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.

SUPERALC (Experience: ４〜５ years) Bouncy, yet not really...

2016/02/11
For normal forehand hitting, this blade only bounces slightly more than a 5-ply wood blade, but when you smash or drive, the speed jumps up all at once and it really surprised me. The gap between soft and hard hits was so big that I kept overshooting the table at first. However, for pushes and blocks it's neither too bouncy nor too dead, which made it really easy to use. It's a blade where you can easily control the power, so give it a try!

Only my table tennis career is long (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Nothing hard to use about it

This is my 9th year playing. I've used blades like the Jun Mizutani and the Gareidia before, but this is the easiest to use and my favorite blade by far! With celluloid balls I didn't think the feel was that great so I hadn't been using it much, but once plastic balls came in and I tried it again, the feel was just right! The performance was already beyond complaint to begin with, so I'm very satisfied! I think it's a stability-focused blade, so just by changing the rubber you can make it speed-focused or spin-focused. Also, it's not that heavy, so it works fine even paired with heavier rubbers. In other words, it's about as close to a perfect blade as you can get!

Timo Boll The ball feels heavy!

Compared to the Timo Boll ALC, it's a bit weaker on soft shots, but on hard hits the power is just as good! The Timo Boll ALC feels stiffer with the ball leaving the blade quickly and fast initial speed, but the shots feel light and were easy for opponents to return. The Innerforce ALC, on the other hand, combines speed and spin, making it harder for opponents to return. On top of that, the control is solid too, so I think it's a blade with no real weaknesses!

I currently have a tacky Chinese rubber on it, and it still produces plenty of speed! The feel isn't soft either - you can really feel that ALC sensation. This is the first blade I've used that combines speed and spin this well, so I plan to keep using it going forward!

Table Tennis Club (4th year) (Experience: ４〜５ years) A top-notch blade

The feel of the ball is distinctive.
I have Omega on my forehand, and the topspin drive grips the ball more than I expected. The speed on hard hits is beyond complaint. The short game is also perfectly manageable. It handles topspin rallies well too, so I think it's a really good blade. The control was also excellent. I think it would work fine with pretty much any rubber.
The consistency is wonderful. The price isn't too high either, so it's a blade I'd highly recommend.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

The distinctive feature is a crisp "clack!" feel when you hit the ball. That said, it's not like the ball leaves the blade so fast that it's hard to put spin on it. And it still generates speed. Well, some of that might come from the rubber too.
I also think the control is good.
It mostly lands where I aim.
It feels like a softer version of the Timo Boll ALC or Timo Boll Spirit feel, with a bit less speed but easier spin generation.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

Innerforce (Experience: ２〜３ years) Awesome

All I can say is it's amazing. It feels soft in normal play but really flies when you hit hard,
so it's easy to use. It's also easy to play the short game with, and it really feels
like it grips the ball, so even with a somewhat harder rubber you can play with solid consistency,
which makes even Tenergy 64, which is normally hard to control, easy to use.
I think it's a flawless piece of equipment.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch
