My ALC.s is slow already it may be my slowest blade. The one reason I’m not using it is the heavy weight 95g !

To me is definitely an all blade.

There are two things that do not agree with me: heavy weight blade & slow blade, could be something related to your skills or not right rubbers for the blade?

I do like a slower blade, with a weight of 85-90g, it should have a little flex as well.

Butterfly seems to put the speed of the ALC.s around the same as the Korbel.

It's a thinner version of the Innerforce ALC which is around the same speed or a little bit faster than a Clipper or other sturdy 7ply, it would make sense that the ALC.s is probably about the same speed as most ALL+ to OFF- wood blades.
 
says I like to put heavy topspin on the ball

Its not just a thinner version, its got a different wood composition too- surface and second layer are different in ALC.S. Innerforce Layer ALC also has a thicker core than ALC.S.
