Harimoto Innerforce ALC vs Dimitrij Ovtcharov ALC for my new set up?

[ttplayer234]

Hi All, I have got my 2 new rubber Stiga DNA Helix M hardness. People have been telling me it plays very soft so I am at a dilema for whoch blade to buy as if I buy the Harimoto ALC i feel it would just be too arcy and not direct but I also want to mainitain the control of my current blade which is Petr Korbel with G1 both sides.

Harimoto ALC is very soft so with soft rubber you will have a very soft setup overall. Ovtcharov is far harder and faster.

So which one would you suggest?

Both are good blades. Ovtcharov is stiffer and more aggressive (bigger upgrade from Korbel), Harimoto is just like Korbel with ALC in it.

Try the rubbers on the Korbel first.
Then you can decide.
But you might be putting the cart before the horse.
Typically, people will change rubbers much more than they change blades.
Wouldn't it make more sense to find the blade you are most comfortable with first?
And then decide what rubbers to use

I would but I dont want to waste a load of money and also a korbel with these soft rubbers will be too soft.

So which wuld be best for Helix M which is relatively soft
