Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer
Question:
I’m interested in the butterfly innerforce layer ALC and the butterfly Tomokazu harimoto ALC . Comparing them on the butterfly website they seem to have the same composition of veneers . The only difference being the Harimoto blade has a marginally larger head size. Please compare and contrast the playing properties such as speed, spin and control of these two blades . Please assist me in making an informed decision in choosing between the two blades. Which of these two blades will better suit looping away from the table?
Answer:
This Ask the Experts question was answered by Coach Cherry Zhao. She is a coach at California Table Tennis in Rosemead, CA. Coach Zhao’s response is as follows:
Hi Akhil,
I would recommend you try the Tomokazu Harimoto ALC.
The Tomokazu Harimoto ALC is faster and more powerful than the Innerforce Layer ALC. The Innerforce Layer ALC is softer and a little bit slower.
If you like to stay far away from the table, then the Tomokazu Harimoto ALC will be the best choice for you.
Best of luck!
