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 doesn't have much bounce if you just tap the ball normally.
But if you swing through it properly, it packs a surprising amount of power.
So it's a new kind of blade that lets you have both control and speed.
If you really sink the ball into it, the spin you get is pretty impressive too.
The feel off the blade is great as well.
I wouldn't recommend it for players who stay away from the table, though.For rubbers, I'd recommend Fastarc G-1 or a tacky rubber on the forehand.
For the backhand, Rasanter V42 or V47, which have been selling like crazy lately, are a good match.
If you put a bouncy rubber on the forehand, it kills the whole point of this blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

On stops and pushes it doesn't bounce much, but on hard hits it bounces back nicely -
it's an excellent blade that's made of special materials yet still lets you put solid spin on the ball.It's extremely well balanced, so it suits all kinds of rubbers, and the feel changes depending on which rubber you pair it with,
so I think it's a blade that intermediate to advanced players of all kinds can keep using for a long time.
Put another way, you could say it doesn't have much of a distinct quirk or character,
but a blade this capable, with such high performance across the board, should satisfy a lot of people.I had a friend who's used a 5-ply wood blade for 10 years try it, and he said it felt close to the feel of wood.

I switched from a beginner-level 5-ply wood blade to the Innerforce Layer ALC. If you're not used to carbon blades, I think the short game will be trickier than expected at first and you'll struggle a bit. I have C-1 on it, and both the arc and the amount of spin are excellent. There's also a decent amount of speed, making it a very well-balanced piece of equipment. People chasing pure speed might find it a bit lacking, but overall the Innerforce Layer ALC is a really high-quality blade.

Overall, the balance is excellent and it's very easy to use.
The short game is very stable. Chiquitas are extremely easy to pull off.
It also grips the ball well and lets you put good spin on it.
In mid-distance topspin rallies, you can hit through without being overpowered by your opponent's shots.
Personally, I'd recommend the FL handle.
The thinner grip makes it easy to switch between forehand and backhand.
I also really like the design.
Please do give it a try, everyone.
P.S. I think Butterfly's Tenergy series and Nittaku's Fastarc G-1 pair well with it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The feel is amazing and the control is outstanding.
Even push shots have real impact!
A low trajectory is its distinguishing feature.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Both my forehand and backhand drives got good spin and carried well - really nice. Smashes also had a great feel and left a very good impression!
