Butterfly and Tiago Apolonia create the new fantastic blade. This is a real beauty.
The elements of Portugal’s national flag are printed on the blade.
Tiago Apolonia ZLC is inner (Innerforce layer technology) carbon which means that it has two soft wood layers ( limba) above the ZL Carbon layer, giving the blade a softer and controlled touch while maintaining the typical ZLC precision and punch.
The crisp connection off this blade is a sensation. Two soft limba layers give the huge dwell time which produces a lot of spin in every stroke.
“The blade has a huge sweet spot”
Apolonia ZLC is suited best for players looking for the spin dynamic ZLC carbon with a softer touch with great control. It has a perfect combination of spin, speed, and control.
