Review of Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALCGreat blade for allround play. It's great with inverted rubbers with medium hard sponge, you could play short and soft or could make fast and powerfull top-spins and flat shots, I think it's because of ALC layer is under 2 layers of not hard wood, so you could play softly whithout using ALC layer or easily with slightly more powerful stroke get use of carbon layer and mare a powerfur shot... I even played with long pipms on this blade quite successfully, but with short pimps this blade is just great! Now I'm trying to become full inverted rubber guy and again this blade works great for me!! Thinking of trying Butterfly Apolonia ZLC blade, but it's more for fun actually, because I can't find any faults in Innerforce Layer ALC blade for me! Actually I liked Layer ALC so much, that I have two exemplars of it, one is main, second for experiments with rubbers (sometimes they change places if experiment is successful)!

Review of Tibhar Cedric NuytinckAwesome blade, at least for me... I liked very much Mizutani ZLC blade, which I played previously, it have amazing "feeling" to it, it's just pure pleasure to play with it, but, it have too much speed for me, but I still struggled, tried different rubbers and so on... until I bought Cedric Nuytinck blade... Basically for me Nuytinck blade is very close to Mizutani ZLC blade in terms of "feeling" but it's have less speed and more control, also it's much easier to change gears with Nuytinck blade than with Mizutani ZLC. So I selled Mizutani ZLC and bought second Nuytinck blade, now I have two identical rackets, with one I will be training, with second I will participate in tounaments (just local amateur weekly tournaments, sadly I'm not a very good player...)...
So, will strongly recomend to try this blade to anyone who loves ZLC "feeling" but strugling with the speed of this blades... Another alternative is Apolonia and Innerforce ZLC, but I owned both of them, the innerforce technogy is great, but it makes blades very much not linear, you can get accostume to it, but it will takes time and there might be a problem to find mathing rubber (for me, nothing gets even close to Tenergy 05 on Apolonia), so I swithed from Apolonia to Mizutani, because for me it was better to struggle with speed, than low linearity of the blade... But, now I have Nuytinck blade and so far very happy with it!
