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.

The Tomokazu Harimoto ALC is an inner blade, so the feel is very soft and the sense of holding the ball is outstanding. I switched over from an outer blade, so at first my strong impression was that it didn't fly much, but once I got the feel for gripping the ball, I found I could drop the ball deep on the table and it was easier to control than an outer blade. Being an inner ALC, the spin performance and shot power are insane. It's easy to produce an arc, so the ball lands on the table easily too. I'd recommend it more for players who play close to the table or mid-distance rather than players who hammer away from the table.

This is just insane.
The topspin drive really carries!
This blade definitely has a lot of bounce, but even paired with Dignics (max thickness) the bounce turned out to be surprisingly stable.
For the sake of stability I'd recommend Tenergy as the rubber, but advanced players or anyone who wants even more power could go with Dignics too.
The weakness is probably the weight. Even with Tenergy on both sides it was a bit on the heavy side.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Beginners probably shouldn't use this one.
Once you get to an advanced level like us it's easy to use,
but I think beginners would actually find it harder to use.
The spin you get is insane.
Just from changing rackets,
it made me think, "can it really change this much?"
— that's how much it changed things.
If you're around second year of junior high,
you might just be able to
handle it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It flies quite a bit and the spin is insane. Switching over from ZLC, the short game and topspin drives just get so much more stable.
This is a godly racket, no question.
But it's hard to serve with.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

Being an inner blade, there's a real sense of grip on the ball, and combined with the rubber, I can produce shots that even surprise me.
It doesn't fly quite as much as ZLC, so it's also easy to block with.
The price isn't too high compared to recent player-model blades either, so I can recommend it.
That said, at an average of 94g it's quite heavy, and you need a certain amount of strength to swing through properly, so in that sense it might be a blade that picks its user.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It pairs well with G1. The speed is decent, but loop drives really dig in deep. It's a bit on the heavy side and the blade is wide, so blocking was easy.
It's a really good racket, definitely give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
