Outerforce Series The series offers three distinct blade types, each catering to different playing styles and preferences, providing players with various choices to suit their needs. Outerforce ALC (Blue Handle) - The ALC fibers in this blade provide a characteristic spin-oriented touch with increased dwell time compared to their hardness. This unique feature of the Outerforce ALC Blade not only intrigues and excites players but also gives them an edge in their game, allowing for more precise and controlled shots. Outerforce CAF (Red Handle) - A stiff carbon layer is designed for fast repulsion and speed. Outerforce ZLC (Yellow Handle) - Softer Carbon plies to enhance touch and ball feeling. Why Outerforce? The Outerforce series is strategically positioned between entry-level blades and advanced ones like the Viscaria or the Innerfiber Series. It's designed to bridge the gap and help you transition to the next level of your game. The Outerforce is recommended for players who have mastered their entry-level blade and are looking to step up to the next level. The Butterfly Outerforce is an excellent option for those who find the high bounce of traditional Outerfiber blades difficult to control or for those who want more bounce compared to Innerfiber blades. The Outerforce offers a balance between these two extremes, providing a moderate bounce that is easier to control than traditional Outerfiber blades but still offers more bounce than Innerfiber blades. A lightweight, relatively low-density wood material is applied to create the Outerfiber blades with a lower reaction. This series is an ideal choice to gain the advantage of enhanced stability for players who sometimes felt that traditional Outerfiber blades were too speedy. The artificial fiber layers directly under the surface veneer give a more energized touch.
