Our Innerforce Layer series offers the new experience of “holding the ball”. The artificial fibers are applied directly above the wooden core, keeping the original fiber characteristics of the blade, but providing a softer touch which translates into an improved, controlled feeling in all situations.
Innerforce — More ball feel. More spin. Precise carbon quality.
In Innerforce blades, the composite fibre layer sits deeper in the wood — directly over the core veneer rather than immediately beneath the surface. This deeper fibre position creates a longer ball contact time, more tactile feedback and makes it easier to generate rotation. Innerforce blades play with similar precision to their ALC or ZLC counterparts, but noticeably softer — a more natural playing feel without compromising carbon quality.
What is the difference between Innerforce and regular carbon blades?
In Innerforce blades, the composite fibre layer sits deeper — directly at the core veneer rather than beneath the surface (Outerfiber). The result is a longer ball contact time and more tactile feedback. In playing feel, Innerforce blades resemble all-wood more than classic carbon, while retaining carbon precision and consistent bounce.
Which playing styles suit Innerforce blades?
Innerforce blades suit offensive players who prefer rotation-rich topspin play and a more natural feel than classic carbon blades. The longer ball contact time makes generating rotation easier — ideal for variable topspin sequences and controlled offensive play.
What distinguishes the different Innerforce models?
The series is available with: Innerforce Layer ALC (balanced), ALC.S (lighter), ZLC (more speed), ZLF (between ALC and ZLC), Super ZLC (maximum speed). Stronger fibre = more speed — always with the typical Innerforce playing feel.
Which rubbers pair best with Innerforce blades?
Tenergy 05 or Tenergy 80 are classic pairings. For more spin with high control: Dignics 05. Players switching from all-wood start gently with Rozena or Glayzer.
What is the difference between Innerforce and Outerforce?
Outerforce has the fibre directly beneath the outer veneer with reduced speed. Innerforce places the fibre even deeper — even more natural feel and more ball contact time. Innerforce plays softer than Outerforce.
