  Innerforce Layer ZLC

  

  This blade is inner carbon (carbon embedded on the inside), so it really sends the ball flying. Also, thanks to this soft feel, it's easy to control and generates good spin too. Especially during topspin rallies at mid-distance, you can really feel the power of this blade. I highly recommend it for drive players!

  However, I'm a close-to-the-table quick-attack type, and I have short pips on my forehand. From here on this is a review from that perspective.
  Honestly, handling the short game close to the table is tough. (Which makes sense.) In particular, pushes don't seem to die down, so it's hard to keep the ball low on the second bounce, and — partly due to my own lack of skill — my opponent smashed my drive back at me quite often.
  That said, attacking shots like chiquita, angled shots over the table, and drives close to the table are really good. By fully unleashing close to the table the power this blade is really meant to show at mid-distance, you can produce powerful shots, so I deliberately use this blade close to the table. If you don't put in the effort, attacking close to the table might be tough.
  It looks like a blade made for drive players, but it's surprisingly all-round usable. I think it's worth the 20,000 yen.
  Highly recommended.

  このラケットはインナーカーボン(内側にカーボンが埋め込まれている)ので、とにかく球を飛ばすことが出来ます。また、この柔らかい打球感のお陰で、コントロール性もよく、回転も良くかかります。特に中陣で引き合いなんかしてるとこのラケットのパワーの凄さが感じ取れます。ドライブマンにとてもオススメ出来るラケットです！

  しかし私は前陣速攻型で、フォア面に表ラバーを貼っております。ここからは前陣のレビューになります。
  前陣の球の処理ですが、正直やりにくいです。(当たり前ですが。)特にツッツキなんかが止まらないような感じで、ツーバウンドを出すのがむずかしく、私の技量が少ないこともありますが、相手にドライブを打たれてしまうことが多々ありました。
  しかし、チキータ、台上角度打ち、前陣ドライブなどの攻撃系はすごく良く、本来中陣で本領発揮する力を前陣で思いっきり使い切ることで、威力のある球を出すことが出来るのであえてこのラケットを前陣で使っています。力を使わないと前陣の攻撃はきついかも知れません。
  割とドライブマンのためのラケットに見えて意外とオールラウンドに使えるラケットです。２万円出す価値はあると思います。
  とてもオススメです。

  Spectol Blue

  

  This rubber really feels like the definitive short pips rubber. It's nothing like those wishy-washy "spin and control both!" rubbers out there.
  My first impression, honestly, was knuckle, knuckle, knuckle balls, lol — during basic drills you get so much knuckle it's almost embarrassing to your partner.
  Looking at the pips, they're really thin compared to other short pips, and quite tall — about the same as the normal Spectrum, actually.
  As for the topsheet, it feels really hard to the touch. When hitting, it felt more like semi-hard, so it wasn't as hard as I expected. Thanks to this hardness, you get tons of dead, knuckle-ball effect.
  However, since the sponge is hard, you need power to produce strong shots. Unless your form is solid and your impact at the moment of contact is strong, the ball goes straight into the net. It's not a rubber for playing around — it's a serious one. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to give their opponent shots they hate, lol.

  このラバーはこれぞ表ラバー！という感じのラバーです。そこら辺の「回転と両立！」などの甘えたラバーとは違います。
  まず第一印象ですが、とにかくナックル、ナックル、ナックルです笑基礎打ちで相手に申し訳なるくらいナックルがでます。
  粒を見てみると、他の表に比べてすごく細く、粒が高いです。まあノーマルスペクトルとあまり変わらないくらいですね
  そしてシートなんですが、触った感じはすごく硬いです。打った感じはセミハードくらいで意外と硬さは感じませんでした。この硬さのおかげで無機質なナックルがガンガンでます。
  しかし、スポンジが硬い以上、力がないと強い球がでません。しっかりとしたフォームで、球を打つ瞬間のインパクトが強くないとすぐネットです。遊びには向かない、マジメなラバーです。相手が嫌がるような球を出したい方などにオススメなラバーです笑
