Butterfly Dimitrij Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC

I've been playing with Ovcharov's the blade since it hit the market. I chose it after research and the need I had for my playstyle. Before that I played with Timo Boll ZLC. My blades on both sides were Tibhar evolution MX-P max. Excellent combination on both blades. I did not like the vibration when driving with the ZLC, and the Ovcharov blade with its thicker structure completely eliminated this drawback for me. After over two and a half years of playing with the Ovcharov blade I can say that it is an extremely well balanced blade with a very good feel and great power and speed. After seven years of playing with Tibhar evolution MX-P max rubbers, I combined the blade with DHS GoldArc 8 H47.5 max, which give much better spin than the MX-P, and are almost identical in speed and feel. So the combination of this great blade with these DHS rubbers is perfect for me. I wouldn't trade this blade for any other! You can't go wrong if you try it, it's worth it for sure.

Unbelievable Blade

Similar to the Boll ALC with better touch

Controllable speed with a nice soft touch for ball placement. Very explosive and violent when powering the ball. Outstanding when blocking. Good at pushing, flicking & opening up. Using medium hard rubbers and the blade performs very well. Weight leaning a little toward the head of the blade. Good at looping, smashing, drop shots & kill shots. Best Butterfly blade I've used in a long time and it is designed for the modern game with a good amount of weight and size (keep in mind that flared handle blades weigh a tad more than straight handle blades). Weight equals more power. Flared handle fits in your hand and feels very comfortable (not to big or not to small but just right). Blade is very nice looking and well designed with top craftsmanship. Need good skills and technique to handle it (not for beginners). Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

Very nice new inner-fiber blade from Butterfly. Blade weight is a little heavy coming in at 96 grams (flared handle more weight) but the weight isn't noticeable because it is well balanced and the weight helps in the modern game because the 40+ ball is a little heavier. The gorgeous blade can be as powerful as you want it to be depending on the rubber used. I applied Tibhar Evolution MX-S Max on both sides (heavier hard sponge) and the blade weight is 204 grams now. The flared handle is very smooth and comfortable. Great touch and feel. Ball placement comes easy as long a proper technique is used. Blocks very well and counter-attacking is good. Good at top spin, pushing, and open-ups. Gorgeous blade comes in a very attractive box. Give it a try.
