NIKAIDOU (Experience: 6〜10 years) Ultra-light blade — outer power with an inner-like feel

This is amazing.
I'm using the lightweight 81g version, and it manages to combine bounce with that grabbing feel while still giving you plenty of feedback on contact and making the ball easy to control.The closest comparisons would be inner blades that lean toward outer-type performance (like the Arylate Inner or Innerforce ZLC), but personally I feel more bounce from this one than from those. Also, compared to a typical inner blade, it's easier to use a whippy, flexing stroke (the kind of stroke you'd normally use with a thin-ply outer blade).
It really is the best of both inner and outer worlds. On hard shots, if you focus on the flex you get a heavy ball that keeps carrying, while if you focus on driving through the ball you get a fast, quick-off-the-blade shot - you can freely switch between the two.It's lightweight, high-performing across the board, and has a fresh feel to it. Since you can use so many different strokes with it, I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone at intermediate level and above.
Also, because it supports so many different strokes, consciously switching between them might let you add even more variation and changes of pace. This is definitely a blade I'd want everyone to try at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It bounces well and the control is decent too.
But the feel on contact is simplistic.
As a product, it feels like it lacks maturity.
I still think Butterfly is better.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I had the chance to try the Altius Inner, Combo, and Outer versions, so I'm writing up a review.
To cut to the conclusion, out of the three, the Combo was clearly the easiest to use.Speed: Outer > Combo = Inner
Spin: Combo = Inner > Outer
Control: Combo > Inner > Outer
Feel: Combo > Inner > Outer
All three versions are on the lighter side in weight.The Combo gives you a solid feel on contact, and you get a real sense that you're the one controlling the shot.
Despite that, it still bounces well and seems to carry some weight behind the ball too.
I put the fairly hard Hybrid K3 rubber on it and the pairing felt great.
On the other hand, when I tried Vega Europe, it didn't bounce as much as it does on a 5-ply blade, so I think it pairs better with a harder rubber than a soft one.
It's not a blade that bounces like crazy, but I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a blade that bounces while still keeping a good feel on contact.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Rosena Yaryan (Experience: 2〜3 years) Best of both worlds

I use Rozena on it and it's really stable.
It doesn't kick like an outer blade - it's as stable as an inner blade.
That said, the ball flies on a different trajectory than an inner blade would give you.
Because of that quirk, it can be a bit hard to get the ball to really pop off, so I use the semi-tacky Rasanter C48.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
Recommended rubber (Forehand) ROZENA
Recommended rubber (Backhand) RASANTER C48
