I used to use the Innerforce Layer ZLC, but I like blades that feel closer to wood, so I bought this one. Mine came in at 90g, right around average.
I tried Golden Tango and Q3, and both paired well with it. Unlike the Innerforce, if you're playing mid-distance to away from the table, you need a really strong hit or the ball won't clear the net.Right now it's got Q3 max thickness on both sides at 190g total, and when you swing all the way through, you get a nice, high-pitched, satisfying drive. Stops and chiquitas are also easy to do, and I don't get caught off guard on receive as often anymore.
I think I'll stick with this blade for a while.

At first I used WRM's Ares (a bouncy tacky rubber),
but it was hard to handle,
so I switched to EL-S on both sides,
and it got way easier to handle.
For junior high players with a slower swing speed,
I think an easier-to-handle tension rubber
suits them better.
This blade has bounce, but
the surface ply is limba, which is soft, so
the short game is stable.
Just because it's a 7-ply + special material blade
doesn't mean it's just a flying-off-the-handle blade —
putting on something like Rozena makes it pretty stable.
It also has decent thickness, so you don't get pushed around
on blocks either!
Control is a little tricky, so
I'd recommend a medium-hardness rubber!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It flies more than I expected. I also get the impression it doesn't fly quite as much as the Innerforce Layer ALC, but it's a really easy-to-use blade, and you can feel the quality.
Buuuut, the blade is heavy, so for a junior high boy who's a drive player, even though you can hit one killer drive, your body gets pulled around and keeping it up shot after shot is tough. But if you've got a great physique, this is the strongest option!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I'd been using a 5-ply blade, and I wanted weight and quick ball release from a blade.
So this one is perfect for me.
You can brush it for spin and also really sink the ball into it.
Control is good for both straight and cross-court drives, so you can hit fast drives with confidence. (Harder rubber makes it easier to keep shots in.)
It's a perfect blade, so give it a try at least once. (It's pricey though...)Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I'd recommend it for all-rounders. I use the FL handle, and personally the grip fit is amazing. On attacking shots like drives and smashes it really pops with power, but on pushes and stops it doesn't bounce much, so it's easy to control. I think it's a great blade with no real flaws.

I got mine at 88g, lighter than the maker's stated weight.
Compared to a regular carbon sheet, the dual web is thin, so I wondered "does this actually do anything?" But the high metallic sound, the firmer feel, and the extra distance you get in topspin rallies made it a completely different beast from the "original" Fortius — I was pleasantly surprised.
Also, this might just be down to the rubber, but oddly enough it's easier to kill the ball on stops and blocks than with the "original."
It doesn't affect performance, but the grip construction and finish were a bit lackluster. I think Butterfly is still the best in that regard.
This one lands somewhere between a 7-ply and a carbon blade, and it might be hard to decide whether that's just right or half-baked.
Price included, I'm satisfied, so I plan to keep using it for a while.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

For me, "Fortius" has always meant an all-wood feel that's easy to handle. This one is an inner-carbon type, with carbon placed inside. I expected something like a Bloodwood feel, but the feel was actually pretty hard. It has quite a bit of pop, and decent spin too. As expected, pairing it with Q3 or Q4 works well. Rather than fast attack close to the table, it's better suited to dynamic play like Oshima's. The reasonable part is... the price, I guess...
