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.

High speed rally type (Experience: ２〜３ years) Probably not for beginners

Good balance of spin and speed. But since I had been using a Fly ATT carbon, I was a bit late on my swings, which led to mistakes. I think it'll work fine if you build up your footwork and arm strength. So I'd say it's good to try once you're an intermediate player with a bit of muscle built up.

I used this in the past, so here's a review revisiting it.
I put on Hurricane rubber, and I felt it went well with tacky rubber, but I think it also pairs well with tension rubber, making it a blade that appeals to pretty much everyone.
On offense, the balance between spin and bounce is good, and even a big swing drive stays on the table. I think it suits looping the ball more than flat hitting.
Blocks don't fly off on their own either, so they stop just right. Pushes and stops can be done while still feeling that wood-like touch, so there's not much sense of the ball flying off unpredictably.
Serves were easy to put spin on too.
In conclusion, this was an all-around blade that pairs easily with any rubber, with a great balance of bounce, ease of spin, and control.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Inner ALC makes every technique easy.
It's got good bounce, and a real sense of the ball being held on the blade.
As my impression from using both outer ALC and inner ALC: the feeling of the ball being held is there with the inner. At my level as an intermediate player, the outer bounces so strongly that drives tend to fly off before you fully finish putting spin on them, and receives can pop up, being more affected by the opponent's spin.
I think outer blades are for people who like a lot of bounce, advanced players, or people who can move their feet properly and generate spin during a match.
I think inner blades are for beginners and intermediate players, or anyone who likes the feeling of gripping the ball and putting spin on it. A lot of advanced players and even pros like the inner feel and use it too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I bought this as I'm about to enter my second year of playing table tennis. It puts way more spin on the ball than the 5-ply all-wood blade I was using before. It also has a decent amount of speed, which I like. I'd recommend this blade to people who want to compete using spin.

Nyanko-sensei (Experience: More than ２０ years) Using for penhold short-pips speed attack

It's harder than I expected.
It doesn't fly much on light hits.
But when you hit hard, it's fast and has good extension.
As a penhold pips-out blade, this is quite well suited!
It's also easy to produce the knuckleballs that are characteristic of pips-out rubber.
The ball releases quickly, so even with short pips, a rubber with good grip on the ball works well.
If the rubber is too fast and springy, you won't feel this blade's flex through your hand.
Right now, Rakza PO is a perfect match for it.
On a normal flat hit, the arc isn't very high, and the harder you hit, the more the trajectory flattens out.
Shorts, and pushes, flicks, and stops in the short game are all really easy to do.
The blade is thin, which is great, but the blade head is a bit large, so I shave off about 1mm to make it more compact and easier to swing.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It doesn't have that carbon feel, and it's max thickness, so I wondered if it might be tacky rubber. The feel is hard. It grips the ball well. It gives good bounce in a lot of situations

I bought this as the second blade of my table tennis life. I feel like this blade suits people without much power who want to rally from mid-distance or hit fast shots. You don't really feel the special material much, so it plays like wood.
