@ artemis: I am not 100% sure the Infinity will give you what you want. It is a good blade. It feels very nice. But it is more similar to the TB ALC blade than the IF ALC blade. So you may not like it at all.

What you could do is get the Infinity, try it. If you like it, great. If not, use it till the Korbel comes in with the handle you want and get that, then sell the Infinity. The resale value should not be too bad.

Or you should just get the IF ALC. both Infinity and Korbel combined cost less than IF ALC. So if you hold the Infinity for a little while and then sell it, it will still be less than IF ALC.

But, you may like the Infinity. It is not quite as hard as TB ALC.

In the end it is your choice. All of the blades you are thinking of are good blades. What would be best for you is the question.

There's a guy in our club that suggests that if I buy Inf. and didnt like it, he'll buy it for like 40-45$. seems pretty great. Ill keep looking for somewhere to buy a korbel FL for like a day, if not I'll just buy the Infinity and sell if I dont like it. Meanwhile I may get lucky and find someone willing to sell a descent second handed Innerforce with a
fair price.

Thank you so much for giving me your time and knowledge

Infinity is a blade with a Limba top ply and a springy ply under it so it is a little bouncy. And in the name, "Infinity VPS with Diamond Touch," VPS is a heating process. One of the things that would do is make the middle ply have more bounce. And Diamond Touch is a hardening process applied to make the outer ply, yep, you got it, harder.

Here:

"The Infinity VPS V with Diamond Touch, with the brand new Veneer Precision System (VPS) technology is built with two hand-selected middle veneers that are treated with a unique and exact heating and cooling process with precisely measured time and temperature. The Diamond Touch technology gives the outer veneers extra hardness and the surface an incredibly smooth finish; combined with the VPS technology the result is an offensive lightweight blade with outstanding solid touch and feeling. Infinity VPS V gives you the possibility to master the key elements in today's modern game: aggressive receives which help you gain the upper hand at an early stage, and the possibility to follow up with powerful and aggressive topspin shots. Developed together with top players from the Chinese National Team, the Infinity VPS V suits the more offensive minded player with powerful topspin strokes!"

You decide if they sounds like what you want or not.

But, in the end, you can't tell if the blade will work for you unless you try it. And if you have that offer, than you can't really go wrong buying an Infinity. It will save you money whether you keep it or not. [emoji2]

Actually I just found a great second handed Innerforce layer ALC with an awesome price. As its not in my city I cant try it before buying. But I heared that the new Innerforce layer is somehow different than the old Innerforce ALC. few people that tried it didnt liked it at all, but maybe they will be having same opinion about the old one too
Is it really different?? Anyone that tried them both??
