I've touched on this in a few other threads, but felt like it deserved it's own dedicated thread.
Harimoto (love him or hate him), is likely to be a dominant force of table tennis over the next 20 years or so.
Butterfly being Butterfly, are likely to tag along for the ride, and make the most out of his name - Which is understandable!
The first ever Harimoto signature blade is due to be released on April 1st 2019, costing €140, which as I've said previously, seems very "cheap" for Butterfly.
All the signs point to it being a slight modification on the standard Innerforce ALC - The difference potentially being the thickness of the blade.
Butterfly have even gone out of their way to give it a different spot on their blade matrix (see below).
So, a few questions that are likely to pop up over the next year which I thought we could answer now, and refer people back to this thread.
Feel free to add any more questions along the way.
1. What is the advantage of Innerforce over "outer layer" ALC?
2. The Harimoto Innerforce has a 158mm X 152mm "oversized" head size (vs the conventional 157mm X 150mm), what are the advantages and disadvantages?
3. Why are upcoming players not using ZLC, or why do the top players not switch to ZLC if it's supposedly better?
If you think of anything else, feel free to ask!
