Undergarment (Experience: ２〜３ years) Stable

The appeal is how well it holds the ball, more than you'd expect from something with carbon in it.
It pairs well with spring sponges like the ones used in Tenergy.
That doesn't mean it pairs badly with tacky rubber either, though it does reduce the quirkiness a bit.
Overall, my shots are stable.
I have the 05 on my forehand,
and I think it bounces less than a 5-ply wood blade.
Anyway, it's easy to put spin on the ball. It feels just like wood (aside from the feel on contact). Blocking is also easy.
However, I wasn't a big fan of the sound on contact.
Though that's just personal preference. (´･ω･｀)
Also, when I pair it with Rozena, the tolerance seems to come out even more, which makes it easier to play. My backhand is weak, but my mistakes dropped noticeably.
A product I can confidently recommend.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I have the 05 on my forehand,

In other words, the ball leaves the blade slowly, which makes it easy to put spin on. Blocking is also easy.

I don't know the purchase price above since it was a gift.
Compared to the Innerforce Layer ALC, the blade is thinner so the bounce is a bit weaker (though since it has carbon in it, it still bounces reasonably well; on the flip side, that also makes it easier to control and it suits any rubber).
I switched from Hurricane, famous for not bouncing at all, to Butterfly's high-tension rubber Rozena (not Tenergy, lol), and gave it a try,
but I had no complaints about it not bouncing enough or bouncing too much
Also, blocking with Desperado (pips) on the backhand stops the ball firmly, and even chopping when I back away lands solidly in the opponent's court.
Since it works with tacky rubber, tension rubber, or long pips alike,
I think it's a racket that doesn't limit your playing style. I hope this review helps even a little.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's very easy to use. It's easy to put spin on the ball, and I think it adapts to any playing style. The spin performance is outstanding. However, there are places where the speed feels lacking. The stability is excellent, so please do give it a try.

It's easy to handle, no complaints there. Because the blade is thin, you get insane amounts of spin too. Flat hitting is also very easy. It flies more than I expected. It's easy to pull off a fast, spinny backhand like Miu Hirano's. Of course close to the table, but even from mid- and away-from-the-table distance it still gives good power, so I thought it was great. This rubber combination is also highly recommended. I'd really like people to try this combination at least once.

Baumkuchen (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Soft grip-and-throw feel

I switched to this racket from the Liberta Synergy. The two are pretty similar — the grab-and-throw feel, the soft feel on contact, the high versatility of exploding when you need it to. However, they showed a clear difference in bounce. Because the blade is made thinner to help with spin and the material is placed even further inward, the bounce is more subdued than the Liberta, and control improved accordingly. If you move back from the table you get things like reduced power and a shallower landing point, but if you're not the type to move back, it shouldn't be a problem. A wonderful racket.

Borrowed a friend's and hit with it. The feel is incredibly good.
I'm not great at hitting drives in a row, but with this one, close to the table, it
goes in surprisingly well. The bounce was easy to handle. If you move back a bit the power drops off, but these days table tennis is mostly
played close to the table anyway, so it's fine. I was so impressed after hitting with it that I'm going to buy an ALC or ZLF and try those too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
