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.

My impression after hitting with it was that it was very easy to play with. The grip on the ball and the vibration that comes through to your hand are addictive. It doesn't have any one stat that stands out above the rest, so I'd recommend it to intermediate players looking to switch rackets. I switched from the previous Innerforce Layer ALC to the Harimoto model and felt the overall performance was better. Since it grips the ball well, it's easy to get spin on it, so even a slightly harder rubber could work well with it.

Boogaloo (Experience: ４〜５ years) Comparison with 5-ply and 7-ply
-

This is a comparison with a 5-ply wood blade (Dilfer, discontinued by Butterfly) and a 7-ply (Koki Niwa Wood, VICTAS).
It solves the issues I had — with the 5-ply, feeling like "with this swing I want more speed than this," and with the 7-ply, feeling like it was "heavy."
The Koki Niwa Wood has more speed. This one has a stronger grip-on-the-ball feeling than the Koki Niwa Wood.When I mentioned I wanted my first special-material blade, my coach at TACTIVE recommended this one, and I bought it after about 30 minutes of test-hitting at a local shop.
Looking forward to using it going forward.Side note: apparently ALC flexes more in a straight line than ZLC — I didn't know that before (I always thought it was the opposite). Since I swing with a lot of spin, he recommended the more linear ALC to balance that out.

This is the racket Harimoto uses!
It's the strongest and best racket out there.
I heard Nittaku-sponsored player Mori ○ also uses it, so it must be legit!
Chorei! Xiaora!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I switched from my previous racket looking for more bounce. Since it's a Hurricane, I expected it not to bounce much, but it bounced way more than I imagined. It also has great grip on the ball, though maybe a bit too much, so I think it's better to focus on swinging forward. My opponents said my loops came in low and sank, making them really hard to return. Overall very stable and really good.

The blade is big, so if you have small hands, be careful — I have small hands and it hurt.
Also, it feels heavier than the Innerforce, maybe?
I think that's because the balance point is more forward.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This is a godly racket.
The balance between offense and defense is great, so not only attacking techniques but defensive techniques are easy to pull off too.
Among current models, it's one of my top 3 favorite rackets.
Chorei!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
