Apolonia ZLC
The playing model of Portugal's Tiago Apolonia. The inner-fiber build combines powerful drives with steady, controlled play.
💡 Who this suits
Good reaction speed, well suited to attacking play, with a moderately crisp feel that works across a range of styles.
About this product
Reaction 10.5 (41st), vibration 9.5. Inner ZLC at 5.7mm.
Its figures are effectively identical to Innerforce Layer ZLC, Harimoto Innerforce ZLC and Franziska Innerforce ZLC. Four blades cluster around reaction 10.5, which shows Butterfly designed this combination to one performance band.
It is hard to find a case for the ₩280,000 price on the numbers alone — Innerforce Layer ZLC is ₩260,000 with the same figures.
Signature models differ in handle shape, weight distribution and appearance rather than performance. If Apolonia’s grip fits your hand, that is the reason to choose it.
What the numbers say
Inner 5-ply + 2 ZL-Carbon plies 5.7mm. Its reaction of 7.0 ranks 37 of 46 blades, on the low side. Flex sits in the middle. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.

Where this blade sits
Reaction and vibration figures Butterfly publishes for 46 of its blades (official 1–15 scale). Further right means more reaction; higher means more vibration. Neither axis is "better" — they describe character. Other brands use different scales and are not mixed in.
