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.

This blade feels really good.
I think it's more of a fast, snappy blade than I expected.
Personally I like to hold the ball a bit, but for me the ball leaves the rubber a bit too quickly.
I felt like drives tend to fly with a lower arc overall.That said, when it comes to the short game it shows crazy power and is also easy to use.
The only thing is, with my level of skill, flicks, backhand flicks, and chiquitas tend to fly off somewhere completely unexpected if you mishit them slightly, so once you get the hang of that, this blade fears nothing close to the table.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

No complaints about control or spin. But the speed is slow, so speed drives and smashes might be a bit hard to pull off. I'd recommend using max-thickness rubber to boost the speed. Also, it's a bit heavy, so it might be hard to use if you don't have much swing power — in that case thick rubber would be fine too.
Still, it's very easy to handle and the spin is good, so I don't think you'll regret trying it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I've put on all kinds of rubbers — Fastarc S-1, Fastarc G-1, Xiang Long — and they all suited it! It's more of a close-to-mid-distance blade.

Switched over from the Jun Mizutani ZLC. Overall it's a really well-balanced blade.
It handles any technique competently, without any standout strengths — a blade that prioritizes stability.
When you hit hard, you get a proper composite-blade bounce, so it doesn't feel lacking either.
A blade that beginners and intermediate players can enjoy using too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I made this my first carbon blade.
Compared to a 5-ply all-wood blade, you get insanely more spin,
so when you hit a loop drive it almost never comes back long.
However, while topspin rallies and drive-vs-drive exchanges are easy to do, it was hard to put the ball away in one shot.
So I think this is a perfect blade for players who are good at topspin rallies and drive-vs-drive play.
If you're on the fence about switching to carbon, definitely try the Innerforce Layer ALC.

This blade can do everything. You can keep the ball on the table whether you're close to the table or at mid-distance. I'd recommend pairing this blade with a hard rubber. I don't think you can go wrong using it, so definitely give it a try at least once.

A blade with nothing to complain about. Since switching to this blade, pushes, drives, smashes, chiquitas, and so on have all become easier to do. If I had to name one complaint, it would occasionally fly just a little too far. If you're torn on what to buy, I don't think you'll regret picking this one.
