    The Innerforce Layer AL is a lightweight and shock absorbing blade.

    It’s well balanced and oriented towards heavy spin.

    Carbon layers are placed closer to the core to provide an overall soft feel without losing the AL Carbon characteristics such as lightness, flexibility and speed.

      Bisukaria Works with any rubber!

      Player reviews

      This one's already discontinued. It was a good blade, but honestly, I don't think it's all that different from a regular 5-ply. It's really just that the feel is amazing. It has this special material called Arylate in it, but it doesn't really make much difference in terms of speed. That said, the feel is a bit on the hard side. Thanks to that, it works with pretty much any rubber. Super soft rubbers like ZLF tend to feel like they flex too much when paired with a soft rubber, but on this blade it ends up just right. It works fine even with hard rubbers, so it's a really nice blade. But as I said, it's not that different from a 5-ply, so I think it's better to use a rubber with a bit more bounce to it.

      KENTO KENTO KENTO (Experience: 2〜3 years) Good both close to the table and away from it!

      Player reviews

      It works for players who are good close to the table and players who are good away from the table alike. For me, using V>01 and V>01 Stiff is ideal, but really, as long as it's a firmer rubber, any rubber will do — with practice you can unleash powerful attacks from both close to the table and away from it.

      Counter Man (Experience: 2〜3 years) Suits any skill level

      Player reviews

      I've been using this blade for a year now, and personally I think it's suited for close-to-the-table to mid-distance play. You can do topspin rallies from further back too, but since the blade itself doesn't bounce that much, I personally think it's really good for close-to-the-table to mid-distance play.

      high school girl Just an ordinary 5-ply

      Player reviews

      Aside from the feel, I don't think the performance is any different from a regular 5-ply. This is the blade I used back in middle school. I'd recommend it for beginner to intermediate players!
