Out of all the rackets I've used, I feel that Tenergy 05 on the backhand brings out every technique the best, and this was the most comfortable racket to use with it. I can't help but feel that the slightly larger blade head directly translates into more backhand power.
The ball doesn't leave the rubber too quickly, you can put solid spin on it, the sweet spot feels wide without losing its sharpness, and the handling is fantastic.
However, since the blade head is a bit larger, the total weight gets somewhat heavier once you put rubbers on both sides.
If you like the feel but are concerned about the weight, I'd recommend the Innerforce Layer ALC instead.
Also, for attacking power from away from the table, I feel like the outer-carbon version gives more sense of speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

This is the blade I bought when I realized that some blade a shop had talked me into buying, back when I knew nothing about equipment, bounced way too much and had me just poking at the ball. The moment I used this one, I thought "table tennis is this easy?" and at the same time, "wow, this really puts on spin..." It's a 5-ply blade with a very soft wood, and it's ideal for beginners who are still developing their swing form. Once you keep using it and get better, there will definitely come a time when the bounce feels "not enough." That's your cue to switch.

It's an inner carbon blade, but it's also thick, and the ball bounces off it as much as, or even more than, an outer carbon blade.
That said, it's still an inner blade at heart. It gives you a moderate softness while still popping the ball off cleanly, and if a physically strong, heavy hitter uses it, they'll get tremendous speed and spin.The blade itself is also a bit larger, so once you put rubber on it the whole racket ends up on the heavier side, which makes the drive shots feel really heavy.
I think a racket weighing 90g or more, rather than a lighter one, is definitely the best way to bring out this blade's strengths.
This is a valuable blade that I really want people with strong physical power to try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

This blade is often recommended as an entry model for switching over from wood, and quite a lot of people use it.
It feels completely natural even coming from wood, with the power only really kicking in when you hit hard, but it's easy to use for the short game and soft touches too, without needing to be nervous about it. You could call it a blade that "doesn't try too hard."
Not having any standout trait might actually be its biggest strength. Because of that, I think this is the blade that brings out any rubber's characteristics the most cleanly, without adding any quirks of its own. Blades and rubbers really do have a deep compatibility with each other.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Since there are so many Swat users out there, I bought this as something closer to it. Rubber compatibility probably plays a role too, but compared to the Swat it feels a bit harder, without any major difference in character. Compared to the Forteus FT and the Clipper Wood, it feels like a somewhat middle-of-the-road 7-ply. The Swat, even as a 7-ply, feels almost like a 5-ply, with the distinctive trait that the 7-ply character only shows up when you really strike the ball... This one doesn't quite have that, but it does feel like good value.
