Blade description:

This composite blade features a 3+2 construction, utilizing an inner-layer ALC arrangement with Limba outer plies. It is designed with a blade thickness of 5.9 mm and typically weighs between 87 and 92 grams. The handle is notably slim and ergonomic, contributing to an overall build that balances a solid feel with sufficient flexibility during full-power swings.

Performance Characteristics

  • Feel and Dwell: The blade is characterized by a “woody” feel, offering significant dwell time that facilitates spin-oriented play and high-quality service returns. It is softer and more flexible than many traditional outer-carbon blades, allowing the player to engage the core on aggressive strokes.
  • Speed and Power: While it offers controlled play during short-game touches, the blade becomes dynamic and powerful when paired with a full swing. It is best suited for close-to-mid distance play, rewarding players who provide their own power, though it may be considered slightly slower than high-end all-out offensive blades.
  • Spin and Versatility: The blade excels at looping, providing excellent spin generation, especially when paired with hard, tacky Chinese rubbers or firmer ESN/Japanese options. It is noted for its stability in blocking and versatility in flat-hitting, making it a well-rounded option for intermediate players developing their offensive game.

I’m no expert, but two things stood out for me when I started using this blade:

  1. It is faster than I expected.
  2. It makes commercial H3 Neo come alive (unboosted 38 + 39).

I will buy another one to try different rubbers, but at the moment I’m very impressed with H3 on this good-value blade.

Mine is 92gr. In my opinion, the speed rating 8.6 is wrong. Slow touches are off, but with full swing, this blade’s power is very similar to (maybe even stronger than) Viscaria. The handle is slim, but good for me. Hardness is a bit harder than medium. It flexes only when full swing. Great quality and inexpensive Innerforce ALC blade.

Excellent wood, very good for beginner athletes, due to its weight and thin handle, with a good combination of rubbers it works very well.
