I was originally using the STIGA Rosewood, but I needed to hit faster shots, so I started looking at inner carbon blades. I narrowed it down to three and tried them out: the Hina Hayata H2, the Cyber Shape Carbon, and the Tomokazu Harimoto SALC.
The Hayata H2, paired with G1 and Hurricane, came out to over 200g, which felt too heavy and hard to handle, so I passed on it. If someone can handle that weight, though, I think it's a really good blade. The Cyber Shape Carbon was also a great blade, but the feel was hard, and switching from wood felt pretty strange. The ball also left the blade fast, and personally I found it hard to get that "grabbing" feeling on the ball.
The Harimoto SALC came in under 190g even paired with Hurricane and Xiom, so it's easy to swing around. Also, the feel was close to wood, keeping that flexy sensation while still having good bounce. I'd really recommend it to anyone considering a switch from a wood blade.
If I had to point out a downside, it's that despite being carbon, it doesn't bounce as much as I expected. Because of that, it doesn't pair all that well with Chinese tacky rubbers. If you plan to use Hurricane as your main rubber, I felt it would be better paired with an outer-carbon blade instead.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
