Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC

Its probably the best blade when you want to attack with high spin and speed, but still dont want to loose out on controll. Especially great for players who have a good base technique and want to grow with a faster blade.

On my humble opinion it has even greater control than an allwood blade. Simply because there are 2 layers of wood over the alc carbon layer you have a better feeling right before hitting really hard.

I personally use the Donic BluefireM2 on both sides and still have the feeling the spin is not crazy, which is completely fine for me. It still feels really easy to open up the game with it.

The handle is indeed really short, as mentioned here before, but still thick enough imo.

The speed again is really good but nothing crazy like a Fan Zen Dong ZLC. Compared to an allwood blade its still really fast.

And thats what this blade is. Its not the best at any of those points but is really good overall with great control. This probably the best blade for amateur players who are maybe in their 2nd - 5th year.

A great blade from Butterfly. I personally love the feel of this maginificent blade.
It's speed is great, nothing crazy but enough to hit killers.
The spin is quite something to talk about too, it has a good balance between being stiff and being flexy, but it has just enough flex to provide great deals of spin (with correct technique of course).
The control is also one of the greatest traits of this blade, being not so quick and responsive, it has a good amount of control.
The feel is the best part, it has little vibration, but just enough to feel it.
Its durability is fine too, have been using it for a few months now and up to this point no signs of being used (even after some small throws ).
The handle is quite comfortable and big enough. Some people complained being too small, but I think it is okay (for mid-sized hands). Also I like the blue colors it features and the logo is also something really cool.
Only thing I can mention as a drawback is its price, isn't it a bit overpriced? Of course, it shouldn't be a problem, because we usually don't replace blades as often as rubbers, but still its price is a little bit too much, in my honest opinion. On the other hand, if you care about that and look after that properly, it shouldn't be a problem using it for years before having to replace that with a new one.

Essence is, it is a great blade, if you need speed, spin, control and feel, you get this. No regrets. I don't think I will change this one, ever.

If you love the feel, dwell, and control of a limba/ayous wood blade but also appreciate the increased stability and sweet spot of ALC then this is the blade for you.

The cool thing that Butterfly did with the Innerforce layer blade is they placed the ALC layers deeper near the core of the blade. That results in more sensation and feel from the 2 layers of limba contacting the ball with increased stability and accuracy for blocking and hitting as well as power away from the table. Comparing it directly to an all wood blade its short game is great and controlled but when you swing hard that's when the ALC kicks in providing an extra boost.

Slightly slower than a Viscaria or Timo Boll ALC but with better control, feel, and sensation. The only thing I don't like about it is it has a thinner handle. I actually had a friend customize it with a big meaty Tibhar Force Pro black handle and now it's perfect. Great blade.
