No matter how the wind blows at your back or in your face,
no matter how talented you are,
no matter how much training is required of you,
moving forward single mindedly and relentlessly,
that's what makes a true athlete.
To accelerate progress, to surpass hurdles,
sharpen skills, upgrade tactics, build strength, roar for encouragement,
and also refine the gear.
All of these are to exceed limits, to bring glory to the future self.
Far ahead, reaching for new height.
With the new racket in hand, unleash the force from the inner side.
The Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce Super ALC has arrived.
This blade features a high reaction. I feel I can create a faster shot than before. I’ve been working on improving my forehand recently. Now, I can take advantage of the forehand to forehand rallies without relying on my backhand too much.
Tomokazu Harimoto
Thanks to its stability, it gives me the feeling that I can control my shots well despite its high bounce.

When Super ALC
meets Innerfiber
— Listen to voices, respond to expectations
The Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce Super ALC is a blade developed to meet Tomokazu Harimoto's requirement for more powerful shots. Based on the Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce ALC, this new blade not only upgrades its artificial fiber to Super Arylate-Carbon, but also features finely retuned plywood composition, achieving the performance and feel Harimoto has been pursuing.
Harimoto wasn't the only one seeking this performance. Since the release of Viscaria Super ALC and Fan Zhendong Super ALC in 2022, which received high praise for their excellent bounce and feeling, expectations have been rising for the release of blade that features Super Arylate-Carbon with Innerfiber ply orientation.
Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce Super ALC, the blade that meets both Harimoto's request and market expectations, now finally available!
Making the impossible
possible
Making the impossible possible
Featuring two outer wood plies providing a longer dwell time, Super Arylate-Carbon then rebounds the ball back at full power.
By using densely woven fibers and adjusting the ratio of Arylate and Carbon, Super Arylate-Carbon achieves both high bounce and low vibration properties. Coupled with Innerfiber orientation that enhances holding the ball at contact, the result is a successful delivery of both powerful attack capabilities and stability — attributes that typically oppose each other.
Bouncy perfectly balanced with dwell time, this blade, optimized for Harimoto's playstyle, has made the impossible possible.
No compromise on
bounce or weight
No compromise on bounce or weight
Meticulous attention has been paid to the weight of this blade. The specifications were adjusted repeatedly to achieve the perfect balance between speed and weight, ensuring it doesn't become too heavy. While maintaining the power Harimoto demands, we've achieved a weight range that appeals to a broader range of players.
Deeply penetrating arc
With the safe trajectory over the net Innerfiber provides, plus Super Arylate-Carbon's excellent bounce, this new combination gives players the ability to produce shots that penetrate deeply into the opponent's court.
Dominate fast and powerful rallies, whether initiating or countering
With the development of equipment and skills, pure defensive plays like blocking have become less common during rallies. Instead, there is an increase in breathtaking and astonishingly fast-paced, powerful exchanges of aggressive shots.
The Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce Super ALC is the perfect answer for players who want to complement their power with equipment that provides extra speed, while still maintaining that crucial feeling of holding the ball, to cope with fast-paced rallies close to the table.
This blade not only allows you to launch powerful and stable attacks first, but it also provides the confidence to actively seek counterattack opportunities when your opponent takes the initiative. With its excellent ball holding, stable and powerful counterattacks, the Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce Super ALC helps you dominate numerous high-level rallies and become the highlight of astonishing plays.

Four lineups with larger blade
heads and good dwell
By placing the artificial fibers near the center ply and slightly enlarging the blade head*,
the ability to hold the ball is enhanced, bringing more stability for counterattacking close to the table.
Additionally, the slightly increased head size also adds a bit more weight*,
making it harder for the opponent's shots to overpower you while increasing the power of your own shots.

Bounce and Stability

Innerforce Super ALC
The emergence of Super Arylate-Carbon has provided players with a blade that possesses both high reaction and low vibration properties. The slightly larger blade head* and Innerfiber structure increase dwell time. The speed potential and stability, which are often considered mutually exclusive, are successfully integrated through the combination of these features. Like the superstar Harimoto siblings, this blade is ideal for players seeking a stable and powerful counterattack close to the table.

Harimoto Tomokazu
Innerforce Super ZLC
Created in cooperation with Japan’s Superstar Tomokazu Harimoto. This model has a slightly larger blade* than regular blades and the highest reaction property among the Innerfiber-structure blades. We recommend the blade for the player who seeks the power of Super ZL-Carbon and the feeling of “holding the ball” on the racket.

Bounce and Lightweight

Innerforce ZLC
The less vibration and more power are realized by designing the blade slightly larger than Innerforce Layer ZLC*. This blade is recommended for the players who aim for offensive play close to the table using the banana-flick and counter top-spin.

The driving force engraved on the racket
The shining golden lens on the handle features an engraving of a bow with arrows, from Harimoto's family name in Chinese characters. This symbolizes the Harimoto family's united effort to reach the top, with siblings pushing each other and parents supporting their careers. When facing an opponent across the court, it serves as a powerful reminder that provides a sense of unwavering support from the family.
