This blade is to me the Innerforce ALC improved. It is a little heavy so that might be a negative for some but it increases its overall power. It's speed is pretty close to outer carbons but has the control and dwell of inner carbons and even comparable to wood blades. It's soft outer limba layers let me spin and loop confidently, as well as play the short games nicely. Blocking with this blade is as good as it's looping games. When I want speed, I just need to dig a tad bit harder and it gives me all the speed I need with added control.
But enough about performance specs. I've always prioritized the feel of the blade in my hand when searching for the right blade, and this blade does not disappoint. The soft Limba outerply gives the initial impact a very warm and broad feeling. These soft outer layers just begs to be deformed by a strong swing though, as when it is done so, the inner ALC kicks in, giving the softer outer plies stability and power, with a metallic crisp similar to the Viscaria, but muted by soft outer plies. Combined, the soft and the stiff form to give great feedback to the hand, and speed is not compromised at all.
