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.

Soft and it flies. I switched over from the Innerforce Layer ALC so it feels a bit heavier, but because of that it flies more and digs in deeper than the Layer ALC. I personally like the grip design. In the short game, everything is easy except the flick. With the flick, the ball sinks into the blade too much and I can't get that sharp "pop" snap on it. This is my favorite racket out of all the ones I've used so far.

I have a question. I'm currently using the Innerforce ALC, S size.
Which would be better: the Harimoto Inner, the Jun Mizutani ZLC, or the Freitas?
My goals:
1. I want more spin
2. I want a blade that pairs well with Tenergy 05 FX
(My current rubbers are Tenergy 05 FX and Rozena.)Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

These are my impressions after borrowing it from a friend. First off, it's heavy — even with Hurricane thick and Tour thick rubbers on it, I think it comes to around 190g. But the blade is bigger than the Innerforce Layer, so the sweet spot is wider and spin is easy to get. Speed-wise it doesn't bounce as much compared to the racket I currently use. Everything except the weight might be great.

I normally use the Innerforce Layer ALC.
Flat hits and blocks close to the table are very easy with this one — I felt it's a blade built for Harimoto's hard blocks.
I couldn't keep up with the switch-back from two-handed topspin drives close to the table, especially on the backhand drive where the head felt too heavy to return the ball, so I gave up on that.
It might suit someone who's mainly forehand-drive focused and uses a lot of backhand flat hits.
The short game was harder to control than with the Innerforce Layer ALC, but the push has more bite and digs in deeper with the Harimoto Inner.
The Harimoto Inner felt more weighted toward the tip than the Layer ALC, and I felt the top ply was a bit stiffer.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I switched over from the Korbel.
The first thing I noticed was how much it bounces!
But it's still easy to handle.
Even being a special-material blade, there's a solid sense of holding the ball, and I can hit exactly how I intend to.
If you're nervous about trying special-material for the first time, I think this one will put you at ease.
Just, it's heavy.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I was torn between the Koki Niwa Wood and the Harimoto Innerforce, and ended up buying the Harimoto Innerforce. It has a lot of bounce and personally I really like the feel.
I've only put Dignics on it so far, so I can't say much, but the pairing is good. Just a light swing on a topspin drive sends the ball flying with a ton of spin and good speed. But the weight is by far its biggest weakness.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Easy to get spin on and it's fast too. The feel isn't too hard, just right. The one and only drawback is that it's too heavy. Because the blade size is bigger, it's just plain heavy — it easily goes over 190g. If you can overlook that flaw, it's a perfect racket.
