The Butterfly Dimitrij Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC FL (Flared handle) is a professional-grade offensive blade that perfectly reflects the playing style of German star Dimitrij Ovtcharov — powerful, spin-oriented, and tactically precise. Built with Butterfly’s innovative Innerfiber Arylate-Carbon (ALC) technology, this blade delivers a softer feel and greater dwell time while retaining the explosive power and stability needed for modern table tennis.
Unlike traditional Arylate-Carbon blades where the synthetic fibers are placed closer to the outer veneer, the Innerforce construction places the ALC layers deeper within the blade. This design results in a softer, more flexible feel with increased ball contact time. The benefit: enhanced control and spin generation, while still maintaining the speed and stability of Carbon reinforcement.
The blade is built with a 5-ply wood + 2-ply Arylate-Carbon composition. The Arylate reduces unwanted vibration for a comfortable touch, while the Carbon provides consistency and enlarges the sweet spot. The FL (Flared) handle offers a natural, ergonomic grip, ensuring confidence and comfort during long matches and intense rallies.
The Dimitrij Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC is ideal for players who combine spin-based offense with precision placement. It excels in:
Topspin Loops: The inner ALC construction provides longer dwell time, making it easier to load heavy spin on both forehand and backhand loops.
Mid-Distance Play: Ovtcharov’s signature style of mid-distance counter-looping and spin rallies is well supported by the blade’s stability and elasticity.
Blocking & Control: Despite being an offensive blade, its softer touch gives great confidence in blocking and controlled counter-attacks.
Short Game & Serve/Receive: The inner ALC placement ensures excellent feel for short pushes, flicks, and spin-loaded serves.
Compared to the Timo Boll ALC, the Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC feels softer and more controlled, with a slightly lower rebound. This makes it particularly suited to players who rely on dwell time, spin variation, and tactical precision rather than pure speed.
