I was using the old-lot FL version.
I had tension rubber on both sides, but for someone who usually uses inner-type or all-wood blades, it feels very carbon-y, the ball leaves fast, and I got the impression it flies off before you can fully put spin on it.
It's back on sale now at a higher price, but it's basically identical to the Timo Boll ALC, Zhang Jike ALC, Kenta Matsudaira ALC, Fan Zhendong ALC, Lin Gaoyuan ALC, etc., so unless you really care, I think it's fine to just pick whichever outer ALC blade is cheapest, or choose based on which grip shape you prefer.
It's a good blade, but given that it used to sell for 10,500 yen, I don't feel like paying today's price for it.

I used this for about 3 years.
It has good speed, but I feel like it's hard to generate much spin.
It's a bit on the hard side, so I think it's tough unless you really let the ball sink into the sponge.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

On light hits it doesn't bounce much, feeling more like a low-elasticity rubber, but when you hit hard or drive, the ball holds on the rubber well and comes out with solid spin and speed.
The ball tends to pop up quite a bit, so if you close your racket angle slightly, you get nice deep shots.
Compared to the Dignics or Tenergy series it feels a bit shallower, but considering the price and performance, it's a really good rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It feels like the definitive outer-carbon blade.
Among outer blades, I'd say it's an easy-to-use one that lets you get good spin and good speed.
Personally I prefer 7-ply or 5-ply wood blades, so I really struggle with the carbon feel and how fast the ball leaves the blade, but for people who already use outer blades, or for stepping up from an inner blade, I think this is ideal.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I bought a heavier unit at 93g.
It has that stability you only get from wood, and the ball settles really well.
Drives and smashes feel great, but when blocking, unless you push into the shot a little, it feels like it absorbs too much of the incoming power.
Also, if you swing with too much force, the ball can drop short or fall shallow, so I'd say this is worth trying for anyone stepping up from a beginner racket, or anyone who feels their current inner-carbon blade bounces too much.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
