Customer review for Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC

Review by jwxujerry (Verified Customer) for Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC on January 14, 2024

I have been using Timo Ball ALC for a few years. It found TB very fast but the control is really difficult. It's hard for me to receive serves, and it is very powerful so much that I made a lot of errors in attack.
I bought this Innerforce two weeks ago with exactly the same rubber that I used before - 09C - for both FH and BH.
My BH game was immediately improved a great deal. My partner said this blade had done wonders to my BH game. It's hard to describe. I just hit BH with much more confident and higher success rate.
In a game, I can play really effectively close to the table, and my receive, push and block all improved. The feel of the racket is very close to my previous wood racket, and it's noticeably more power than Nittaku Violin. For my FH, I found that I need to open the racket just slightly compared to TB. It's a very easy transition (3-4 practices), and it's better since when you open the racket, it's less likely that you will hit the edge of the racket or miss.

Overall, althouth I only used it for a couple of weeks, my game improvement is noticeable. I wish I had switched long time ago. This racket is for those who like wood rackets, and who can't handle the speed and power of carbon rackets like TB. What's the point of using a powerful racket if you cannot even put the ball on the table. This racket will be my main racket from now on.
