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 soft shots you don't really feel much bounce. But on hard hits, the inner arylate carbon shows itself and gives a solid, springy kick. As far as special-material blades go, the feel is on the softer side, but compared to pure wood blades it's on the harder side. The ball sits on the blade well, so the drive control is outstanding.
It feels like a highly versatile all-around blade, and personally, no matter how many other blades I try, I always end up coming back to this one (lol). It's a blade that gives you real peace of mind.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This blade is above all very stable.
Topspin drives come out low and dig right into the opponent's court. I think it can be used by a wide range of players from beginners to advanced, so why not give it a try?
A harder rubber suits it well!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's hard to put a blade's performance into numbers, but this was a well-balanced blade. You could say it combines speed and control at a high level. That said, without a decent swing speed and impact, you don't really get that firm, springy stiffness that's characteristic of ALC.
The short game and serves feel a bit more demanding than with a wood blade, but you get used to it quickly, so I think wood-blade users can make the switch too.
It's a blade that's easy for anyone to use, but for someone who can't bring out the ALC characteristics, it might end up being wasted potential.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I really care about the feel of the ball, so this review reflects that,
but the feel is very soft and pleasant.
Since it's an inner-carbon blade, when you hit normally you get the feel of the wood surface,
but when you hit hard, it switches to that carbon feel. It's got that crisp "clack!" snap to it.I think this suits players who like to grab and hold the ball more than players who want to blast it away with hard rebound from every rally.
It's also a bit on the light side, so the follow-through feels great.
That said, even though it's light, you don't really feel the carbon's rebound unless you hit hard,
so if a woman or a child is using it, it might be better suited to someone who can hit with real power.For these reasons, moving over from a 5-ply wood blade should feel natural,
but I wouldn't recommend it if you're switching over "looking for carbon rebound."Since the blade itself has this kind of feel, I think pretty much any rubber will work with it.
If you want to fly the ball, go with a high-rebound rubber or max thickness; if you want to grab and control the ball, I'd go with thick or thinner.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I switched from the Swat Power, and I was surprised right away when I first used it. Compared to the Swat Power, the ball comes out lower and flatter. I expected it to bounce more, but it doesn't bounce that much, and it's easier to smash than to put spin on with a drive. I think if the ball flight and arc were a bit higher, it would be perfect.
