    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This racket features unique carbon materials on each side—the forehand face prioritizes speed and directness, while the backhand face emphasizes ball retention and spin. Highly rated for delivering rotation performance despite being an outer carbon racket, it's recognized as a model where performance can be optimized through proper rubber selection based on playing style.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Forehand side offers direct trajectory with strong speed; backhand side provides excellent ball control and rotation
    • Achieves good spin-friendliness despite being outer carbon construction
    • Grip design is ergonomic and comfortable to hold
    • Distinct playing feel between sides requires adaptation time
    • Exceptional aesthetic design that's enjoyable to use
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe backhand face retains the ball well despite being outer carbon, delivering powerful spin and arc. The grip features thoughtful width and thickness tapering, so you can use it without gripping tightly or worrying about slipping.
    ▽ CriticalExperienced delamination within a few months, raising durability concerns. The significant difference in playing feel between forehand and backhand can be difficult to adapt to initially.

      Alexandra (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Outstanding design

      Player reviews

      There's no other blade out there with a design this beautiful.
      Performance-wise, it feels like a combination of Butterfly's Jun Mizutani ZLC and Timo Boll ALC.

      The blade is thin, but it flies quite a lot.

      I'd definitely recommend pairing it with Tenergy.

      Usako (Experience: １１〜２０ years) A bit tricky, but really good!

      Player reviews

      I originally used the Innerforce ZLC, and while my backhand was stable, I just didn't have enough strength to get power on my forehand, which was frustrating. Then I found this blade online and bought it!
      This blade has different special materials on the forehand and backhand, so the feel is completely different between the two sides. It took a bit of getting used to, but once you do, it's really great!
      The strengths are, as expected, the stability on the backhand and the power on the forehand. Since the forehand is arylate carbon, the ball flies in a straight line, which made counters and hard drives feel really easy!
      The backhand uses zylon carbon (ZLC), and even though it's an outer blade, it holds the ball better than I expected and gets good spin too.
      The downside is that this blade is a bit tricky if you don't understand its character. The forehand releases the ball quickly, but the backhand has more of a holding feel, so the ball leaves a bit later — that mismatch can be a little confusing until you get used to it.
      Still, the performance itself is very good, so I think it's worth trying.
