Ask The Experts: Jishan Liang, No. 253

Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Question:  What is the difference between Innerfoce ZLC and Zhang Jike ZLC? Which one is better with my existing setup?

Answer: image004 Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Jishan Liang. He is one of the coaches at New York Indoor Sports Club in College Point, NY. Coach Liang’s response is as follows:

Hello Nazmul,
 
Thanks for your email and this is good question. 
 
First, I want to say that the Zhang Jike ZLC andInnerforce  ZLC are both really good blades.
 
The Zhang Jike ZLC was the first model with Super ZL-Carbon, offering more power and speed. When you are going to play a tournament at a big place, you won’t have any problems.
 
For Innerforce ZLC is high performance model balancing power and control. It is good for when you attack also is good for control. 
 
I will like to recommend you can try both blade, because everyone has a different feeling. After you have tried both, you can compare which one is the best fit for you.
 
I’m very happy to help. If you have any questions please let me know. 
  
Best wishes! 
 
Coach Jishan
