Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce Super ZLC – Table Tennis Blade

Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce Super ZLC – Table Tennis Blade

Product Experience Created in cooperation with Japan’s superstar Tomokazu Harimoto, this signature blade is a pinnacle of modern composite engineering. It represents the ultimate evolution of the Innerfiber structure, merging a slightly larger blade head with the extraordinary power of Super ZL-Carbon. Designed for the aggressive player who demands both explosive energy and maximum dwell time, this blade provides the sensation of “holding the ball” before catapulting it forward with the highest reaction property in its class.

Core Characteristics

• Super ZL-Carbon Integration: Features a high-density weave of carbon and ZL-fiber for a massive sweet spot and unmatched rebound speed.

• Innerfiber Construction: The composite layers are placed directly over the core, providing an all-wood feel during soft contact and carbon power during heavy strokes.

• Enlarged Blade Geometry: Designed with a slightly larger head size to increase stability and optimize the weight distribution for powerful counter-looping.

• Maximum Reaction Property: Holds the highest speed rating among Butterfly’s Innerfiber blades, ensuring world-class offensive potential.

• Enhanced Ball Retention: Specifically tuned to increase “dwell time,” allowing players to generate immense spin even at high velocities.

Key Performance Highlights

• The Super ZLC Advantage: By utilizing Super ZL-Carbon, this blade provides a wider effective hitting area than standard ZLC models. This ensures that even shots caught slightly out of position retain professional-level power and precision, making it incredibly reliable under pressure.

• Strategic Innerfiber Placement: Unlike “outer” carbon blades that feel stiff immediately, the Innerfiber structure keeps the carbon away from the surface. This allows you to “feel” the wood during service and touch play, only engaging the Super ZLC’s explosive speed when you commit to a full offensive swing.

• Tomokazu Harimoto’s Signature Feel: Engineered to suit a close-to-the-table, high-frequency attacking game, the blade’s slightly larger head provides a solid, dampened sensation. This reduces “kickback” during heavy exchanges, allowing for the precise, controlled counter-hits that define Harimoto’s playing style.

• Superior Spin-to-Speed Balance: The unique combination of high-rebound fibers and deep-layer placement allows for a long trajectory with heavy topspin. It rewards players who use full-body rotation, providing the “grabbing” sensation needed to spin the ball safely over the net before it accelerates toward the opponent’s side.
