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.

It's really easy to use! Even someone new to carbon blades can use it! It's a high-spec blade where basically every technique is easy to perform! The only downside is that it doesn't bounce quite as much as other carbon blades.

Whether you put a speed-oriented rubber, a spin-oriented rubber, or a tacky rubber on it, it brings out the rubber's performance well, and even with tacky rubber it doesn't bounce too much. If I buy a rubber and it doesn't suit another blade, I just put it on this one for now. I think it's a good choice for your 2nd or 3rd blade.

It's easy to use! Both the speed and spin were very satisfying! I think it's a good fit for players whose style is based around close-to-the-table to mid-distance play!

The Korbel Lovers Society (Experience: ４〜５ years) The blade Ishikawa uses

I saw in Table Tennis Kingdom magazine that Kasumi Ishikawa apparently uses this blade. She's done well with it at the World Championships too, and since I'm a fan of hers I decided to buy it. I had the image that Butterfly blades were expensive, but being able to get this for just over ¥10,000 felt like a pretty good purchase to me.
As I expected before buying it, it feels like a totally quirk-free, all-around blade. My own blade weighed 88 grams for a total racket weight of 182 grams, but maybe because the blade isn't that wide, it felt much easier to swing through than other blades of the same weight.
Basically, unless you're chasing extreme speed, I don't think you'll have any complaints with this blade. Paired with a low-bounce rubber it should work fine even for beginners, and since it can keep up as you improve, I think it's a blade I can recommend to just about anyone.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I borrowed a friend's and gave it a try, and I think it's really easy to use.
The feel is soft and you can really feel the ball sink into the blade, which makes pushes and serves easy.
Because of that, it's also easy to put spin on topspin drives.
And on top of that, it still has enough speed to punch through with a smash.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I'd always used 5-ply wood blades, so I figured an outer carbon blade would be too much to handle, and went with this one instead. It bounces quite a bit. But you can still get proper spin on it. I think it's a good blade that lets you vary the power well. In terms of hardness, compared to a 5-ply wood blade it's probably not that hard.
