Butterfly Outerforce ALC ? Opinions - anyone uses it?

[steve888]

Hi,
I briefly had a short hit with the new Butterfly Outerforce alc with dignics 09c as well as TB ALC and spirit. Seems less head heavy very balanced, lighter/ softer and little more control but a little less speed than the TB ALC/Spirit. Has anyone else tried the outerforce alc? Your thoughts? Thanks.

Curious as well. Coming from a Harimoto ALC and currently playing with the Hugo Hal would like to read some impressions.

Did buy one just to test (probably will sell). Did a fast practice today with it and the feeling it gives me is somewhat a Harimoto with less vibrations. Arc is also pretty flat compared to Harimoto or Hugo HAL even.

Outerforce ALC plays exactly as Butterfly says. Slightly slower, softer and "easier" to play than a Viscaria (same weight, 86g). Nevertheless the feeling is clearly outer.

It is fast but not spinny, so playing against players who can block fast shots is tiresome. With my current blade Carbonado 45 i can easily make variations of speed and spin, but i cannot do this with outerforce ALC. It is all speed with enough spin only for the ball to land on the table safely but not disturbing the opponent.

Also Carbonado 45 has a low dangerous arc that makes blocking difficult, Outerforce has medium hight arc that causes no problem to my opponents.

It is comfortable to hold, the handle is a bit thick which i like.
