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.

Hit lightly, it feels like a normal 5-ply all-wood blade. Hit hard, it makes a metallic sound and gives you good speed. That's the kind of blade it is. Also, I think it might be a bit early for complete beginners, but I think beginners can still handle it. If it helps, please use it as a reference!

This is a switch from wood to a special material blade.
At first I figured it would bounce quite a lot since it's carbon, but when I tried it, it had a wood-like feel and was easy to use.
But when you hit hard, you definitely get that carbon bounce.
I'd really recommend this as a junior high schooler's 2nd or 3rd blade.
I have Tenergy on both sides, and you might think that would bounce too much and be hard to control, but the blade itself doesn't bounce excessively, so I can hit with confidence.
It's also a bit cheaper compared to other carbon blades, so please do give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I bought this as my first carbon blade. I had been using a 5-ply all-wood blade up until then, but switching over from that went smoothly. It's an ideal blade in that it doesn't bounce much on light hits, but gives you solid speed when you hit hard. That said, it doesn't have as much speed as an outer blade. It's not quite as much as wood, but you still get a solid feeling of gripping the ball, and it's easy to put spin on. Overall it just feels like an all-around blade, so I felt it's a really good blade I could recommend to anyone.

I switched from a 7-ply all-wood blade, and I was surprised by how good the feel is. The grip is easy to hold, and you can put good spin on drives and serves. I think it goes well with the Tenergy and Fastarc series, Rozena might work too!!
I'd say it's suited for high schoolers and up. Some junior high schoolers on their regular team might be able to use it too. If you have big hands, go with the straight (ST) grip. Sorry for the long post.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I'd super recommend this blade to players who want to move from an all-wood blade to a special material blade, and I think it's an easy blade to handle for both intermediate and advanced players.
I went and bought one myself right away and tried hitting with it. The feel was great, it made a metallic sound. Overall, the balance is good, and you can handle it just like you're using a wood blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The feel is amazing, and the ball release timing is just right too.
I switched from wood to a special material blade, and it puts good spin on the ball and has good speed too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I think it's a blade you can use without any weird quirks. Of course it works with inverted rubber on both sides, and I think it also works with an inverted/pips combo. At first it might feel like it flies a lot, but I think you can do anything with it once you get used to it. As an inner blade, I don't think it's all that different from a 5-ply all-wood blade. It's like a 5-ply that flies a bit more, which I think is nice. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey. The list price of 16,500 yen feels expensive. Other than that, I think it's perfect.
