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.

It was really easy to put spin on the ball. Since it's an inner-carbon blade, the speed performance was high too.

I'm using the ST!
The first thing that shocked me was how easy the backhand is. I switched over from a 7-ply all-wood blade, and the control stayed the same while the power went up!
That said, compared to an all-wood blade, the spin might fall a little short?Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The upside is that you can really put spin on the ball. On the other hand, I feel it doesn't suit players who hit flat. The touch-up off the serve is excellent. Even in long rallies, as long as your swing isn't late you can still get the ball to fly through. The downside is that you can't control it well unless you're solid with your form. I think it's best to use it after you've used the SWAT.

I used it with Rozena thick on both sides, and I've also used Rozena on the SK Carbon and the Timo Boll CAF.
Compared to those two blades,
"it produces more speed."
According to the catalog specs it seems to have a bit more bounce than the SK Carbon, but with Rozena on the SK Carbon or Timo Boll CAF, every short serve ended up turning into a long serve. With this Inner ALC, though, it's very easy to place both short and long shots. In other words, I'd say "the control is really good."
Also, compared to those two blades, "spin comes on easily."
One thing though! The cross-section of the grip is a bit angular, which feels a little off. (This is just my personal impression. Try holding the grip yourself. I use the FL/flared grip.)Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

You can stick close to the table, and you can also grind it out from away from the table. I was surprised at how easy the short game is with this.
Definitely give it a try at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

First of all, this blade has really good balance.
I think anyone can use it well.
The blade's total rating is really high!
But you could also say it doesn't have any standout performance.
Without any standout performance, your own skill really shows through as-is.
So when I'm hitting, I don't get that much of a thrill like "whoa, what a shot!"
So I think some people will find it boring.
Honestly, that's how I felt too.
But I think that feeling comes from a lack of skill on my part — if a skilled player used it, I think every technique would come out stable.
I ended up finding it boring because I lack the skill, but there's no doubt it's a really good blade,
so I'd recommend it to drive players looking for stable bounce.
Please do give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Switching over from the Fire Fall AC, my impression was that it's harder and the ball flies further.
But since it doesn't fly too far, I feel like the power actually went up compared to before.
I don't lose out in exchanges, and there's no technique that's hard to pull off, so I think the balance is really good.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
