I’ve tried bty timo ball alc, tb spirit, bty amultard, and bty viscaria. Out of all of them, I think the iolite is the best! I got this item unintentionally. Even though it is a second hand item, it has greatly benefited my performance. Unfortunately, it is no longer being produced.

I’m playing with one side with short pips and the other side with long pips. It’s stiff, fast, and has very good control.

I’ve had this for more than a decade. I paired it with narucross, mxp and recently combined it with t05 and rozena. It’s absolutely amazing. I must say the control with t05 is unexpectedly high.

I can’t believe there are only two reviews of this wonder so far. Iolite is the Holy Grail for those addicted to speed who want to keep a nice and soft touch. I’ve already tried to find another composite blade with the same characteristics Iolite has (super fast, stiff as a brick, and soft) but failed. Iolite is a one-of-a-kind blade. I’m playing one side with short pips, the other side inverted. It’s a true offensive weapon. And there’s the bonus of the incredible nice sound it makes at every stroke. I just don’t understand the reason BTY stopped manufacturing these types of blades, with a thick kiri center, composite, and hinoki outer plies. Moonbeam was another wonderful blade that was discontinued without a replacement.
