✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Lemuria Super ALC delivers impressive offensive speed, making it ideal for players who thrive on quick attacks and powerful loops. The Arylate-Carbon layers provide a noticeable bounce that translates into fast shots without feeling uncontrollable. It's not the absolute fastest blade available, but it offers plenty of pace for dominating rallies and putting opponents under pressure from mid-distance.
Despite its speed-oriented design, this blade maintains excellent control through its balanced construction. The wood plies work with the ALC layers to create sufficient dwell time for precise ball placement and spin generation. Players find they can execute controlled loops, accurate blocks, and tactical shots with confidence, making it suitable for both offensive and all-round playing styles.
The blade provides a firm yet responsive feel that gives good feedback on ball contact. It's slightly firmer than some comparable ALC blades, offering direct sensation while maintaining the characteristic elasticity of Arylate-Carbon materials.
The combination of materials produces a medium-high throw angle that helps players generate good arc on loops and clears the net comfortably during aggressive shots.
Good dwell time comes from the ALC layers working with the wood core, allowing for extended ball contact that enhances spin generation and control during loops and touch shots.
The blade offers medium flexibility that provides a good balance between power transmission for drives and enough give for spin-oriented shots and control.
Vibration levels are moderate, providing enough feedback to sense ball contact without becoming uncomfortable or distracting during play.
Build quality is generally good with comfortable handles and smooth wing finishes that require minimal preparation. Some players note occasional imperfections in the carbon layering, but these rarely affect performance. For its price point, the blade offers reliable construction that holds up well to regular play, making it a solid choice for value-conscious players.
Technology
Lemuria Super ALC utilizes a sophisticated hybrid construction with five wood plies and two Arylate-Carbon layers. This 5+2 design strategically places the ALC composite adjacent to the core to enhance elasticity and power while maintaining playing feel. The technology focuses on optimizing the interaction between natural wood's touch and synthetic fibers' rebound, creating a blade that excels at generating speed and spin for modern offensive play. The construction aims to deliver premium performance characteristics at an accessible price point.
