the FRANZISKA INNERFORCE ZLC is a direct competitor to the Apolonia and the solid IF ZLC. I predict a great career for the blade.
Those blades are beautiful, Butterfly outdid themselves.

How come BTY not produce an Inner force with Koto outlayer?

I don't want to hype Butterfly, but they seem like a company who are engeneering their blades/rubbers and not just randomly shooting in the dark or copying. So I would imagine they don't measure a benefit to a koto outer layer.

From these blades only the Ovtcharov seems to bring something "new", with slightly thicker blade.
DHS did it with the newer "X" series, and I think even the Harimoto ALC is a thicker than standard Inner ALC. I suppose Ovtcharov has more raw power compared to Harimoto hence the need for stiffer blade.

Ovtcharov used to use W968, so probably not just another version of Inn Layer alc, but a little more different

As an Apolonia ZLC fan, the Franziska Innerforce ZLC caught my eye. So now we have in that construction:

They have all limba outer. Are core and medial plies made out the same material, no matter thicknesses?

They already have enough IF ZLC blades to start a collection :)

I played a lot with the original slightly bigger IF ZLC and now with the Apolonia. I have no doubt IF ZLC construction is a winning formula for beginner to intermediate club players. Slow enough to learn fine with slower more controllable rubbers all the way to where they want. 

Hypothesis: The top players go more towards ALC the same way tennis pros go with higher tension: since they have strength and speed in reserve, they prefer predictability with higher tension even though it requires more force into the stroke. The tt pro will prefer ALC for the same reason: less dwell, less elasticity gives more control despite the required additional muscle which they do not lack.

Except for the word "Theory" (should be "hypothesis"), I completely agree. This is also - partly - the reason why advanced players use hard max rubbers (which dampen energy, and not generate energy).

LYJ szlc should be identical to ZJK szlc and it should be outer zlc layer.

No worries. Probably the only word that is more misused than "theory" is "historic" LOL

Yasaka Alnade Inner was mentioned in the "New Equipment 2018" topic here and Atletico Power was released in China two years ago IIRC.
