Ice cream AZXI (Experience: ２〜３ years) I just love it/////

《Design》
Red and black, purple and black — it's exactly the kind of design boys love!! That's what drew me in at first too!
《Functionality》
It puts out speed, and the feel on contact is really good too. If I had to name a downside, it'd be the weight. I personally like it on the heavier side, but I felt it might be a bit tough for people who aren't used to handling that. The times call for ice cream ☆Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

My style of play suits this wood. Specifically, "Z" for the forehand and "A" for the backhand. This wood uses limbs, so there's dwell time for doing topspin
I recommend using medium or medium-hardness rubber on the "Z" side. For the "A" side, use something soft like a spring spoon so the ball flows.

This blade has different special materials on each side, which really appeals to that guy-gear-nerd feeling.
I'll write comparing Axylium as Xylon carbon
and Zephyrium as arylate carbonAxylium flies really far.
Compared to the Innerforce ZLC, it feels quite a bit harder. It also doesn't feel like it grips the ball much.
Drive power is greater than the Innerforce. The ball comes out quite flat and linear.
My impression is it doesn't get much distance.
Hitting backspin is quite difficult
I felt there wasn't much benefit to it being an inner blade.Zephyrium had a pretty dull, sluggish feel on contact.
It flies more than the Innerforce ALC, but the grip on the ball is weak
It's not really the feel I was looking for.
I felt a lot of stiffness in the short game, and honestly felt it'd be tough to use in a match.
Honestly, I feel like using Axylium on both sides would be betterThe feel of this blade when you hit it seems close to an outer blade. So there doesn't seem to be much point to it being an inner blade, and I don't feel the need to use it

Having two different special materials, one on each side, is really interesting. It's great that you can use it to fit your own style.
I put short pips on the A side (used on my backhand), and the feel is amazing — basically if it makes contact, it goes in. The ball also releases quickly, so it packs power too.
I put inverted rubber on the Z side. Since it's more spin-focused, the bounce is definitely more subdued than the A side, but that gives you stability and lets you produce balls with good spin. Topspin loops in particular felt great.
That said, the rubber I put on turned out softer than expected (first time buying it), so it was hard to finish points with my forehand. I'd recommend putting harder rubber on the Z side.
Overall, I can really recommend this blade to anyone whose stroke differs between forehand and backhand. It's especially worth it if you use pips. Even with inverted rubber on both sides, this blade also suits players who hit their backhand with a meeting stroke, or anyone unsure about one side's technique who feels they have to build their blade around the other side. It's also used by Korea's Jeong Yeong-sik, so the quality is proven — if you're even a little interested, I don't think you'll regret buying it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I got to try a demo blade during multi-ball practice, and the feel coming through the blade was clearly better than any carbon blade I'd used before, so I ended up buying one the following week.
I'd stuck with penhold looper style for years, but I hadn't come across a good blade in recent years, and while thinking about switching to the now-mainstream shakehand style, I came across this blade.
Of course, I now use it both as a coach and as a player.
For the demo I used Tenergy 05 max thickness on both sides; the rubber I currently use is Q5 max thickness on the forehand and G1 max thickness on the backhand — both are the best setup for me.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I got to test-hit it at the shop before buying, and I was really surprised at how clearly different the bounce was even though it's an inner blade. Personally, using the Z side on my forehand, I was amazed at how easy it was to put spin on it — it didn't feel like a special material blade at all. Since I hit my backhand with a slightly more meeting-the-ball style, the fast-releasing A side suited me really well. The feel on contact is great and the grip design looks really cool, so it makes playing a lot of fun.

I've hit with a lot of carbon blades before, but this is the first one that's surprised me this much. Spin obviously comes on well, and it puts out plenty of speed too. Different types of carbon are used on each side (ALC Axylium carbon and ZLC Zephyrium carbon), which changes the performance. Axylium carbon focuses on speed, Zephyrium carbon on stability — I used Axylium carbon on my forehand, and it was fun getting a different ball quality out of it. When I use Zephyrium carbon on the backhand, the flex kicks in, giving speed while the ball still sinks solidly onto the opponent's side, which makes it really easy to use.
