As the title says, this is a slightly stiffer version of the Innerforce ALC. Compared to the Innerforce ALC it's easier to get distance and power out of it. I found it pairs really well with Dignics 09C and Tenergy 19. If you get a solid impact on the ball you can hit some really nice shots. I'd recommend it to anyone who finds the Timo Boll too stiff but the Innerforce ALC too soft, or to players who prioritize spin.

Comparison with Hurricane Neo3
The tackiness is a bit less than Neo3 — it's not sticky-feeling so much as smooth and moist. The texture is nice.
Spin is easy to generate. But it's weak against humidity.
Since it uses blue sponge, it feels a bit soft for its hardness. The ball sinks in easily.
I think it produces a bit more speed than Neo3, but not by much.
You can hit it the same way as Neo3, no problem. Since the ball sinks in easily, it's easy to generate power.
It's definitely a good rubber, but I don't think it's worth paying 15,000 yen for. It's not that different from the non-Neo Provincial Hurricane 3 blue sponge you can get for 5,700 yen on Rakuten and the like.Finally, my impression after applying booster (I used Meigetsu, not used in tournaments)
It gets soft and squishy, but the speed doesn't change much. The feel on impact is unpleasant.
Now I clearly understand that you shouldn't bother using booster.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Being a Z-carbon blade, it felt like it could handle both devastating topspin drives and delicate play.
Compared to the ZX-Gear Out, the core is thicker, so it's easy to generate power. I felt like a style that hits the ball hard rather than one that focuses on spin
suits this blade better. I think rubbers that need a bit of muscle, like 15 Extra or Hurricane, suit it well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

As I said in the title, this feels like Bluestorm turned into a tacky rubber. C1 is a rubber like Hurricane,
but C2 is a regular tension rubber. The sponge is a bit hard, but it sinks in easily, so it doesn't feel as hard as the rating suggests.
You can hit it with that Bluestorm-like feel, and since it doesn't bounce too much, it's easy to use a wide range of techniques. Chiquita in particular is easy to pull off,
and I felt it got good spin. Of course, topspin drives are easy too and get plenty of spin. I'd recommend this to people who want more spin than a regular tension rubber on their forehand, or who want stability and spin on their backhand.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The combination of a fine-bubble sponge with a tacky sheet is clearly aimed straight at DHS's Hurricane.
So I'll compare it to the Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge.
For the hitting style, it feels like a middle ground between Hurricane and a tension rubber, and it's best to take the ball fairly deep into the sponge. The hardness is on the firmer side, though it feels less hard than I expected.
You won't get a good ball unless you really use your whole body to hit it. Even so, it doesn't have the same strong quirks as Hurricane, but I also wouldn't call it a hard, easy-to-use rubber.
Next, the short game — needless to say, it's easy to play there. However, the chiquita might feel a bit difficult for people who are used to tension rubbers.
It feels more suited to the forehand than the backhand. People who want to use it on the backhand, or who find it too hard, should probably go with the softer C2 version instead.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
