Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit

Wonderful blade. It’s really nice for blocking as well as other aspects such as looping, serving, and smashing. I always try changing to different blades but always seem to come back to the Spirit every time.

TBS w/ TO5…heavy for teens, but give good feel and speed. Recommended for adult players due to heaviness.

After trying the blade, which I purchased second-hand, for a week, I must say that I like it. Compared to Ovtcharov Donic 1 senso, the weight is more balanced towards the handle and provides a great feel of the ball. Blocking became much easier and more controllable. Paired with Nittaku Sieger on my BH, it’s a great match compared to my previous rubbers. On FH, I am trying Victas Triple double extra. It’s still too early for a final judgment, but from the first impression, I miss the tensor feel of the rubber, which would most likely pair very well with the super tacky top sheet. I still prefer Bluegrip C1 on my FH. However, with time and technique adjustments, I might reconsider my opinion.

Vispower PP OR TB ALC, Viscaria and Spirit.

- TB ALC: The stiffest and glass feeling but all-round playing. - Vispower: The slowest and the flexiest but the most empty and spinny. - Spirit: The heaviest, the hardest, and slow as Vispower. - Viscaria: The fastest and flexy, medium soft, crispy but less than TB ALC.

This is a very good blade! It has a nice balance of speed and control, and it’s very well-made. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the blade itself is very durable. I’ve used it for several months now, and it shows no signs of wear or tear.

If I had to make one criticism, it would be that the blade is a little bit heavy. But overall, I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good table tennis blade.

This blade excels in all aspects. It offers an exceptional balance of speed and control, making it an ideal choice for players of all levels. Among the many blades I’ve tried, this one stands out as the most impressive.

The blade measures 157x150mm. Its weight, hardness, and stiffness contribute to easy blocking and chopping, but it may cause a less sensitive touch and lower dwell time. Tensor rubbers further reduce the feel, making net play challenging. Chinese rubbers, with their tackiness and weight, enhance control and feedback but may alter the balance towards the blade’s head. Butterfly rubbers provide a more balanced feel. Yasaka rubbers, such as Rakza 7, help maintain a lighter racket.

Timo Boll Alc’s handle weight is distributed more evenly, reducing head heaviness. The Spirit blade exhibits fast speed, even at a distance, but requires proper technique and physical strength. Its flared handle is slightly narrow and slippery in the upper portion. Despite frequent rubber changes, there are no signs of splinters, indicating durable craftsmanship.

With slow rubbers, the blade behaves as an all-round option. Tensor rubbers can significantly increase its speed. It is recommended to start with control-oriented, slow rubbers and gradually upgrade to faster ones. This blade is suitable for intermediate to advanced players.

While highly rated, it may be overpriced compared to alternatives such as the Butterfly Petr Korbel and Primorac, or the Stiga Infinity VPS, which offer similar performance at a more affordable cost.

Butterfly Zhang Jike ZLC is a professional table tennis blade for offensive play. It is characterized by its large sweet spot, which gives players more control and precision when striking the ball. The blade is also known for its good speed and spin, making it a great choice for players who like to play aggressively. The blade is slightly heavier than average, but this provides good stability and helps to absorb vibrations from the ball, giving players more control over their shots.

The Butterfly Timo Boll ALC is another professional table tennis blade that is designed for offensive play. It is slightly lighter than the Zhang Jike ZLC, but it still provides good stability and control. The ALC blade is also known for its excellent speed and spin, making it a good choice for players who like to play an aggressive game. The blade is slightly less forgiving than the Zhang Jike ZLC, but it provides more power and speed.

The Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive is a table tennis blade that is designed for all-around play. It is slightly heavier than the Butterfly blades, but it provides good balance and control. The blade is known for its good speed and spin, making it a good choice for players who like to play a variety of shots. The blade is also very durable, which makes it a good choice for players who play a lot.

The Nittaku Acoustic Carbon is a table tennis blade that is designed for attacking play. It is slightly lighter than the Yasaka blade, but it still provides good stability and control. The Acoustic Carbon blade is known for its excellent speed and spin, making it a good choice for players who like to play an aggressive game. The blade is also very durable, which makes it a good choice for players who play a lot.

The blade is consistently associated with superior spin, speed, and control for advanced players.

The blade that I like the most features a stunning backhand flick effect and good control. Generating great spin is effortless.

