly straight handle with Sandpaper from that.

I beg to differ. While I can use SQST quite alright, but I prefer RST. It is not really round though, but a bit of roundness on the side. Perfect example will be Stiga ST, Dicon ST and WSC ST.

Back to the topic, the most square ST is Yasaka ST. It is a bit flat though, compared to BTY ST. So, if you are looking for "inner composite" type, then Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon, Ma Lin Soft Carbon and Yasaka Falck Carbon.

Xiom Feel ZX1. Medial play is different, yes, but overall they are quite similar. It's an underappreciated blade and worth looking at it...
 
says I like to put heavy topspin on the ball

The Feel series has been discontinued for almost a year or more now, I think because Xiom has been planning to roll out the new Hayabusa series. Quite nice straight handles on the Feel series though, shame they are difficult to find now

Yup, too bad that they were discontinued. I very much liked the classical design and the understatement they "emitted". The Hayabusa's (both the new and the old series) are a bit too flashy/funky for my taste - perhaps even a bit "childish" (well, it probably only means that I'm getting old...:cry:).
Here and there, though, you will find remaning stock of the ZX1 and the AX for a good price. I might get myself one each before they disappear completely. Years ago I owned a ZX1...and sold it (along with some rubbers); shouldn't have done it.

I do not know if Andro models their handles to certain mold (meaning: same handle across many models). But I have Andro Kinetic Suss ALL+ (straight handle) and the handle is very comfy to hold. Too bad they discontinued that model. It is a good ALL+ hinoki top-ply blade.
