Outerforce ZLC
An outer-carbon blade for intermediate players, designed with restrained elasticity. ZL Carbon keeps it stable while delivering high reaction speed and a powerful feel.
💡 Who this suits
Good reaction speed, well suited to attacking play, with a sharp, strong feel that suits players with a powerful stroke.
About this product
Reaction 11.3, vibration 11.1 — the two figures sit almost on top of each other.
The Outerforce line is built, as the name says, around carbon on the outside. Everything in it hits crisply and sends plenty of shock into the hand. If you want softness, look at Innerforce instead.
Against the ALC version in the same line (11.4 / 10.4), reaction is 0.1 lower while vibration is 0.7 higher. ZL carbon responds more sharply than ALC — and costs nearly ₩100,000 more.
At 5.9mm, this is better understood as buying clarity of feel rather than power.
What the numbers say
Outer 5-ply + 2 ZL-Carbon plies 5.9mm. Its reaction of 7.5 ranks 25 of 46 blades, mid-range. It is on the stiffer, less flexible side. 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.
