    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The thin blade design delivers exceptional spin and control performance, earning high praise for its ease of use and stability in the front court. While lacking speed and being somewhat heavy, it has strong support from spin-focused players and intermediate beginners.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent spin and control from thin blade (5.5mm) design
    • Outstanding stability and handling in front court and on-table play
    • High versatility - compatible with various rubber types
    • Lower speed performance limiting in back court
    • Slightly heavier weight challenging for beginners
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe thin blade's flexibility creates highly-spun drives with a low arc that penetrate the opponent's court effectively. It's perfectly balanced - best in the front court but still responsive from midcourt, making everything feel just right.
    ▽ CriticalCompared to standard ALC, it's significantly less bouncy. Back court rallies require more effort, and players seeking speed may find it underwhelming.

      Easy to put spin on (Experience: 4〜5 years)

      Player reviews

      Overall it's really easy to put spin on, easy to control, and great for the short game, but I feel like it's a little lacking in power.

      Player reviews

      Most techniques are easy to do
      Even in a rally the ball lands solidly on the table
      Plus, small techniques like the short game are easy too

      tkkkkkkkkk (Experience: 2〜3 years) A blade that's easy to spin with

      Player reviews

      Since the blade is thin and inner-carbon, it's really easy to put spin on the ball. On the other hand, it doesn't fly much, so if you get too far from the table it gets a bit tough. Other detailed techniques like the short game and loops are easy to handle though!

      Takuto (Experience: 2〜3 years) Outstanding stability!

      Player reviews

      Because the blade is thin, it holds the ball well and gets plenty of spin. The power close to the table is more than enough, but once you're away from the table, the speed does feel lacking. So I'd recommend it to players who can handle the ball well close to the table.

      bell (Experience: 6〜10 years) I'll probably use this blade for life

      Player reviews

      I also own the Innerforce Layer ALC, and I've been using Fastarc G-1 (max thickness) as my go-to rubber. When I put it on both blades and tried them out, it was clearly the Innerforce Layer ALC.S that felt more stable and gave more spin. Of course the Layer ALC gives more speed, but since this rubber is already spin-focused to begin with, you end up with spin (rubber) + spin (blade) + stability (blade), giving a feeling of extreme spin combined with stability. Opponents I hit against tell me the ball has amazing carry too. I'd recommend it mainly to players who play from close to the table through mid-distance.

      Nono (Experience: 6〜10 years) As expected from Butterfly‼️

      Player reviews

      An all-around racket that practically says "this is what you'd expect from Butterfly"‼️

      It bounces well yet is easy to control,
      and there's not a single technique that feels hard to do with it.

      LIU (Experience: 6〜10 years) A blade that brings out the rubber's best

      Player reviews

      The blade is thin and light, so it's easy to put spin on serves (personally, I found YG serves easy to do).
      It pairs well with both tacky and tension rubbers, so pick whichever rubber you like.
      Above all, I really like the grip design.
