Equipment otaku A different animal from Innerforce Layer ALC
-
2022/09/14
*This is just my personal opinion.
First off, my impression is that this is a completely different animal from the Innerforce Layer ALC.
Because the blade is big and thick, I felt a strong, resonant snap in my hand. In topspin rallies it let me push the exchange in my favor on both offense and defense. It also has just the right amount of bounce in the short game, so I could play there without any real discomfort.
The tricky part, though, is hitting against backspin. When you're in a solid position to hit, you get a great ball out of it, but if you don't make good contact, the thick blade seems to make the shot either sail flat or bury itself in the net.
Because the blade face is large, the overall weight runs on the heavier side, so I'd recommend it for students or working adults with good power. It's also strong on bounce for an inner blade, so I'd recommend it to anyone who likes to follow a loop drive with a flat hit.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Rath (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Power and ball grip, both at once

Despite being an inner blade, it's thick and manages to combine that with real power on the ball.
I'd always avoided ALC blades because the ball tends to leave the racket too quickly, but this blade really grips the ball.
I think the slightly larger blade size also plays into that grip feel.It's a very well-rounded blade overall, but one thing to note is that the weight balance is quite tip-heavy.
That makes switching between forehand and backhand harder, and I especially felt my backhand blocks were a beat slow in a pinch.
That said, once you consciously use the head of the blade, the power on the ball goes up dramatically, so I'd call this a trade-off rather than a flaw.Given the larger blade size and the tip-heavy balance, I'd recommend using lighter rubbers with this blade. If you put German rubber on both sides, this blade will demand a lot of power from you.

"Ovtcharov! It's out!" — so I bought it right away.
My first impression was that it really flies!! There's not much feedback when you hit the ball, and it felt hard to control.
I felt like my usual Zhang Jike ALC was easier to control. That's probably just personal preference though...
As for the grip, since the blade is thick it felt a bit off at first. I guess that's something you get used to.
The fit around the flared part of the handle also didn't feel as snug in my hand compared to the Zhang Jike ALC.The weight balance is also fairly tip-heavy, so it feels heavy.
This one really comes down to personal taste when buying.Some of this might be down to my own technique, but personally I felt like stiffer rubbers, such as the Dignics series or Hurricane, would suit it well.
If you're the type who likes to put spin on the ball and send it flying, I think this blade is a perfect fit for you.

Ovtcharov's racket is the best (Experience: ２〜３ years)

This is just the best. Both speed and spin were top-notch. The downside is that the blade is wider, so it ends up a bit heavier than a standard one.

The one who took first place in Tohoku team event (Experience: ４〜５ years) Biggest shock since Viscaria lol

First off, I put Hurricane (blue sponge) on the forehand and Dignics 05 on the backhand — in a word, it's easy to use!
It's not something just anyone can handle, but if you've got power, this is guaranteed to be a godly blade lol. In terms of equipment, it's like a Viscaria with better ball-holding! Tenergy would probably pair well with it, but honestly using Dignics feels like the smarter choice lol. Since the forehand is Hurricane, it doesn't get pushed around even by a grown adult's shots, and the backhand is stiff, so if you've got some skill, you can block and spin the ball back without getting overpowered, easily! If you like tension rubber on your forehand, going with a softer rubber from the Tenergy line, or something like MX-P from another maker, might also be good! This is definitely an all-around blade! I also tried 09C — if you like it super stiff that might work for you, but it's not something everyone can use lol. The ball just flies off on its own, which makes it fun! I bet a lot of people end up sticking with this setup!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This is a really nice blade! It's very well balanced. It's fast, but feels great in the hand, and being thicker there's less vibration, so it's perfect for anyone who doesn't want a lot of feedback through the handle.

Even the box looks amazing.
The blade itself is basically a bouncier version of the Tomokazu Harimoto Innerforce ALC, but the grip design is really cool.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
