    The Arylate Carbon fibers are located closer to the core than with non-layer blades, which leads to a softer touch and stunning feel.

    Arylate-Carbon fibers dampen vibration and allow for dynamic play and precise placement.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly evaluated for smooth transition from wooden rackets, with light shots feeling like wood and hard shots delivering carbon power. Praised as a versatile, balanced option suitable for beginners to advanced players, with excellent rotation, speed, and control.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Light shots feel wooden, hard shots unleash carbon characteristics
    • Excellent rotation application with stable drives and pushes
    • Superior ball retention and consistency on near-table techniques
    • Versatile performance across all skill levels
    • Excellent compatibility with tension-type rubbers like Tenergy
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveI still can't forget the excitement of switching from a wooden racket. Excellent balance. Works with virtually all backside rubbers. A racket that can be used by players of any level.
    ▽ CriticalThe price is somewhat high; the 16,500 yen retail price feels expensive. Additionally, using sticky rubbers causes the carbon's bounce to be diminished.

      wing zero (Experience:11〜20 years) I shunned it because it was too standard, but I regret that I shunned Verified Purchase

      Player reviews

      Using outer ALC, special materials, and 5 plywood, I was crazy about many rackets
      Under such circumstances, this guy was too standard and I didn't want to use it.

      try it out
      I regret why I didn't switch to inner ALC earlier.
      Since I started using this guy, I've been having a lot of fun practicing. Thanks to that, I practice more.

      It is too compatible with Tenergy, and when you swing firmly, you will hear the metallic sound of an ALC racket.
      When applied softly, it almost feels like wood.
      I feel that it is easy to imitate the play of good people. Therefore, you can feel the progress.

      I can see why everyone recommended it.
      Gear you can trust.

      Bisukaria Easy to use!

      Player reviews

      Is hard to technology does not have anything! All is easy to drive, Smash poking block on-units processing. Do you feel that sense of Ali rate carbon is left a little, but I feel that there is also good. In the inner I feel that bouncing is, but there is likely a sense of stability to draw the arc. However, just because you do not mean that for beginners and intermediate users. In fact I am using the Ishikawa. But, the inner force layer series is because it is said to lack the decisive factor, is so even ZLC, but it is recommended to those who want to play in the stability-oriented to attack in the all-round player and before in the team!

      Ordinary person (Experience:2〜3 years) An easy-to-use racket!

      Player reviews

      My first impression after using it was that light shots felt just like using a wooden racket, which made it easy to play!
      Hard shots had incredible speed and spin, and it took a little time to get used to.
      Once I got used to it, I could hit fast, spinning balls to my intended spots, so I think it's a racket I can recommend to anyone.

      Orange ZLF (Experience:6〜10 years) The undisputed king of the inner world

      Player reviews

      At first, I thought it would be stiff because I heard it was made of carbon, but it's actually soft and resonates well in the hand.
      All techniques are easy to execute. And yet, you can produce both fast and heavy shots.
      I have no complaints about using it.
      Don't go against the trend just because it's popular; please give it a try.

      2nd year middle school boy (Experience:2〜3 years) The ultimate in stability

      Player reviews

      I'm using the DHS National Hurricane NEO Blue on the forehand side, and the racket has just the right amount of bounce. While I won't get a truly great shot unless I swing hard, it's easy to put spin on both forehand and backhand.
      It has enough power for rallies in the mid-to-front court and for hitting one-shot winners.
      Also, when hitting half-backspin, I get a great feeling of gripping the ball and being able to swing forward.

      "Zunzundayo" is the nickname the department head gave him (lol). (Experience:2〜3 years)

      Player reviews

      I'm currently a middle school student and have been playing table tennis for about a year, and this racket is really easy to handle. I wouldn't recommend using sticky rubber on it. First of all, it's an inner layer, but it also diminishes the bounce of the racket's carbon, and I felt that it made it difficult to control the ALC material. So, I think tension or slightly sticky rubber is overwhelmingly easier to handle.

    • (Experience:6〜10 years) Classic balanced inner carbon

      Player reviews

      I used the FL88.1G racket. It's extra-thick on both sides, weighing 183.4g.

      I gave up on this racket a year ago, but I repurchased it and am giving it another try.

      I've finally experienced the performance that lives up to its reputation as a universally popular inner racket.

      The bounce isn't too strong, and even when you hit it, it settles in nicely without flying too far.

      The feel of the ball is solid, with a woody feel, and while this may vary from racket to racket, light hits felt softer than the Harimoto ALC.

      Strong hits produce the satisfying metallic feel that's characteristic of ALC, making it easy to tell whether the hit was good or bad.

      The thickness of the racket makes it difficult to block, and the ease of use on the table, typical of inner rackets, makes it less likely to have technical weaknesses.

      Overall, it's a well-balanced racket, scoring about 70 points in all performance aspects.

      Personally, I'd recommend using this racket as the third racket after a 5- or 7-rack racket. If you're a beginner, you'll probably find the feel to be quite hard.
