Butterfly Apolonia ZLC – Tiago Apolonia’s Model

The Butterfly Apolonia ZLC is the signature blade of Portuguese star Tiago Apolonia, already trusted in international tournaments. Built with Innerforce Layer technology, the ZLC fibers are placed closer to the core, giving the blade a softer, more controlled touch while maintaining the precision and punch of ZL‑Carbon.

This design makes the Apolonia ZLC ideal for players who want the spin‑dynamic qualities of ZLC fiber combined with a softer feel. It offers excellent speed, stability, and dwell time, making it a versatile choice for offensive players who rely on spin and control.
