So the mystery on 9/16 is all about a new pip rubber by Butterfly? I hope there is more.

Video is entitled IMPARTIAL teaser.

IMPARTIAL is the name of two pimples out rubbers, XS and XB.

So far, so easy.

Whether he says anything else about anything else, who knows

So there are more than some new pip rubbers to be released. There are two new blades for us, Innerforce Layer ZLF and ALC.S. A fancy shoes Groovy, and wrap up with some newly designed cases and apparels.

Cool! How will the inner force zlf compare with inner force zlc?

 

[darnner123]

what does alc.s stand for?

As usual, the C is for Carbon. You´ll find a difference between ZLF and ZLC looking at the specs and when playing.
ZLF is closer to all wood feeling, soft touch but great power and easier to play than ZLC, which is more stiff.

How the new stuff performs remains to be seen of course, but generally those would be the major differences.

what does alc.s stand for?

From the text by Butterfly, the S stands for Spin. Combine it with T05 if you pursuit Spin, with T64 if you want Balance. For sale on November 21.

The IFL-ALC.S looks to be thinner than the IFL-ALC. 5.5mm instead of 6.0mm.


The IFL-ZLF is only 5.3mm as well.

The IFL-ALC.S sounds interesting.

OMG....design of the shoes looks terrible. As if the BTY logo isn't well known enough, they put the name (not very subtle) on top as well.

Those shoes are like designed for toddler.

I'm very excited for innerforce alc-s. Definitely changing to it as soon as I can.

What do they hope to achieve by making it thinner?

 

[Shuki]

What do they hope to achieve by making it thinner?

Decreases speed, adds flex. also decreases weight a bit.

the primary reason I use the older model innerforce alc over the innerforce layer alc is because its .1 mm thinner.

They use less wood while charging you more, thus increasing profit.

(edit...joking, obviously)

I wonder if it's worth trying ALC.S given that I have innerforce layer ZLC

if you didn't like innerforce layer alc why try alc.s? you chose the faster zlc blade over the slower alc blade. Why not wait for innerforce zlc-s to come out?

 

[Shuki]

I take back my comment on waiting for Zlc-s to come out. Now I'm doubting they'll make it. The innerforce layer zlc is quite a bit thinner than alc already.

Innerforce Layer zlc is 5.7mm
Innerforce Zlc is 5.6mm

Innerforce layer alc is 6.0mm
Innerforce alc is 5.9mm
