“Feels like your own hand that catches the ball” — that’s exactly what a well-balanced inner SALC should do. Fast enough to catapult, but with that dwell time so you can actually create the spin instead of just borrowing the blade’s speed. And Zyre 03 both sides makes perfect sense for that spin/flat game — grippy enough to loop heavy, hard enough to punch flat without bottoming out. Perfect combo!!! So amazing.

Exceptional blade. After having tested over 50 different blades, among which are Harimoto ALC, Harimoto ZLC, Timo Boll ZLC, Viscaria ALC, Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner, etc., I will definitely keep using it as it checks nearly all the boxes for an all-around offensive player.

Didn’t like it from the beginning; mine was 84g. It feels too bipolar for my taste. It’s harder than the standard Harimoto ALC (which was 94g), which had much better feeling and linearity for me.
Harimoto SALC has more power, but the arc is not great, the feel is too muted, and it lacks linearity. Sometimes it bounces too much, other times not enough. Super ALC is just not for me, but I know some people that like it a lot. Like with most blades, it’s a matter of personal taste.
