Butterfly Timo Boll OFF-
Blade description:
The Timo Boll Off- is a 5-ply all-wood blade designed primarily for players seeking a strategic, control-oriented game. It is characterized by its predictable response across various strokes, making it a reliable tool for developing technique, soft-touch shots, and consistent blocking. The blade features a wide sweet spot and an even weight distribution, which contributes to its balanced feel during play.
Performance and Feel
The blade is best suited for brush looping and controlled play rather than high-speed offensive maneuvers. Users report that it lacks a high-gear performance, resulting in limited power for finishing points, which positions it more as an allround blade despite its name. The feedback provided is described as high-quality, often compared to high-end acoustic blades, though it remains notably less stiff. While the flared handle is widely praised for its ergonomics and comfort, some reports indicate that the handle contains a hollow space, and there are noted inconsistencies in manufacturing quality regarding the bonding of the wood plies.

The Timo Boll Off- is the perfect blade for me. I consider myself a beginner/intermediate player with a rating of 1250. Thanks to the versatility of this blade, I have mastered a wide range of techniques. It strikes the perfect balance between speed and control.
I initially used EKRips soft to develop my technique. However, after a few months, I switched to a combination of Tenergy 05 on my forehand and Donic Bluefire JP03 on my backhand. This new setup has proven to be incredibly effective, enabling me to consistently defeat intermediate-level opponents who previously dominated me.
The Timo Boll Off- has significantly accelerated my progress, and I intend to continue using it even as I advance to higher skill levels. I highly recommend this blade to any player looking to improve their game. The Timo Boll Off- is undoubtedly a winner!

Con dos T05, va muy bien de topspin, control y bloqueo. Es divertido jugar con esta combinación, aunque no sea muy rápida.

Very good all-around blade. It’s better to choose this blade for an all-around game, even though it’s rated off-. It’s very easy to make loops with, excels in soft touch and block. The sweet spot is wide, and the flared handle is very comfortable to hold.
