Apolonia ZLC Blade with Dignics 09c Rubbers

The Apolonia ZLC Blade is engineered for players who want control without sacrificing aggressive potential. Named after international star Tiago Apolonia, this blade uses ZLC fibres positioned closer to the core via Innerforce Layer technology—delivering a softer, more responsive feel whilst retaining the precision and punch ZLC is known for. It’s the ideal choice if you’re seeking a blade that balances spin-dynamic performance with a controlled touch.

Paired with Dignics 09c rubbers, this combo brings genuine versatility to your game. The rubbers feature Spring Sponge X—a more elastic advanced sponge—combined with a uniquely formulated top sheet that grips the ball excellently at impact. The result is exceptional compatibility between friction and bounce, delivering the high-tension feel you’d expect from a premium Butterfly friction rubber. Pimples code 209 supports heavy topspin, defensive play, and over-the-table techniques with authority.
