Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce Super ALC

Mine weighs 85g and I used it now for 3 months with fastarc g1 and tenergy 19. Used boll alc before but since I didn't like having no feedback and my shots often went long, I decided to switch it up. Tried the normal halc which was okay, but it lacked a bit power and had kind of a mushy feel. The super alc is definitely harder then the halc and the boll alc, I needed to get used to that for a couple of weeks. Contact is much more crisp compared to the halc. When you don't engage, the shots lack power compared to the boll alc. I noticed that when playing passive, especially passive forehand blocks went into the net a lot at first, also forehand open ups with low energy. But when you really engage in the ball, the arc is great and the shot quality is fantastic. Especially the bh with the t19 is the best setup I've ever tried, it is so easy to open up and go for the second or third ball with power. While forehand looping is still better withe the boll alc, it still feels a lot better than the halc. Passive game and blocking is also superb. And I like the little vibration you get, however this is personal preference. All in all a great blade, the best one for my game so far.

86g. Paired with D05 2.1 both sides. Good for counter. Backhand is just amazing (spin, block, short game). It is not super fast at all. Good control in decisive point.

"Feels like your own hand that catches the ball" — that's exactly what a well-balanced inner SALC should do. Fast enough to catapult, but with that dwell time so you can actually create the spin instead of just borrowing the blade's speed. And Zyre 03 both sides makes perfect sense for that spin/flat game — grippy enough to loop heavy, hard enough to punch flat without bottoming out. Perfect combo!!! So amazing.

Didn't liked it from the beginning, mine was 84g, feels too bipolar for my taste, it's harder than the standart Harimoto ALC (wich was 94g) had much better feeling and linearity for me. Harimoto SALC has more power, but the arc is not great, the feel is too muted, and lacks linearity, sometimes bounces too much, other not enough, Super ALC is just not for me, but i know some people that like it a lot. Like on most blades, it's a matter of personal taste.

Exceptional blade, after having tested over 50 different blades among which harimoto alc, harimoto zlc, timo boll zlc, viscaria alc, nittaku acoustic carbon inner, etc., I will definitely keep using it as it checks nearly all the boxes for an allround offensive player.
