The three Outerforce blades CAF, ALC and ZLC score with their stable bounce, pronounced feel and relatively low weight at moderate speed.

Butterfly Blades · Outerforce Series

Outerforce — Outerfiber power with moderate speed.

The Outerforce series combines the reactive strength of Outerfiber technology with a deliberately moderate speed — for players seeking carbon characteristics but needing more control and stability than traditional Outerfiber blades provide.

Outerfiber means: the composite fibre sits directly beneath the outer surface veneer. This creates a more energised touch — the ball picks up sufficient speed even on slower strokes. In classic Outerfiber blades such as the Viscaria, this results in a very high bounce. The Outerforce series addresses this with lightweight wood material of lower density — reducing the reaction value to a manageable level without giving up the typical Outerfiber character.

The result is a blade that serves as a bridge between entry-level and advanced blades such as the Viscaria or Innerfiber series. Ideal for players who found classic Outerfiber blades too fast, or for those seeking more bounce than Innerfiber blades offer.

Outerforce CAF · Control Assist Fiber

Outerforce CAF

All-wood-like touch with carbon support

The Outerforce CAF uses Control Assist Fiber (CAF) — a fibre that feels almost identical to a pure wood blade in playing character, while carbon support improves stability and bounce consistency.

The CA fibre in the CAF delivers a playing character very close to that of a pure wood blade, while providing higher stability and a more consistent bounce. The Outerforce CAF is the most accessible model in the series — also suitable as a first carbon blade for those switching from all-wood.

Outerforce ALC · Arylate-Carbon

Outerforce ALC

Classic ALC characteristics — easier to handle

The Outerforce ALC makes proven ALC technology more accessible: Arylate-Carbon in a controlled dose for close-to-table offensive play with high stability.

The Arylate-Carbon fibre creates the characteristic balance of spin and speed. Compared to classic ALC blades such as the Viscaria, the Outerforce ALC is less reactive thanks to the lighter wood material — making it significantly more controllable. Particularly strong in close-to-table play — precise topspin and fast counters are supported by the stable bounce.
Reaction value11.4
Vibration value10.4
Construction5-ply + 2 ALC
Thickness6.2 mm
Ideal for: Close-to-table offensive play, players stepping up from all-wood. Recommended rubbers: Rozena, Glayzer, Tenergy 05 FX.

Outerforce ZLC · ZL-Carbon

Outerforce ZLC

ZLC power with controlled stability

The Outerforce ZLC brings the performance of ZL-Carbon fibre into a manageable format — for players who want powerful strokes from mid-distance without sacrificing stability.

The ZL-Carbon fibre of the Outerforce ZLC enables powerful strokes even from greater distance from the table. Despite the higher vibration value (11.1), the blade remains more controllable than classic ZLC blades thanks to the Outerforce construction. The reduced thickness of 5.9 mm delivers a direct, fast stroke character.
Reaction value11.3
Vibration value11.1
Construction5-ply + 2 ZLC
Thickness5.9 mm
Ideal for: Players wanting ZLC speed but needing more control than classic ZLC blades offer. Recommended rubbers: Tenergy 05 FX, Tenergy 80.
