TOMOKAZU HARIMOTO [JPN] Champion Pro Special – Butterfly

Champion Pro Special paddle for Japan's TOMOKAZU HARIMOTO, currently playing with the Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC blade (flared handle), assembled with black and red Butterfly Zyre-03 (2.5mm sponge) rubber.

THE BLADE:The Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC blade is developed with and used by Tomokazu Harimoto. It is similar to the Innerforce Layer ALC with moderate speed and the "feeling of grasping the ball", although the blade size was designed slightly larger. It is a blade that supports aggressive forehand and backhand play.

BLACK & RED RUBBER:Butterfly Zyre Is Here To Redefine The Shape Of Strength! Developed from an unprecedented perspective, with a low-profile, high-density pimple structure. The result of this bold innovation - spin like never before. Lifting the trajectory higher, driving it deeper, elevating the quality of both finishing shots and rally control. Shots transform, new tactics emerge, the path of growth expands. This is where strength takes a new shape.

Butterfly Zyre-03 rubber is composed of “Ricosheet”, a top sheet with dense, low pimples, and an extremely thick sponge. In addition to this distinctive structure, this rubber has a top sheet compound with strengthened resistance to abrasion, an excellent feeling of holding the ball, and a harder Spring Sponge X. Adopting pimple code No. 303 which draws out power with spin, Zyre-03 enables shots that penetrate deep into the opponent’s side of the table with a dramatic arced trajectory. This is recommended for players who wish to dominate rallies with powerful, spin-heavy shots.
