This blade was designed for Tenergy or some other tensor rubber from the last generation. If you use weak rubber, your bat will suffer from a lack of power.
This blade is not an OFF blade, but rather an ALL+ to OFF- blade. The blade does not have a catapult effect like Viscaria.
This blade is very flexible, possibly due to its soft outer wood and hard, responsive middle layer. This combination gives the ball a catapulted effect, making it slightly unpredictable. Hitting the ball with the blade’s tip causes significant flex, resulting in a high ball angle. However, hitting the ball in the sweet spot amplifies spin significantly, by over 40%, at the expense of some speed.
This blade outperforms the Butterfly Viscaria in terms of counter looping and looping. It enables easy spin under looping, counter looping, and short ball placement. However, smashing with this blade is not recommended due to its insufficient power and inconsistent drive capability. It is most suitable for players who prioritize looping above all else. The blade performs exceptionally well for the short game, especially near the table.
Recommended rubbers for this blade include Tenergry 05 and 25, which provide slow but highly spinny play. DHS Hurricane 3Neo and other looping rubbers are also effective with this blade.
PLEASE READ!
I have just bought this blade and I am still awaiting its arrival. Some of you may be wondering why I am writing a review. Well, I intend to give you guys an insight as to why I chose this as my next blade.
Currently (and for the past 3 years), I have been using the Primorac Classic. This blade is best for beginners! Why? Because it has helped me build the foundation of proper strokes, touch, and feel! I felt that it was time to advance to a faster blade, but nothing too fast like some of the other offensive+ blades, because I feel that I am not ready to use them.
So, my main reasoning was to find a blade that still offered control, but slightly faster than the Primorac Classic I have been using. You can even compare the stats of both blades using this website’s database and you’ll find that they are fairly similar, Innerforce AL being slightly better. I will write another review after using this blade with the Yasaka Rising Dragon rubber.
