The feel is neither hard nor soft. It hits nicely if you put a spin-oriented rubber on the forehand side. Drives are amazing.

Rubber is the VICTAS faction (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Flies like crazy

It really flies, so it's not suited for beginners. For rubber, spin-focused or balance-focused rubbers like Tenergy 05/80, Fastarc G-1, or Rakza 7/X would be good. It might also be worth trying a harder rubber, like V>15 Extra or Blue Fire M-1 Turbo.

Speed and control both feel good. Easy to put spin on both drives and serves. Smashes are fast too. Among arylate carbon blades, I think this one has a great balance on the ball.

As the title says, I think this is an attacking blade. I've put a soft rubber on my forehand and a hard one on my backhand. They go well together. Tenergy or Fastarc would be good choices for rubber. Rakza or Hurricane might also be worth trying.

Loves table tennis (Experience: ２〜３ years) Great for those with a full swing!

Since it's carbon, it has good bounce. What I noticed hitting with it is that on the forehand, if you swing all the way through, you get really good shots. On the backhand, it's easy to swing for pushes and from mid-distance,
but it was a bit hard to use close to the table. The feel is also soft, so it's a blade I'd recommend to intermediate players trying carbon for the first time.
A rubber that doesn't bounce too much might be easier to use with it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I'm an all-rounder. I mainly play with drives. This Freitas ALC is the perfect blade for someone like me. Drives go in basically from anywhere, from close to the table all the way to far from it. Blocking is easy too. It's an attacking blade for advanced players.

The balance between speed and control is amazing. Drives go in from anywhere. Easy to put spin on serves. The feel is basically the same as the Timo Boll ALC.
