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.

I think of this as a more manageable version of the Timo Boll ALC
As far as carbon blades go, it's in the pretty easy-to-use categoryIf you like the feel of ALC blades but find them too fast to control, I think this would be good for you

This blade is hard and flies really well!
On top of that, it has good grip on the ball and it's easy to put spin on!
But one thing that bothered me is the serve.
No matter how much backspin I put on my serve, it doesn't feel like it's actually cutting.
Personally I think Hurricane rubber would suit it, so I want to try that for my next rubber.
It's not a blade you'll regret buying, so if you're curious, why not give it a try?Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

This blade is often recommended as an entry model for switching over from wood, and quite a lot of people use it.
It feels completely natural even coming from wood, with the power only really kicking in when you hit hard, but it's easy to use for the short game and soft touches too, without needing to be nervous about it. You could call it a blade that "doesn't try too hard."
Not having any standout trait might actually be its biggest strength. Because of that, I think this is the blade that brings out any rubber's characteristics the most cleanly, without adding any quirks of its own. Blades and rubbers really do have a deep compatibility with each other.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I switched from a Zhang Jike ALC outer blade, so this review compares it to that.
Coming from an outer blade, the ball grip is relatively better, so I felt like it was easier to do spin-heavy techniques overall.
The initial speed off a drive is faster with the outer blade, but the ball's extension after the bounce seems to go to the Innerforce.For short-game techniques and pushes, you can feel a wood-like quality, which I think makes it easier to vary pace and create rhythm in your play.
The feel is pretty jarring on the hand, so I think opinions on it will be split……
If you're coming from wood, it might take a bit of time to get used to the feel.I think it's a blade with very well-rounded performance overall, but I felt the ball's distance was a bit lacking in situations like topspin rallies further from the table.
If you want more distance, I think you're better off choosing another outer blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Mochi (Experience: ４〜５ years) A special-material racket that generates spin!

Being an inner blade, on top of the great grip on the ball, it also has the speed you'd expect from a special material, so I'd recommend it for switching over from an all-wood blade. I think it can be used widely from intermediate to advanced players!
Everything about it is stable, but it doesn't really have one standout trait, so I think it's even better if you back it up with the right rubber!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The control is amazing, seriously, in my opinion the control performance was really high, you can hit exactly where you're aiming
You can put spin on the ball the way you want, or rather, it's really easy to generate spin
The feel is really good too, it sticks to your hand which makes it very easy to use
There's not much speed thoughOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
