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.

On the forehand it draws a nice clean arc and produces good speed too. It handles mid-distance play with room to spare. On the backhand though, if you're using short pips, the ball flies further than expected when you flick it, so you get more overshoot misses compared to an all-wood blade, but the power is more than enough. Flicks and pushes are both very easy to do.
I don't think you'll regret buying this!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's really easy to put spin on the ball, but with max-thickness rubber on both sides it came to 185g, so without swing speed you can't get the maximum amount of spin. Still, in terms of how easy it is to generate spin,
this is hands-down the number one blade I've ever used. Control in the short game is also good, so I'd recommend it to rally-style players who keep a steady stream of drives going.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The first time I used it and hit lightly, I thought it might not have much bounce, maybe because I'd been using a 7-ply blade before, but when I hit a drive it came out fast with plenty of spin!!
And it was insanely stable too, which surprised me.
The short game also goes in great if you brush it thin!
I think it might be tough as a first blade, but for someone who's played table tennis for a few years, it becomes a really good blade.
If you can make solid contact, it performs on par with an outer blade.
That said, you can still lose out in topspin rallies against outer-blade players, but that's something you can overcome with skill!
It might not suit players who back off and play from away from the table...
But it's easy to use for pretty much anyone, and I think it gets even better depending on the player, so if you're torn on which blade to pick, start with this one!!By the way, pairing it with Tenergy 05 was amazing.
Sorry for the long post.

The Innerforce suits any playing style. Whether it's the short game, a drive from a bit off the table, or a smash, the performance leaves nothing to complain about. That said, if you're a fairly strong hitter, the ball can fly on you a bit. If you can adjust for that, I think you can really get strong with this. I'd recommend it once you've been playing for about 2 years.

This is a real all-around blade. You get both spin and speed. The short game is easy to play too. You can still hit even if you back off the table a little.
That said, it suits players who play a fast-paced game close to mid-distance, but it's not for people chasing one big powerful shot. Well, it's a blade that brings out the rubber's characteristics, so I think anyone can use it. It does still produce power. It's a blade that reflects your own strength well.
Everything is above average, it produces power, it works with any rubber, and it's easy to use...
If you're torn on which blade to pick, I'd recommend this one since it has no quirks!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I've been using this ever since I started table tennis in my first year of junior high!
The spin and speed feel just right, it doesn't bounce too much, and it makes all kinds of techniques easy to pull off. The feel on contact isn't too hard or too soft either — it grips the ball nicely, and depending on how you hit it you can really put spin on the ball, or hit powerful drives and smashes. Basically, it feels like an all-wood blade with a bit more bounce.
I honestly didn't know much about blades at first and just picked it by looks... but once you get used to it, you won't want to put it down!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This is a blade with an inner arylate-carbon layer.
Board thickness is 6.0mm. I was surprised at how good the meet/impact feel is. Since it's an inner blade, you still get good spin, and it doesn't fly too far, so it's easy to keep the ball on the table.
Compared to an Inner ZLC, my impression from multiball to all-around play is that swinging all the way through feels just right! It's a blade you can commit to fully even in tight situations, like when you're off balance or attacking a ball right at the edge of the table. The ball leaves the rubber a bit quickly, though.Power drives close to the table, smashes off a loop, and blocks all leave a good impression. When you back away from the table the shots don't travel as far and tend to land a bit short; if you try to hit deep, the arc comes out high, which feels like a bit of a disadvantage.
