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.

High school table tennis (Experience: ４〜５ years) Heavy, really heavy

Using this racket, what struck me most is how heavy it is. Being not very strong myself, swinging it was tough and it ended up swinging my body around instead. That said, the performance is really good. Spin is very easy to get and blocking is easy too. Thanks to this racket, my blocking has improved. Pushes and stops are also easy to do, which I think is great. If you want to try it and you're not very strong, I'd recommend buying as light an individual unit as you can find.

My Korbel broke,
so I switched. The first thing I thought was, this pairs really well with VEGA! Since the racket itself is all about speed and spin, combining it with VEGA, which has great control,
gave me a really well-balanced racket.
The short game in particular is great! I don't feel like I'm going to miss. Topspin drives, even loop drives, dig in sharp and deep.
It's a really great racket!
Definitely worth trying out!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

The TB ZLC was too fast for me, so I switched to this racket. The Harimoto ALC, thanks to its light and soft texture, delivers high spin and control while keeping the speed. Close to the table, the racket is very consistent when opening up with topspin at mid-distance. A bigger head gives you a larger sweet spot when hitting the ball, but the racket gets heavier toward the top. That said, mine weighs 89g, which is fine for me. Blocking is excellent with this racket.

A bit hard, but it has flex and spin is easy to get.
The blade is big, so the drawback is that it gets heavy.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I switched over from an outer blade. Being an inner blade, it holds the ball really well. The performance is similar to the Innerforce Layer ALC, but I'd recommend it for anyone who wants more speed on the ball.

Hiropon @ Kanto (Experience: ２〜３ years) The key is balancing weight and sweet spot

I have the 94g version.
The blade is designed to be on the larger side.
People often say a wider blade makes blocking easier, but since it's only a 1mm difference, personally I don't think it makes much difference.
The real issue is the weight.
It's naturally a bit heavy. (For reference, the Innerforce ZLC and Viscaria I mainly use were both 90g.)4g might seem like a small difference, but because the blade size is bigger, the weight is more concentrated toward the head, and you really feel the weight during your swing. (Maybe air resistance plays a small part too.)
Rapid-fire exchanges are pretty tough on you.
I think casual players or junior high schoolers who look up to Harimoto need to make adjustments, like using thick rubber instead of max thickness.
The speed and spin are fantastic, so how you balance things out is the key.

I switched from the Mizutani Super ZLC to the Tomokazu Harimoto Innerforce ALC,
and I felt the Harimoto Innerforce holds the ball better!
It holds the ball well and still flies, so
hitting with it felt easy!
On the backhand,
just a really light swing sends the ball in deep, and
since it holds the ball well even when the opponent hits at me,
blocking was a lot easier!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
