I finally tried mine. Great balance of control vs. speed, though a bit heavier than my 1st gen IF ALC, it feels more balanced with better weight distribution (so feels less heavy), and it seems to have a bit more control, same speed. The FL handle is very comfortable, smooth yet not slippery, maybe a tad bigger than the IF ALC and definitely more comfortable.
For rubber combinations, i'm using Tenergy 64 on the FH and 64 FX on the BH, works great, any rubber that has your preference will do great on this blade.
I can be said as an intermediate player, who’s still learning the techniques and tactics in table tennis. I’m reli in love with this blade. But being an intermediate player who’s still learning may I know if this balde might fix with me. I also prefer zhang jike alc, stiga infinity vps V, hurricane long 5 and most of all the harimoto innerforce alc.
Could u recommend some blades and rubbers for intermediates as well. Thank u!

test tonight with a t05 1.7mm and a fastarc p1 2mm
The total weight is 190 grams, I find it heavy but the racket seems balanced in the hand.

You must have got a really heavy one, but yea, the Harimoto seems quite balanced.
My weighs 91g, 181g for my total setup, both rubbers in 1.9mm. I've got a lighter one on the way.

The target weight for the Harimoto ALC is 94 grams according to Butterfly‘s Japanese Homepage. It’s basically an innerforce Layer ALC with a bigger face, so the weight should be in that range.

Yea, Butterfly Japan listed it at 88g before it came out but quickly changed it to 94g as they were coming out heavier than they anticipated. Most of them are 93-95g, hard to find one bellow 91g.

Yes, as detailed earlier in the thread it's just like the Innerforce ALC but with a slightly larger head (158 x 152 mm).

I currently use a DHS301 which some say is the same as a Butterfly Innerforce without the price tag. Does that make it the same as a Harimoto without the cost or fancy name. Has anyone compared the 301 and is it a good choice for anyone who would like a Harimoto or similar but has limited funds.
