    Developed with and used by Tomokazu Harimoto
    Similar to Innerforce Layer ALC with moderate speed and the "feeling of grasping the ball", the blade size was designed slightly larger.
    It is a racket that supports aggressive forehand and backhand play.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Overwhelmingly positive reviews highlighting the excellent ball control and spin potential from the inner force construction, with an enlarged sweet spot being widely praised. However, the heavier weight and center of gravity require player adaptation and careful equipment selection.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional ball retention and spin control
    • Enlarged blade increases sweet spot area
    • Stable and user-friendly inner force design
    • Heavier weight requires technique adjustment
    • Outstanding compatibility with Dignics 05
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being inner force, this racket flies remarkably well with excellent ball hold. Perfect stability and power from net play through loops. A versatile racket suitable for all skill levels.
    ▽ CriticalThe enlarged blade increases total weight significantly, and the head-heavy balance demands physical strength. Users must adapt to the weight and choose rubber carefully for optimal performance.

      ice cream (Experience: 4〜5 years) Powerful even though it's an inner blade!

      Player reviews

      This racket is an inner-ply blade, but since the blade itself is large, once you put rubbers on it the total weight goes up and it gives you real power. The blade alone is also on the heavy side, so I'd recommend it to players with a lot of power.

      The price of rubber is high Incredibly good, the best!

      Player reviews

      First off, this is a godly racket! The pleasant feel of the inner ALC, the perfect ball-grip and bounce that keeps shots on the table, the incredibly easy spin, and the insane speed. It's a racket with everything. Ridiculously good (in Kansai, "mutcha" ranks above "meccha" — not that I really know lol). It's honestly almost too good, kind of boring lol. Thanks to Butterfly and Harimoto for making this!!!

      Table tennis boy (Experience: 2〜3 years) Truly the ultimate blade

      Player reviews

      My old FireFall AC broke, so in my second year of table tennis I took the plunge and bought this. I'm currently using a straight (FL) handle, 89.7g.
      Having used the Firefall series before, I was blown away by how well it grips the ball. The feel on impact resonates through your hand and was really great. Also, every technique came together smoothly and easily, which was wonderful. My serves got really nasty too, and I feel like my level keeps rising since switching to this racket. It's great for flicking, for brushing the ball, and for gentle returns. It's hard to find anything it can't do.
      If I had to name a downside, the heavy design meant I was often late on my swing until I got used to it, and I got sore muscles quickly.
      So I'd recommend it to powerful players, or people who find wood blades lacking but outer-carbon blades a bit too fast.
      I'd also recommend it to middle/high schoolers who already have a certain level of skill and want to further refine each individual technique.

      Player reviews

      When I'm playing with it, I don't feel like I'm going to miss.
      It's a bit fast, so it might be a little tricky for intermediate players!
      Even so, once you get used to it, it's fun to play with!
      I think it works well with any rubber you pair it with!

      gorilla (Experience: 4〜5 years) Well balanced

      Player reviews

      As I said in the title, this racket has great overall balance.
      It's easy to put spin on, and a strong impact can produce fast shots too.
      Light touches feel close to wood. Pushes and stops hold their position properly.
      For topspin drives, the good grip on the ball means you'll almost never dump it into the net even against backspin.
      I'd basically recommend pairing it with a harder tension rubber, but a thick coat of tacky rubber can work too.

      Yuukun God-tier blade!

      Player reviews

      This is the strongest racket in every way except speed.
      I tried it with Butterfly rubbers:
      Tenergy 05, 80, 19
      Dignics 05, 80
      Rozena
      and it pairs perfectly with all of them!

      Takoyaki (Experience: 2〜3 years) Well balanced

      Player reviews

      Great balance between offense and defense — easy to attack on my own terms or block defensively. The counter-hitting in particular was great.
      Update: I ended up getting a "miss" unit that weighed only 86g, but as a result it became easier to swing through, so the weight issue solved itself.
