About this blade

Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC is a 7-ply blade built around ALC fibre placed inner, with Limba on the playing surface and a Ayous core. Its TTDNA profile reads fast — speed 76, control 54, feel 46 — with a medium response and medium dwell. Physically it measures 6 mm thick, around 91 g, 157 × 150 mm head, FL, AN, ST handles. Butterfly positions it for off play. Limba: Soft, open-grained outer veneer — long dwell, a wooden feel and easy spin on slow strokes. Ayous: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. ALC: Arylate-carbon — stiffens the stack and enlarges the sweet spot while keeping a wooden feel.

A TTDNA blade rating measures how much of the named characteristic a blade has. For descriptive rows — flex, stiffness, vibration, head heaviness, weight, thickness, carbon feel, softness, technique requirement, spin sensitivity — a higher number means more, not better.
