I borrowed a friend's and hit with it. Comparing it to the Libertas Synergy, another inner blade I normally use — roughly speaking, the Inner ALC is harder, snappier, and more grazing, while the Libertas Synergy is faster, sinks into the ball more, and flies more.
The Inner ALC has a moderate hardness that resonates in your hand. Performance-wise, my impression is that the harder you hit, the stronger the ball comes out, but with a soft touch in the short game it still lands reliably. This contrast depending on how hard you hit is really good. It bumps your overall level of play up a notch. A blade I'd recommend to intermediate players and above.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Just like the title says, it checks all three boxes - hard, heavy, and fast - a true THE-7-ply blade. Even though it's this hard and this fast, the feel is still properly wood. I was expecting it to fly like crazy, but control over the table is actually pretty decent. That said, when you swing a drive, it's amazing. Fast, heavy balls come flying through one after another. If you swing through properly, blocks fly right off. Because it bounces so much, blocks, counters, and flicks all leave a good impression.
It really is that classic, rock-solid 7-ply feel. Totally different from the soft 7-ply Fortius that's popular these days. As for ease of handling, the SK7 is probably a step down, honestly...
If you want ball speed, if you want pop, if you're confident in your strength, please give it a try. I would absolutely not recommend it to beginners (^^)Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Hard

I tried this out mounted on a Brand B SK7.
To put it simply, it feels pretty hard/stiff to the touch. Despite that, it feels soft when you actually hit with it. But but, to get a powerful ball out of it you really need fast impact... lol, so in the end, I'd call it hard.
On drives, when you hit it hard, you get a really nice ball. Brushing gives a higher arc. Surprisingly, catching the ball gives a lower arc. Even from further back you can still crank out powerful balls. The distance is GOOD! In terms of feel, I think catching the ball might suit it better...? By the way, since it's hard and doesn't slip, brushing lightly is fine too. Block-counters pop off the rubber more than I expected, which gave a good impression — you never get pushed back at all. Well, that might partly be because it's paired with an SK7, lol.
Serves bite well too since you can brush the sheet. And for the short game, a hard rubber really is strong (^^)
Conclusion
Just as the heading says, this is for people with power. I can't recommend it to beginners. But if you can really hit the ball hard, I'd love for you to try it (^^) It's kind of like a version of the V15 Extra with a slightly higher arc?Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Using the max-thickness version on my backhand.
The listed hardness difference from Tenergy is just 1, but when I actually hit with it, it felt softer than that — almost floppy. Might be partly because my blade is on the soft side too...
Being a soft rubber, shots that sink the ball into the sponge feel good, but grazing/brushing shots are disappointing — you lose power and the ball drops... though that's kind of the fate of any soft rubber.
It uses a spring sponge so it has a Tenergy-like vibe, but it's totally different. I didn't get that "everything just lands" feeling Tenergy has. My overall impression is just that it's easy to handle. Control was good.Since it's soft, it'd probably suit a player without a strong impact on the ball. For me, even on the backhand it felt almost too soft.
Lifespan is on the short side.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

It was harder than I expected. My first Tenergy was the 05, and the 80 was my second, but it turned out to be a pretty different animal. With the 05, honestly even a sloppy hit would go in, but with the 80, the ball goes in fine, but it was hard to produce a good ball. Maybe there's a specific way you're supposed to hit with the 80...
Performance-wise it's every bit a Tenergy, so no complaints there at all. Both speed and spin are top-level. The ease of countering in particular stood out.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
