Blade description:

The Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit is a renowned table tennis blade widely appreciated for its exceptional balance of speed, control, and feel. This blade is made of a composite structure featuring 5 wood plies, including Koto and Limba, combined with 2 layers of arylate-carbon (ALC). Its construction results in a blade that excels in offensive gameplay while still maintaining solid control, making it a popular choice among intermediate to advanced players. The Timo Boll Spirit is designed for those who enjoy an aggressive playing style and are looking for a blade that offers great responsiveness.

Weighing in at around 89 grams, the Timo Boll Spirit is categorized as a medium-weight blade. Its thickness of approximately 5.7 mm contributes to a sturdy feel during play. The blade’s stiffness rating of 5.5 provides a good level of feedback without excessive vibration, making it easier to execute precise shots. The relatively low dwell time means that players who prefer quick shots and fast exchanges will find this blade particularly advantageous.

The flexibility of the Timo Boll Spirit is characterized as relatively stiff, which complements aggressive strokes such as looping, driving, and smashing. However, this can lead to a somewhat muted feeling with certain rubbers, particularly softer or tensor varieties. Players who prioritize feel might prefer pairing it with harder rubbers for improved feedback. Alternatives to the Timo Boll Spirit include the Butterfly Timo Boll ALC, which is slightly faster but offers less control, and other popular models like the Stiga Infinity VPS or the Butterfly Primorac, which provide different speed and control dynamics at a lower price point. Overall, the Timo Boll Spirit remains a classic, combining advanced materials with a design that supports diverse playing styles.
