Tomokazu Harimoto Innerforce ZLC
An inner-fiber ZL Carbon blade strong in close-to-the-table attacking play such as chiquitas and counter drives. Harimoto's playing model.
💡 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
Reaction of 10.5 places it 40th of 45 — the lowest in the Harimoto line and low across the whole list.
That figure should not be read as a weakness. Inner ZLC at 5.7mm is a combination built to keep the ball on the blade, and low return is what lets the spin you generated survive. The low number is the intent, not a defect.
Vibration of 9.3 is also low, so contact is quiet. Low on both axes can read as bland; for a player who scores with spin it reads as easy to control.
₩285,000. Against outer blades at the same price it is clearly behind on power, so if you have not yet settled on spin or speed as your method, this will feel muted.
What the numbers say
Inner 5-ply + 2 ZL-Carbon plies 5.7mm. Its reaction of 7.0 ranks 37 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.
