    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as an outer carbon racket that balances offensiveness with ease of use, supported by a wide range of players from beginners to advanced. Multiple reviews emphasize the importance of rubber selection and adaptation period.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent speed and power from outer carbon construction
    • Outstanding compatibility with sticky rubbers
    • Optimal balance of ball retention and stability
    • Easy to handle and adapt to even for beginners
    • Performance adjustable through rubber selection
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe power of outer carbon and ball retention from ALC create excellent hitting feel. It offers both aggressive power and stability with good balance, making it an ideal all-around racket.
    ▽ CriticalDifficult for beginners to handle, with overly thick grip unsuitable for players with small hands. Initial excessive speed causes frequent over-hitting mistakes until adaptation.

      I switched over from the Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce ALC. Since it's an outer blade rather than an inner one, I thought the ball would come off too fast and be too flying to control, but that turned out not really to be the case — I actually found it to be a fairly stable blade. When you get a full, solid swing in, the speed is overwhelming, but if you don't swing through properly you'll get flat, straight balls with no spin, so you need to swing faster to compensate.
      As for serves and receives, if you hit hard trying to put heavy spin on it, the ball flies off. But when I caught the ball thin to add spin, or lightly touched it for a stop, I was able to keep it low. I think fine touch in the short game is going to be pretty important with this blade.
      I put Tenergy on it, and since the ball comes off fast and it's bouncy, tacky rubber works well with it too. Compared to an inner blade it flies more, but it doesn't feel too out of place, so I'd recommend it even to people trying an outer blade for the first time. I also personally like the grip design best out of all the outer ALC blades, so I plan to keep using this one going forward.

      It was my first outer-type blade, and the ball really jumped off it.
      The compatibility with tacky rubber was outstanding as always, and even my flicks had solid spin on them. Recommended for anyone using Chinese rubber.

      Player reviews

      This is just great!!!
      I never felt like anything was missing!
      It pairs really well with fast rubbers, and personally I got along great with Dignics. It also holds the ball well, so even backspin balls come off with good quality and really skid on the opponent's side!!!
      This is honestly the blade I've been looking for all along — seriously recommended for intermediate to advanced players.
      I really want people to try this.

      The grip is different from the Viscaria and the Zhang Jike — it feels a bit thinner.
      The feel on the ball is, for better or worse, the same as the traditional ALC blades.
      That said, a lot of the units seem to run heavy, so if you can swing it, I'd recommend going with a heavier one.

      The blade uses arylate carbon, which already feels like an established, proven material, so for better or worse it's not much different from existing products.
      That said, the grip is thicker than the Viscaria or the Zhang Jike, and I found it easier to hold.
      Also, I get the impression that a lot of the individual units are on the heavier side.

      Player reviews

      I pre-ordered it and it arrived today, so I tried it out right away.
      It's seriously easy to play with, and the design looks cool too.
      It feels similar to the Viscaria.
      You won't regret buying it, so give it a try!
