5W+2 ALC · Inner

7 plies · Limba surface · ALC inner fibre · Ayous core · 5.5 mm total

One blade, drawn as technical linework at real shakehand proportions. The laminated edge along the crown and right rim exposes every ply boundary in the stack. Edge depth is illustrative because physical veneer thickness is not published.

Soft, open-grained outer veneer — long dwell, a wooden feel and easy spin on slow strokes.

Source note: The plain Innerforce Layer ALC veneer list must not be carried over: ALC.S uses a different core build.

About this blade

Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC.S 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 73, control 55, feel 46 — with a medium response and medium dwell. Physically it measures 5.5 mm thick, around 88 g, 157 × 150 mm head, FL, AN, ST, CS 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.
