Lately I´m curious about Innerforce type blades (blades with 2 layers of wood before reaching ALC).
I´ve never tested one of this, and wonder how it could be compared to 7-ply blades in terms of speed, control and throw angle.
I know 7-pliers very well, having tested Clipper, Extrem S, Powerplay, Ludeack, among others. I like the control they offer, with a bit of vibration, but wish they were faster.
Can blades lke BTY Innerforce Layer ALC or Hurricane Long 5 give the same control with more speed?
And what about the throw angle, is it higher or lower when compared to 7-ply blades?

depends on the overall stiffness/thickness of the blade? 

I find the butterfly blades (apolonia, Harimoto SZLC, Innerforce alc) to have high throw due to thickness

Yet the YASAKA Alnade Inner, Zabarate all have relatively high throw because it flexes easier (thinner) 

Mainly I choose the innerblades because it takes away the unnecessary vibrations ALL WOOD blades have. Plus feels a little more stable probably because of the carbon

I own an Innerforce ZLC, Harimoto and also been testing another Innerforce ALC. If you think they're faster than any thick 7ply-wood, you'd probably be dissapointed.  These 3 are in the same range of Korbel but a bit stiffer with less vibration but slower than any clipper.

Agree with Jonyer1980, 

Last couple of years I'm testing a lot of inner fiber blades (Apolonia, Harimoto, Inn ALC, Inn ZLC, Rossi Emotion, TPE Fight)

The only one was really fast was TPE Fight, actually it is faster even compared to some outer fiber blades.
