Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC CS – Offensive Penhold Blade Used by Tomokazu Harimoto

The Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC CS is designed for and used by Japanese star Tomokazu Harimoto. Built with Arylate‑Carbon (ALC) fiber and Innerforce construction, it offers moderate speed with superior ball‑grasping feel. Compared to the Innerforce Layer ALC, this blade features a slightly larger head size, providing added power for aggressive forehand and backhand play.

Tailored for Chinese penhold grip, the CS version features a shorter, conical handle for firm grip and precision. Crafted in Japan, the Harimoto Innerforce ALC CS combines Butterfly’s renowned craftsmanship with modern offensive performance, making it ideal for penhold players who thrive on spin‑based rallies and controlled attacking strokes.
