Champion Pro Special paddle for Japan's Tomokazu Harimoto, currently playing with the Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC blade (flared handle), assembled with black Butterfly Dignics 09C (2.1mm) and red Dignics 05 rubber (2.1mm sponge).
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 RUBBER: Butterfly Dignics 09C, with the upgraded friction High Tension features, guides a player who expects the unique feeling of a friction rubber to new heights. Dignics 09C... Overpowering Evolution. The essence is the combination of Spring Sponge X - the advanced version of Spring Sponge which has more elasticity; the uniquely composed top sheet - with strengthened abrasion - proves great resistance on the surface, providing the feeling of holding the ball at impact. Compatible friction and a high level bounce are realized thanks to the synergy effect between the original top sheet and a rather hard Spring Sponge X (a little harder than Tenergy 05 Hard), to bring out the features of a friction rubber while upgrading the High Tension effect.
RED RUBBER: Butterfly Dignics 05 guides your play to a more advanced level. The essence is the combination of Spring Sponge X, the advanced version of Spring Sponge which has more elasticity; the uniquely composed top sheet, with strengthened abrasion, proves great resistance on the surface, providing the feeling of holding the ball at impact. Adopting pimples code No.05, recognized for its high spin performance, DIGNICS 05 is recommended for the player who seeks to generate a high level attacking play imparting powerful topspin, as well as counter topspin play, both close to the table and at mid distance.
