This is my impression after borrowing one from a friend and hitting with it. It gets great spin. Also, even though it has special material in it, the control is excellent, and you don't have to worry about missing at all even when driving from away from the table. If you've been using ALC or ZLC blades, you might not be satisfied with the bounce, but give it a try at least once.

I was a bit curious so I gave it a try.
It gets plenty of spin and the flex is nice too.
Though the speed feels a little weaker.
So, cover that part with your rubber choice.
Just my personal opinion, but I think it's a racket that works fine for beginners and advanced players alike~Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The wood blade I was using got discontinued, so I bought this as my introduction to special material blades. (Special material blades seemed to have less variation between individual units, so my goal was to get used to a harder blade.)
Even though it's a special material blade, the feel isn't hard, and switching over from wood didn't feel that strange. It gives the impression of a wood blade with a wider sweet spot. It's a perfect entry point into special material blades, and I think even beginners could use it without trouble. I also felt it would work fine as a second racket.
The bounce isn't all that strong, so there's a bit of concern about distance if you move back from the table.
If you're going to keep using it, I felt it would suit a style that doesn't move back from the table much, like short pips on the backhand, best.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's thin and flexes, so it's easy to put spin on the ball!
Even tacky rubber flexes and really whips through
On the backhand with the 64, counters are easy too.
Even with the 64 there's flex, and while the spin isn't quite as much as with the 05, it still goes in nicely.
The dark blue looks nice too.
If you sink the ball in, it really shows off that ALC presence
, and it's easy to handleOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Bought it without expecting much. The Innerforce ALC was already starting to fall behind on speed among inner-carbon blades, and this one has an even thinner blade on top of that, so I didn't expect much, but I was curious lol, so I bought it. I'll compare it to the Innerforce ALC.
First, on drives, just as I thought, the speed isn't all that great — it feels like a blade that puts the emphasis on stability and spin instead. Even when hitting quite hard, it doesn't fly off all at once like the Innerforce ALC does; the flight was more restrained, like a 5-ply wood blade. That said, the sound was more like arylate carbon than the Innerforce ALC. Maybe that's because the blade got thinner.
The short game close to the table got even easier. The ball stops well, which left a pretty good impression.
It's very easy to use and I thought it was a good blade, but there's nothing that really stands out as amazing, so I can't say there's a specific use it's best for lol. It might be good for juniors or high school girls. On the other hand, it might feel a bit lacking for high school boys. It's a blade I'd like to recommend, but performance-wise, other than the feel, it's not that different from a 5-ply wood blade, so 16,000 yen might be a bit pricey lolOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It felt like the rubber's strengths came through as they are. I have Hurricane Neo3 on my forehand, and the serves have good spin and drives are easy too. It feels like the grip-on-the-ball sensation gets stronger no matter which rubber you use.
