    It's really good, lol.
    I'd been using the Innerforce Layer ALC for a long time, and after researching for something that flies a bit more, I ended up with this blade.
    It has a similar feel to the Innerforce Layer ALC but flies farther, so I lose fewer power exchanges now.
    It's also quite cheap - around 9,000 yen at the cheaper shops.
    I'd recommend it to anyone using the Innerforce Layer ALC who wants a bit more bounce but doesn't want to pay a lot for it.

    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!

    I'm using the max-thickness version.
    Honestly, every ball comes out with some kind of unpredictable spin, lol lol.
    It's a bit on the heavy side.
    The feel and grip on the ball are unique, so I think it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of rubber depending on the player.
    The best thing about this rubber is how easy it is to use over the table.
    But when you get jammed up, the ball often doesn't fly and just slams straight into the net.
    So if you're someone who can still make solid contact even when jammed, or someone who can instinctively grip the ball and hit it, I think your scoring rate in those jammed situations would be amazing. (Sorry, I'm not great with words.)
    Aside from being a bit pricey and not lasting very long, I think this is a really good rubber.

    It's pretty hard, honestly...
    You might need to put a spin-oriented rubber on it for it to feel stable.
    When I play close to the table it flies too much (my own lack of skill), but when I back off it gets a lot of distance and feels quite stable.
    Also, the grip is a bit thick, so the balance point tends to sit closer to your hand, making it feel lighter than its listed weight.
    If you mainly hit flat (meet the ball) or can brush the ball well, I think you can play at a pretty high level with this.

    I'm using max thickness.
    It's really easy to use.
    This quality at this price... it's amazing.
    There isn't really one standout "wow" feature with this rubber.
    But it lands the ball reasonably well from any contact point, and lets you hit both fast and slow shots, so I think it's a rubber that makes it really easy to vary your pace.
    The feel on impact seemed like medium hardness to me, but there was no sense of losing power — it was a really strange rubber lol
    I also think it's lighter than the popular German rubbers these days.
    Highly recommended for anyone who wants a stable game, and for players who aim for pace variation and placement in matches rather than just power.
