Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC

The Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC is a remarkable table tennis blade designed for players seeking a blend of traditional wood feel with the advanced technology of composite materials. This blade features a combination of 7 plies, including a limba and ayous outer layer encasing two deeper layers of Arylate-Carbon (ALC). This unique placement allows for an impressive balance of power and control, facilitating an exceptional touch and dwell time while maintaining stability during aggressive strokes.

Boasting a medium weight of approximately 90 grams and a thickness of 6.0 mm, the Innerforce Layer ALC strikes a commendable balance between speed and control, earning high ratings for both attributes. Many users highlight its 9.0 speed rating, which translates into powerful offensive play, coupled with a control rating of 9.3 that empowers players to execute precise shots, making it suitable across various playing styles. The flexibility and hardness ratings (4.6 and 5.2 respectively) contribute to its responsive nature, allowing both spin-friendly loops and defensive blocks with ease.

For those seeking alternatives, players often compare the Innerforce Layer ALC to well-known blades like the Viscaria or Timo Boll ALC. While the Viscaria is favored for its raw speed, the Innerforce Layer ALC is praised for its enhanced control and feel, making it an ideal choice for players transitioning from all-wood blades. Whether you’re a recreational player looking to enhance your game or a seasoned competitor seeking a reliable weapon, the Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC is poised to elevate your performance on the table.
