    User review

    Better than I expected.

    The sponge is hard but the topsheet is soft, so it holds the ball more than I thought.
    The short game is easy thanks to the tackiness, and when you hit hard the sponge gives it a lot of bounce.
    Even people who find Dignics 09C too hard to use should be able to handle this one.

    That said, it doesn't have the "auto" feel that Tenergy has.

    I bought it for my forehand, but it was easy to use on the backhand too.
    Considering the value for money, this might be the best option.

    A well-balanced rubber, for better or worse.
    Overall it's high-performance, but nothing about it really stands out.
    Like other people have said, it doesn't have much of that "auto" feel.
    Overall the feel on the ball is on the harder side, to the point that the 09C feels noticeably softer by comparison.

    I used this after getting back into table tennis after a few years away. It's not bad, but compared to Tenergy or Dignics it felt lacking.

    The overall hardness of the sheet and sponge is surprisingly close to Tenergy 05, so there's maybe a chance Tenergy 05 users could use this to save money in the off-season, or maybe not.

    Its sister rubber, the 09C, seems to have higher overall performance.

  • Innerforce Layer ZLC

    User review

    I used the older Innerforce ZLC.
    The ply construction from the outside is:
    Limba-Limba-ZLC-Ayous-ZLC-Limba-Limba

    It's technically an "inner" construction, but since the two limba plies are thin, the ZLC ends up positioned relatively close to the outside, so you really do get the flavor of the special material.
    Because of that, it feels soft on light shots, while the ZLC's stiffness comes through clearly on hard shots.
    True to the marketing, the sweet spot is wide.

    The ZLC is hard, but that hardness worked in my favor because it's an "easy-to-read" kind of hardness that lets you instantly tell where on the blade the ball hit.
    I think it would be a first choice for anyone who likes inner-ply blades.
    That said, I don't think it's all that different from the inner ALC.

    My one personal complaint is that the FL handle is thin, and at 180cm tall, I found it hard to grip.
    If there were a thicker FL handle option, I might still be using it today.

    This is a re-review.

    The ply construction, from the outside in, is:
    koto - ALC - limba - paulownia - limba - ALC - koto

    Since the ALC sits right underneath the hard koto wood, it's hard. The ball also leaves the blade quickly.
    People say it has a sense of gripping the ball, but that's only true among fast, bouncy blades — compared to an inner blade or all-wood blade, it doesn't grip the ball.
    Don't get that mixed up.

    Even setting those downsides aside, it flies like crazy. Because of that, if you pair it with a high-spin rubber (like Tenergy 05, Dignics 05, 09C, or Hurricane-type rubbers) and can put spin on the ball right at the moment of contact, it becomes an incredibly powerful blade.
    I could manage it for one-course shots, but in matches there were a lot of times I couldn't, so it was a blade that was too much for me to handle.

    Another advantage is that the FL grip is easy to hold, so I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a thicker grip. The grip is quietly quite important, but I think this Viscaria-style grip really suits the people it suits, so if you're curious, give it a try.

    Conclusion: one of the strongest blades for advanced players. Also recommended for anyone the grip suits. There are also people who buy it out of admiration for Zhang Jike.
    For anyone below advanced level, there's a good chance you won't be able to make full use of its performance.

    A really easy-to-use, god-tier rubber

    The topsheet is soft so it's easy to get grip on the ball and control is easy too.
    Even with a light swing you get decent speed and spin.
    You don't need to force it, so I'd recommend using about 70% power, aiming for spots on the table, and scoring through rallies with repeated shots.

    Back when I was actively playing, 80 didn't exist yet, so this was the rubber I kept going back and forth on with 05.
    Against a sudden long serve from an opponent, it's easier than 05 to use the ball's own momentum to grip and return it.

    On the other hand, the spin amount, starting with loop drives, is inferior to 05.
    My image of it is: 05 for attacking, 64 for stability.
