The biggest advantage of this blade is that it doesn't pick favorites with rubbers. Normally there's compatibility between a blade and rubber, but with this blade that doesn't seem to be an issue. Whatever rubber you use, the carbon lets you hit fast balls and play with a lot of spin. It's well-balanced, and I think it's a blade that elevates your own game.

I don't have much particular to say, but if I had to pick something, it would be that it uses PA carbon. It's a carbon that has offensive power while still being excellent for control. The young Chinese player Liang Jingkun praises it highly too.

From Yasaka, who's good at making inner-ply blades, this is a somewhat rare special material blade lately. It flies quite a lot — even a light swing sends the ball landing right near the end line. The price isn't too high either, so I think it's worth trying

It's given my fast shots even more of a boost
I've been using it for a year now. Given the Arnade's specs, I was doing fast topspin drives with a more contact-heavy touch, but when I swing through while grazing over the top of the ball, the extension after the bounce becomes incredible, and it's now my finishing shot. I think what's wonderful about the Arnade is the sound it makes — the tone matches the feel of the shot really well, and it feels greatOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

When I was going to buy the Arnade, people around me said I'd get more balls going long, but because it flies well, I've been able to keep my swing more compact, which actually improved my control. Also, the feel is a bit on the firmer side, so it's easy to use — which means I can put power into my shots comfortably, and I've even started being able to aim right at the edge of the sideline
However, since the ball comes off fast, you can also comfortably blast it right down the middle
In a good way, I think the challenge becomes choosing the right rubber
With the Arnade, the task is finding the rubber that suits you and brings out the blade's performance
Since the Arnade seems to work with pretty much any rubber, that actually makes it harder to choose. I also heard online that Chinese players have started using it. If you were to ask for something more from this blade, I honestly don't know what it would be
Though if you go for more spin, the speed might drop a bitOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

My impressions using it shakehand style. When connecting loops it feels soft. When I do topspin drives or flat hits, I feel the hardness of the carbon. There's a strange sensation like something's mixed in even within that hardness. I feel like there's a mixed metallic sound to it. When I put on a tacky rubber (Shorai Ryu), the ball gets quite wild when I hit it hard with a smashing drive. Being an outer blade, even if you can't read the opponent's spin, you can still hit through it as long as the ball floats up a bit. Smashes are launched off the wooden blade itself, so it doesn't matter too much which blade you use for those. There's no situation where you get rejected unless you hit it in perfect form. When you're caught off guard by a reverse shot and reflexively stick your racket out, if you lay the blade flat and do a small drive, it actually lands right on the table in a nice way. The problem is long balls — when I catch it accurately in front and to the side of my body, a nasty ball goes out, but when the ball comes right up close and I'm cramped, it doesn't hold the ball. This is the best blade I've used since the Korbel Speed, and I've grown quite attached to it, but I'm going to try the inner-ply Arnade next, so I'll check whether it holds the ball when cramped, whether it gets wild on power shots, and whether it still flies properly when I'm forced into an arm-only shot after being shaken around the court.

Here's another review of the inner-ply Arnade.
Yasaka's version of the Innerforce ALC (A) would be the Leanforce AC, and the Innerforce ZLC (Z) would be the Xebrate.
The inner Arnade (Ar) sits between the ALC and ZLC, taking the best of both the inner ZLC and the Liberta Synergy (Sy).To compare simply:
Arc on light shots: Z ≧ Ar > A > Sy
Arc on power shots: A ≧ Ar > Z > Sy
Overall speed: Ar > Sy > Z > A
Drive reach and weight: Ar ≧ Z > A > Sy
Ball-holding: Sy > Ar ≧ Z ≧ AI'd been drifting between different equipment, but I've finally settled on this one.
