    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This inner-layer racket receives high praise for its exceptional cost-performance ratio and is considered ideal for beginner to intermediate players upgrading their equipment. Its superior ball control and easy spin generation make it popular among a wide range of players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent cost-performance value
    • Good ball contact and strong control
    • Stable drive shots with easy spin
    • Reliable performance in short-range techniques
    • Great alternative to Inner Force ZLC
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveFor a special material racket, it's affordable with excellent performance. It's perfect for upgrading from ply rackets, with good balance between attack and defense, and easy spin and control.
    ▽ CriticalThe racket is somewhat heavy, causing timing issues during continuous play. It performs poorly with soft rubbers, and mediocre swings result in flat shots. Harder rubber selection and a complete swing follow-through are essential.

      Hamesu (Experience: 11〜20 years) A harder one suits better

      Player reviews

      My impression after hitting with it was that it's a blade aimed as close to the middle as possible (between bounce and ball-holding). It doesn't have any particularly extreme trait, so I think it would appeal to a broad range of players.
      I normally use an outer-ply blade and wanted a bit more bounce, so I think switching from an outer blade might be a little tricky.

      If I had to name a downside, it would be the weight and how it loses speed on a light hit (a meet shot).
      First, regarding weight, it's heavier than the Innerforce Layer ZLC and my swing lagged a bit behind at times. I figured that could be managed with physical conditioning.
      But beyond that, blocks and flat hitting shots don't fly as much as I expected. Part of that may be because I used rubber 80, but I think a harder rubber would suit it better. If the rubber is too soft, the ball drops way too much.

      Conclusion: I think putting on a somewhat harder rubber like Dignics or Rakza Z would suit it better, but be aware the total weight will get pretty extreme as a result.

      Ippao (Experience: 2〜3 years) Feels like the Innerforce Layer ZLC

      Player reviews

      I think it's a really good blade.
      It gives you speed and spin.
      However, my impression is that the grip is a bit thick.
      The price isn't high either, so I don't think you'd regret buying it.

      Padoru (Experience: 11〜20 years) Great balance of power and stability

      Player reviews

      Being an inner-ply blade, it holds the ball well. At first I thought it would be a blade with strong rebound, but it felt slightly less bouncy than the Innerforce ALC. The drive gets good spin and the push is easy to control. However, when you drive from away from the table, it arcs too much and doesn't land in the opponent's court. It would suit someone who wants to hit spinny drives close to the table.

      Watson (Experience: 6〜10 years) The hitting feel

      Player reviews

      The feel on contact has that soft, "poko-poko" quality.
      The play itself is very stable, and spin is easy to generate.
      I thought it's well suited to rally-style players!

      Fiddle (Experience: 2〜3 years)

      Player reviews

      Switched from a 7-ply wood blade
      ◎ (excellent)... stop, loop drive, chiquita
      serve, push, chop
      ○ (good)... speed drive, smash, push (fast push)
      ✕ (weak point)... weight
      First of all, the blade is heavy. I don't think many people will really mind it, but if you hit in quick succession, your swing falls behind. Also, since it's an inner-ply blade, it doesn't fly as much as an outer-ply one, and I felt it doesn't carry that far either. If you're looking for stability close to the table, I think this is the best blade around.

      Slime (Experience: 4〜5 years) God-tier racket!!

      Player reviews

      Looking at the catalog, I thought it would be pretty bouncy, but it's actually easy to control and holds the ball firmly, so it's easy to handle. It's my favorite blade of all.

      Aaaa Amazing ball hold

      Player reviews

      It holds the ball really well. It's carbon so it's bouncy, but because it holds the ball so well, it was quite easy to control. I think the grip is on the thin side. (I bought the ST handle) I personally like a thicker grip, so that part was a bit disappointing. I thought it was a good blade that lets you focus on control while still getting speed and spin.
