The Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC is the best of both worlds; all the advantages of a carbon blade with the feel of all-wood! To achieve this delicate balance, the Arylate-Carbon fibers are placed closer to the core, creating a softer touch with stunning feel. The ALC plies also dampen the vibration and allow for ambitious play with precise ball placement. Another benefit of the Innerfiber ALC orientation is that it softens the impact, allowing for a longer dwell time that results in more spin and control. If your goal is to stay close to the table, Tenergy 05 and Dignics 05 will give you short, high trajectories over the table and help you exploit sharp angles. For those that want a lower throw angle or like more power, Dignics 64 and Tenergy 64 would be great options to consider. To add more grip to this blade, you can get the Soft Grip Tape, providing grip and comfort to the racket handle. Another great choice to extend the longevity of your racket is adding side tape to the blade, protecting the wood in the event it is hit on the table.
