    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.

      Metathra (Experience: 6〜10 years) Doesn't quite feel like Innerforce Layer ZLC?

      Player reviews

      I used it because people said it's similar to the Innerforce Layer ZLC.
      Personally, I didn't feel it was all that similar.
      The Sexgear IN has a somewhat soft, "poko-poko" feel on contact.
      The grip is also on the thin side, so I think opinions will be divided.
      That said, the play itself is very stable and spin is easy to generate, so you get stable play overall!

      If you buy it as a substitute for the Innerforce Layer ZLC, you might end up thinking, "huh, this is a bit different?"
      I felt it's really well suited to someone who wants stability through a rally, rather than someone looking to finish the point in one shot!

      xuxin (Experience: 6〜10 years) Great racket, above average at everything

      Player reviews

      I bought the 90-gram unit.
      For rubber, I hit with V15 Extra on the forehand and Super Ventus on the backhand.
      It didn't have that typical super-fast carbon feel, and gave an easy-to-use impression. Also, the sweet spot is wide, so I think it's easy to keep stable.
      However, I felt the grip was a bit angular and thin. Because of the grip shape, I feel a slight catch when switching direction.
      That said, there's no technique that feels hard to do, and the performance is enough to satisfy even advanced players.
      Beginners, novices, or middle schoolers won't be able to fully bring out its performance.
      If you really want to use it anyway, I'd recommend going with an easier rubber like Rakza Soft or Ventus Spin instead of a hard, high-spec rubber like G1, V15, or Super Ventus — you'll actually get a heavier, faster ball that way.

      Speaking driveman (Experience: 11〜20 years) This blade is definitely a masterpiece

      Player reviews

      With a light hit, it felt like a completely ordinary inner-ply blade, nothing special. The bounce and control were normal too, nothing wild.
      But when I tried to put spin on it, the blade seemed to flex — like a mix of special material and wood — and produced an incredible amount of spin. That really surprised me. There was no other technique that felt hard to do, but the drive surprised me the most.
      The feel on contact is moderately soft — softer than an Innerforce ZLC — and it holds the ball extremely well. Even without hitting hard, the blade flexes on its own, giving spin on par with a ZLC, and I got heavy drives with tremendous carry. The drive carried so much that opponents often got jammed up by it. It's unfair in the best way.
      It holds the ball slightly more than an Innerforce ZLC, so it can hold onto it a bit too much, but I think that just takes getting used to.
      A recommended blade if you like inner-ply construction.

      Table tennis (Experience: 4〜5 years) Great spin and control

      Player reviews

      This is great — I really think it's one of the best blades VICTAS makes!
      I used to use the Innerforce ZLF.
      It was a good blade, but I wanted a bit more bounce, so I switched to this one! It gets great spin! The drive arcs high!! You can hit consistent drives!! The backhand is really good too! It pairs really well with Super Ventus!
      You won't lose in topspin rallies! If I had to say one downside, it's heavy — mine was 93g, so I felt it was a bit heavy, but I make up for that with strength training.
      I really think this is a great blade!
      It's good value for money too, so definitely go for it!!!

      Horse dragon (Experience: 4〜5 years) Amazing!

      Player reviews

      Every single technique is incredibly easy to do with this!
      It's an amazing blade! And it felt similar to Butterfly's Innerforce ZLC.

      Popping (Experience: 4〜5 years) Wonderful

      Player reviews

      I'd been using an outer ALC blade and bought this wanting more stability. My impression:
      It's easy to control, and if you swing through it properly
      you get plenty of power and spin — an absolute beast of a blade. The feel was similar to an Innerforce Layer ZLC I borrowed from a friend. Definitely give it a try.

      a130079g (Experience: 11〜20 years) Stable

      Player reviews

      All Round Classic → Korbel → Kenta Matsudaira → SWAT → Sexgear IN
      I'm a topspin drive player who likes that soft, "poko-poko" wood feel.
      I'd never really had a chance to try special-material blades, but I bought this on impulse.
      In the past, when I used an outer ALC blade, it was too hard and I gave it up quickly, but this blade holds the ball well, so even someone like me who likes that soft wood feel could handle it just fine.
      The grip is thin, similar to the Kenta Matsudaira. For some reason it has a lens on both sides.
      I expected a super-fast special-material blade, but when I hit it, it's only a bit bouncier than the SWAT. It doesn't send much vibration to your hand, but it's easy to put spin on and feels stable.
      Stops and blocks are also quite stable.
      It's similar to the Innerforce ZLC.
