This was my first time using an inner-carbon blade, and sure enough it flies more than an all-wood blade. It also holds the ball better than I expected, so it's easy to add spin, but despite being an inner-carbon blade, it's soft. Online it said inner-carbon blades are mostly hard, but this one is soft. It probably suits a hard spin-oriented tension rubber; something like Vega might not be the best match. It also seems like it'd pair well with Chinese rubber. Even with Vega, though, you can still get plenty of spin, so the performance is more than enough. I'll be using this as my main blade for a while.

The standout points are probably the feel and the sound.
First, the feel.
It's really pleasant. There's a special material placed in the inner layer, and the wood combines beautifully with a special material called Izanas carbon.
The closest comparisons would be the Innerforce Layer ZLC and the Apolonia ZLC. The hardness on contact, how it grips the ball, and how much it bounces all felt the same, but the one difference is the flex - this blade barely flexes at all.
The feel is like it grabs the ball once and then snaps it back hard. I get why people describe it as trampoline-like. It really bounces a lot.And then there's the sound.
If you pair it with a typical hard, spin-oriented tension rubber (German sponge hardness around 47.5), hard shots produce a metallic sound that's like a mix of a sharp "crack" and a ringing "ping"!
I used Norisuke glue and World Connect's Perfect Glue for gluing.One more thing worth mentioning - the opponent's ball strangely feels light. Ever since the switch to plastic balls, the ball has felt heavy, which always bothered me. Because it grabs the ball firmly without getting pushed back by the opponent's power, it beats everything else in terms of confidence on counters. I imagine some people who've been playing since the celluloid-ball era have struggled with this, so I hope this is useful for reference.

Using it with a Chinese penhold grip!
This is seriously great! It's a Darker blade all right - no complaints whatsoever. I can't put this feeling into words. You only get it if you've actually used one.
It's the best!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I think it's easy to use and good.
The blade itself is on the lighter side too, so it's easy to swing.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This was my first inner-carbon blade. Reviewing it after 9 months of use.
Topspin drive & smash
With forehand hits it didn't feel like it had much pop, but when you swing it, it grips the ball firmly before releasing it. Really fast. And it still holds the ball. Hitting hard doesn't make you lose the grip on the ball, so you can chain heavy, spin-loaded shots one after another. The smash is average, since the blade always wants to hold the ball a bit.
Block & counter
It feels like it absorbs the opponent's topspin drive and sends it back. It doesn't snap the ball back like an outer blade, so blocks rarely turn into counters on their own. Counters are stable since you can grip the ball and swing back.
Receive & short game
Stopping techniques like the stop are very easy to do, since the ball won't fly off with a light touch. The chiquita makes good use of the ball-holding feel to really load up spin. It's not suited to a snappy flick, though.It holds the ball while staying soft, and still delivers plenty of power with no complaints on hard shots - a well-balanced blade that anyone can use, but I'd especially recommend it to drive players running inverted rubber on both sides who really want to load up spin.

I used the ST version.
The design has a premium feel, not too thin, round, and easy to hold.
I'd always avoided special-material blades and mainly used 7-ply blades, but I could switch over to this without any discomfort.
Honestly, every technique feels easy to do.
Serve, stop, chiquita, block, drive, counter — there isn't a single technique that's hard to pull off.
It really has that grabbing feel, and forehand drives and counters in particular are stable.
It's easy to use close to the table, at mid-distance, and away from the table, and the ball really flies.
I feel like harder spin-tension rubbers suit it well.
I tried Rigan on the backhand once, but it felt too soft and a bit lacking.
I plan to keep using this as my main blade going forward.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

This was my first time trying a Darker blade, and it turned out better than expected — it's become one of my main blades.
First, the feel: whether you put tacky rubber or tension rubber on it, it feels great to hit with. It doesn't jar your hand, yet you get a real sense of being able to control the ball freely. I really liked that.
As for bounce, among inner-carbon blades it's on the lower-middle side, so it's easy to keep the ball on the table, and small techniques like stops are easy too. At the same time, you can still hit powerful shots when you go for a hard hit.
As for how it holds the ball, it's just right — not holding it too much — so it's easy to choose between spinning or hitting flat, which feels well balanced.
In summary, this blade doesn't have any one standout, extreme trait, but it's a comfortable blade to use that gives the player's own skill a little boost, like it's backing you up.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
