Customer review for Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC - Chinese Penhold

External Review for Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC on January 13, 2026

Using this blade for 1 and a half years on very regular basis and lately as my main blade. Short game it feels like an all wood touch and when you engage the wood with more power or mid-distance the carbon activates and you get that nice click sound and feel of other carbon blades. The blade gives me max control and feel, similar experience I had with the Timo Boll ALC but softer in touch. It pairs well with medium hard to hard rubbers. It will balance the arc then. The speed is less then other similar carbon blades but you will get control in return which helps with placement. Still definitly no beginners blade. You still need some skill, experience, feel and technique to get control and max out of this blade. Weakpoint becomes the speed when you play far away from the table. The speed will be less and you are vulnerable for counterattacks if you dont compensate that lack of speed with your own power. Mid-distance and certainly close to the table you wont notice any speed difference compairing to other similar innerforce alc blades
