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.

Penpen (Experience: ２〜３ years) Let me say... is this the best?

Switched over from the Timo Boll ALC!!
My first impression after hitting with it was... the feel was so good it was like "did my G-1 just turn into Tenergy?" Just tapping the ball put spin on it!!
The serves are insanely sharp too!!
With the Timo Boll ALC, if your form breaks down even a little you get that "pok" sound and the ball comes out flat with no spin,
but with the Innerforce Layer ALC, even a safe, tucked-in drive has crazy spin lol
and it's stupidly easy to lift backspin balls too lol
If you've switched to an outer ALC blade and felt like your spin dropped off, or if opponents say your shots are fast but easy to return, buy the Innerforce Layer ALC and flex on them! lol
My mistakes over the table dropped too!!
Sorry for the long post!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The backhand is really easy to hit with
It's fast, and being an inner-ply blade it flies a certain amount and then drops
A good bladeOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

The Innerforce Layer ZLC is so bouncy that I'm always impressed by people who can handle it well, but this blade lets you get plenty of spin and even with Hurricane rubber on it the flight is just right, making it very easy to handle.

I don't think this blade has any weak point where a certain technique is hard to pull off — it's a solid all-rounder that handles everything competently.
The feel is close to an outer ALC blade, so I think it's perfect for stepping up.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This blade has well-balanced performance and is easy to use.
It's not expensive either, and since it's soft, it makes a great blade for a beginner to buy
and keep using for a long time.
That said, it doesn't have any standout strengths,
so you might start to get bored of it as you improve.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Innerforce Layer ALC (Experience: ４〜５ years) Maybe an all-round blade...!

What's good about the Innerforce Layer ALC
- Feels closer to all-wood, even among carbon blades
- Works with pretty much any rubber
- Looks great!
- Well balanced and easy to generate power with
- Every technique is easy to pull off
- Stops land nice and short
- Fast drives really stick into the opponent's side of the table
What's not so good about the Innerforce Layer ALC
- The arc on drives is a bit flat
- Blocking angle is a little tricky
But I don't think the downsides above are that big a deal! If you prefer a higher arcing trajectory on your drives, using a grippier rubber like Fastarc G1 should give your drives a really nice arc! Sorry for the long post.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Mizutani Shoji! (Experience: ２〜３ years) Insane spin!!!!

I switched from the Mizutani Jun Super ZLC!
Since the Super ZLC is really bouncy, I looked around for spin-focused blades and ended up buying this Innerforce Layer ALC!
The feel when hitting is really good!
If you just hit normally it doesn't fly much, but when you drive hard you get a strong topspin drive with tons of rotation!!! And it can really do everything!
Backhand drives go in consistently and you get good speed too
Serves can be kept short with a lot of bite
And I'd recommend it for players who play close to the table or at mid-distance!
That said, I wouldn't recommend it to beginners. It seems to pair really well with Tenergy.
It doesn't seem to match hard rubbers that well, but it goes great with soft rubbers.
And on top of all that, it looks really cool
The two shades of blue are super coolOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft
