Butterfly Innerforce AL

This composite blade features a 5+2 construction, utilizing Arylate layers to provide a distinct, elastic feel. It is characterized by its notable flexibility and a slight degree of vibration that aids in feedback, distinguishing it from stiffer composite alternatives. The weight distribution is well-balanced, favoring a stable transition from handle to head.

Playing Characteristics

• Spin and Dwell: The blade is highly regarded for its spin-oriented performance, offering a generous dwell time that allows for precise ball placement and consistency during loop-heavy exchanges.
• Speed and Power: While it offers sufficient pace for counter-attacking from mid-distance, it remains highly controllable during the short game. Players may need to exert more physical effort when transitioning to long-distance play.
• Feel and Feedback: The construction provides a blend of speed and “springy” feedback, which is particularly effective for players who prioritize accuracy and confidence in their shot-making.

Handling and Compatibility

The blade is versatile in its rubber pairing, demonstrating compatibility with both high-tension European rubbers and harder, tacky Chinese rubbers. Note that the flared handle design may feel small for players with larger hands, and the overall construction is noted for its high build quality.
