This blade can pretty good for allround game if you pick one with 85-86 gram of weight and put not the fastest rubbers on it. Very good control. But if you pick some of 87+ grams with dignics rubbers it became a rocket launcher ( ofc if you have proper technique and physique abilities ).
My blade is 87 grams with dignics 09c forehand, and dignics 05 backhand. Perfect balance of speed and control. Strong loop/counterloop and blocking this is bread and butter of these one. If you into that style of play - go for it. Not for flat hitting or totally new players. Will be my spare blade with apolonia zlc for now, lets see how it goes.

Used by Tomokazu Harimoto, this blade is dedicated to his playing style: close-to-the-table controlled placement, with opportunistic power-looping attack, hence coming with limba outer supported by InnerLayer ALC for control and looping, on a larger footprint for close-to-the-table blocking and counterattack. Suggest pairing forehand rubber with harder sponge (i.e. MX-P 50) for power-looping attack and backhand rubber with spin-oriented features (i.e. EL-S) for controlled placement. Balanced, consistent, simplistic design highlighting his family value.
I am using this blade with Tenergy 05(FH) and Tenergy 05 FX(BH) for 7 months. The backhand is awesome and also the blade generates much spin on both sides.
I hate when someone says it is slow. Yes, it is slow for you who play using soft ESN rubber. Then try hard rubber such as Tenergy 05 hard, Chinese rubber. And you will love it. For me, it is the best ALC blade I ever tried. Better than new product of viscaria,timoboll,zlc,etc. (Old products are awesome btw)
Love this blade, very good construction, weight is not too heavy despite the larger head size, mine weighed 86g. Good feel of the ball just like Innerforce Layer ALC.
Mine came at 83 g, purchased on the official butterfly website, and weighs 190 g with dignics 09c on both sides.
I'm an amature who's played for ~ 300 hours so far. I bought this blade (instead of Fan Zhendong ALC) mostly because I share the same family name, zhang, and was so impressed by the logo. My previous racket is DHS 8002 (with H3 & H8). Changing to this blade & rubber was obviously a big improvement. Even tho, it is actually slower, it gives me a lot more control and much higher arc. I don't mind it's slower, I feel the speed actually suits my level better.
The vibration from the blade feels a lot more crispy and gives me more and better feedback. I just feel more comfortable and confident playing with it. Definitely an ideal blade for people who value control/spin over speed.

I use the harimoto with two joola rhyzen zgr, I can tell you guys with firmness that it was the best blade I've ever used, better than timoboll alc, better than viscaria, better than primorac carbon..., but harimoto requires a hard rubber , if you use a soft rubber your racket will be slow, the harimoto has a lot of topspin, perfect for topspin attackers but without giving up a good block, just perfect
All wood feel but carbon kicks in when you hit it hard. Can be used by BEGINNERS when paired with Rozena rubbers believe me. This can be your one and only blade for the rest of your TT life
The Harimoto blade is a soft and not hard blade blade not faster than Viscaria or timo boll ALC but when it comes to spin it creates tons of spin specially when it comes to your loop and top spins
I recommend to use a Hard sponge rubbers in FH because its a flexible blade, And medium on BH.

Used for 6m with Rasanter R47 and Gewo ELPro 43. First time I suffered from weak push then changed my technik and it goes better. Dwell time on this blade allows to creat spin on fast topspins. Hand is perfect for my average palm.
This very slow blade is ok, even pretty good, but not even close to a very good rating because it is so overpriced, it is ridiculus. Had it been 100 dollars, its a 10. But not at 250 dollars. Go and buy a Nittaku instead, and be happy, feel the feeling.
Played one that belongs to a friend. Overpriced as any Butterfly product. I Have had before the composite blades andro treiber z, donic waldner carbon senso and dhs hurricane 301 wich is hinoki, limba and koto outer layer respective and all of these are much better.
I will say this is spin machine. This blade has produce a tons of spin. I used dignics 09c FH, and tenergy 05fx BH.
Very crisp feelings when blocking. But if you looking a direct trajectory shoot, it needs more adjustment. Cz the softer wood and alc carbon posisition give more dwell time.

Mine is 88 grams. Rasanter R48 FH and Tenergy 19 BH. I came from Lin Gaoyuan ALC. From my style and level, this blade is perfect.
Great control, spin but still speedy enough. Great for flicks, loops and even flat shots with some spin.
Much controllable but if paired with hard 48-52 degree rubbers, speed and spin are perfect.
Dignics 05 is too expensive but perfect. Victas V22 will be my next forehand rubber. This is quite similar to D05.
I'll try Joola Dynarys ACC on backhand instead of T19. Hope this setup will do fine.

Thanks for the team for assembling the product. Will begin back training next week.
I like this blade better than viscaria for my game. I am using it with Rozena, both sides.
Key points:
BIgger head makes it head heavy, better for grip.
Feeling is still crisp and responsive but a little more controlable, specialy blocking heavy topspins and fast balls.
Handle is thick enough.
I tried viscaria, tbs old and new, xiom ignito, Primorac carbon, p700 and I am settling for the harimoto along rozena. This combinations gives me a good medium, not too harsh not mushy feel, adequate speed close and medium distances, good spin and control. Totally worth the 135 dollars on Prott.

"just Derevyanchen"Tested 4 weeks with TENERGY 05, rasanter r42-very low control, low speed,
slow ineffective strikes, the ball does not fly, a rough short game,
bad ball feeling,all elements of the game are sluggish,the most unfortunate board Butterfly
- is thrown money and time. Corbel SK7 is much better!
very heavy weight 91g, due to the large size the large weight of the
rubber.A trap for fools.
Do not trust advertising!!!

I find this true "defensive" blades are a bit too slow for my "A" game style mainly that off attack, attack, attack!, i wouldnt reccomend it for this price tag.
