Equipment update

[ginny]

Hello ! I want to update my current setup: Butterfly Korbel Japan + 2 Nittaku Fastarc G-1! I have 2 years experience playing.
I just want to upgrade by 1 step, I don't need super fast blade, because I won't handle with it, and I really want to upgrade from my Korbel. So I think between Harimoto Innerforce ALC and Innerforce Layer ALC.S. What's the difference between these blades? What should I choose, when I come from Korbel?
For my FH I will definitely go with Yinhe Jupiter 3 Asia, I love this rubber, it just feels the best for me (I tried Rakza 7, Nittaku Fastarc, Xiom Vega Pro, Dignics 80, Nittaku Sieger and etc.) and this rubber suits the best.
For my BH I'm thinking between Xiom Vega Europe and Stiga Mantra Pro M. I tried tenergy 05, 05fx, some Hybrids and I didn't like it. I need a bit slow, soft and controllable rubber. what's the difference between these 2 rubbers? They cost the same in my country.

I wouldn’t choose ALC.S…
It’s the slowest and deadest composite blade I have played so far. It has a super thin handle. What you get most of is dead weight. I would instead go for the regular ALC.

Heck ALC.S maybe even slower than your Korbel…

Thank you for!
So it's better get Innerforce ALC or Innerforce Layer ALC?

Regarding the blade options you mention, strongly recommend you read the page at this link and check out figs. 11 and 12 therein:

It's a pretty comprehensive look at them, and includes your current Korbel as reference.

Innerforce Layer ALC or Harimoto innerforce ALC. Look at the specs to which one will fit you better it’s not a huge difference…
