Tomokazu Harimoto Innerforce ALC
Harimoto's playing model, based on the Innerforce Layer ALC with its moderate reaction speed and ball-wrapping touch, with a slightly larger blade size.
💡 Who this suits
Good reaction speed, well suited to attacking play, with a moderately crisp feel that works across a range of styles.
About this product
The entry to the Harimoto line: ₩195,000, reaction 10.7, vibration 9.2.
It costs ₩90,000 less than the ZLC version in the same line, and yet its reaction is 0.2 higher. A good illustration that material grade is not a performance ranking — the ZLC model deliberately sits lower.
Vibration of 9.2 is the lowest in the line. Even with carbon in the build, little shock reaches the hand, which suits players who find carbon blades too sharp.
At 6.0mm it sits mid-line for thickness. It is a comfortable first inner-carbon blade, and leaving more of the budget for rubber is a real practical advantage.
What the numbers say
Inner 5-ply + 2 Arylate-Carbon plies 6mm. Its reaction of 7.1 ranks 31 of 46 blades, on the low side. It is on the more flexible side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.

Where this blade sits
Reaction and vibration figures Butterfly publishes for 46 of its blades (official 1–15 scale). Further right means more reaction; higher means more vibration. Neither axis is "better" — they describe character. Other brands use different scales and are not mixed in.
