    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.

      This blade suits rubbers with a harder topsheet. Rubbers where the ball sinks deep into the sponge didn't leave a great impression.

      It really does feel similar to the Innerforce Layer ALC. There's no technique that feels hard to pull off. The feel is very woody. Paired with Dignics 05, the topspin drive is insane.

      I bought this together with Dignics.
      My blade progression has been:
      Innerforce ALC

      Viscaria

      Harimoto Innerforce ALC.

      Probably because the blade is bigger than the Innerforce ALC, it holds the ball quite well and lets you generate a lot of spin,
      and it's easy to place stops and flicks precisely in the short game,
      but compared to an outer carbon blade, I did notice that the power on a single shot drops off a bit even with Dignics on it.
      I feel like it's lacking a bit as a finishing shot,
      but overall I think it's an extremely well-balanced blade.

      Also, the racket weighs a heavier 91g, and the balance point is slightly below center, so I use power tape on the tip to adjust it.

      I'd like to put in a bit more time with it before drawing final conclusions.

      Not too strong myself (Experience: 4〜5 years) Hmm?

      Player reviews

      Easy to use, but the grip is long, and it doesn't fly that much — I think it's hard to handle if you don't have much power.

      I think this pairs incredibly well with Dignics 05! Every technique feels easy to pull off! There's really nothing to say except that it's just good.

      No one (Experience: 6〜10 years) Disappointing

      Player reviews

      This was a demo unit.

      The feel when hitting is like an inner ALC with a new design.
      If the grip were the same as the Viscaria, it would've been perfect.

      Player reviews

      It's basically the same as the Innerforce, as expected. I heard the blade got a bit bigger though. The arc on the topspin drive is insane. But somehow it's still stable. I guess that's the ALC talking? Lol
      It's not unusable away from the table, but for that you'd probably be better off with a blade that really flies.
