The Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC.S blade was designed for players that value high-spin attacks with exceptional control. This blade is ideal for players that want to execute 3rd ball attacks as well as opening the rally from incoming underspin. Utlizing Butterfly's Innerfiber technology, the Arylate-Carbon plies are placed next the center ply, increasing feedback in the handle and maximizing control and spin due to the longer dwell time. Since this blade isn't as fast as a traditional ALC blade, you can get away with going with faster rubbers. Butterfly Tenergy 80, with a medium throw angle and a great balance of speed and spin, pairs wonderfully with this blade. For those that seek blistering attacks, Dignics 80 and Dignics 64 provide killer looping ability while still maintaining command of the placement on passive shots. 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.
