The Butterfly Apolonia ZLC was designed in conjunction with Portuguese Butterfly-sponsored player, Tiago Apolonia. The ZLC plies are placed closer to the core of the blade, which gives the blade a softer feel for more overall control. This blade is best suited for players looking to play dynamic spin shots and those who value control over all-out speed. Tiago trusts the Apolonia ZLC as the ZL Carbon and Innerfiber technology suit his game perfectly. Tiago Apolonia uses Dignics 09C on his forehand and Dignics 05 on his backhand.
Rubber Recommendations
Dignics 09C
Guides your play to a more advanced level. Compatible friction and a high level bounce is realized thanks to the synergy effect between the original top sheet and a rather hard Spring Sponge X. Delivers topspin and defensive play with high amount of spin as well as ease of over-the-table techniques and counter topspin. DIGNICS 09C, with the upgraded friction High Tension features, guides a player who expects the unique feeling of a friction rubber to new heights.
Dignics 05
Guides your play to a more advanced level. The combination of the top sheet with strengthened abrasion and sponge with more elasticity creates great resistance on the surface. For the player who seeks to generate a high-level attacking play imparting powerful topspin, as well as counter topspin play both close to the table and at mid distance.
Tenergy 05
High Tension rubber, and a tacky surface. It is excellent for imparting a great deal of spin on the ball. The most user-friendly of the Dignics line, with high speed and spin capabilities. Very popular among world class table tennis players.