The blade excels in backhand flicks, showcasing a stunning effect. Additionally, it offers excellent control, making it a reliable choice for players seeking precision. Spin generation is effortless with this blade, further enhancing its versatility.

Wonderful blade. Mine is 93 grams. On the forehand, I use DHS H8 and on the backhand, I use Rasant Beat. Topspin versus backspin on the forehand, block and punch with the backhand are quite easy. The speed-to-control ratio is extremely high. I can’t miss any shot with this blade.

One of the best blades, fast but not too fast. Great for blocking and counter-attacking, excellent for looping. Short game play is good, but may require a bit of practice. Pairs best with soft rubbers like T05 FX.

I have used this blade with Tibhar Aurus and Aurus Soft; it’s a deadly combination. I will rate it on every aspect.

Overall First Impression: Nice size and weight (~90g), very well balanced. Adjusted very easily. I think the balance between Off (Speed, Spin) and Control allows the player to impose their style directly upon the racquet rather than the other way around.

Handle: I have slightly above average hands and thought the TBZLC was more comfortable. I ordered a butterfly grip tape for my TBS…huge difference, much more comfortable, and gave me a better grasp of the paddle (I even liked it better than the TBZLC without the grip tape, so overall I think if you have a normal hand size it should be fine, otherwise a little grip tape made a significant difference)

Speed: Slower than I thought for a a/c blade but again it allows you to control the shot without launching the ball. Don’t read this to mean it is slow!, its just not as fast as the ZLC, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing (Obviously the rubber you play with will make a difference). Great for close to table and mid distance. Looped well (work in progress so I cannot elaborate)

Spin: Again, just a well balance blade. With average stiffness and a medium hardness, your not going to be below or above par with the racquet alone. It will really depend on the rubber and style of play the one has.

Control: The above says it all! The balanced nature allows for a generally well controlled all around game

Overall: Great racquet to build a baseline from, especially if your starting out or upgrading (with an Off/All+ Style). Totally worth it and unless your switching from something specific (eg. a super fast or spinny blade and expecting that level of the same in TBS) you won’t be disappointed! 9/10 (assuming a perfect blade doesn’t exist).

The speed is moderate.

Timo Boll Spirit Blade Review

I’ve been playing with the Timo Boll Spirit blade for two years, using Tenergy 64 2.1 on the forehand and Tenergy 64 1.9 on the backhand. I was able to improve my ranking from 1400 to 2000 with this setup.

The Boll Spirit is a great blade, but it requires a high level of skill and technique to fully utilize its capabilities due to its stiffness. It has slightly less control compared to other blades like the Viscaria, which I recently switched to for better control.

The Boll Spirit excels in mid-distance play and is also good for lobbing. It’s a versatile blade that performs well in all areas, making it a great benchmark for comparing other blades.

If you’re looking for a blade to start with or move on to, the Boll Spirit is a good choice as it can be used as a reference point for assessing other blades.

The only downside of the Boll Spirit is that I initially lost some points due to the slightly reduced control compared to the Viscaria, but this issue can be overcome with practice and adjustment.

For me, it’s an overrated blade, but for most players, it’s the best choice because of the balance between speed and control. I had a problem with the third ball using Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 05 FX. I played with this blade for one season with a score of 16:4, but I felt handicapped. After changing to Timo Boll T5000, I didn’t have that problem.

The Best Timo Boll Spirit:

FH - Tenergy 05 BH - Tenergy 64

The Timo Boll Spirit is an excellent blade for offensive players who prioritize topspin and looping. It offers great control, enabling players to execute effective chops. This versatility makes it an all-around blade that caters to a wide range of playstyles.

That revelation! After I spent a lot of money on expensive blades (Liu Shiwen, Barwell Fleet, TB ZLF, etc.) and not helped in any way, I managed to get my hands on a Spirit! Gorgeous control, a bow to topspin like we’ve never seen… really great sound, a super blade! FH 05/BH 64.

The TBS spirit is just like the Timo Boll ALC (you can see my review of this blade). My blade was selected by a Chinese pro player in France, 85-86 grams, perfect balance. Today, this blade is the best deal from all Butterfly Arylate carbon blades, less expensive than Viscaria or TB-ALC, and not even speaking of ZJK-ALC. So, just go for it.

The outer koto is chosen to be a bit more hard than the outer koto of Viscaria, so at the same weight, the TBS is faster than Viscaria and offers more power with a bit more stiffness.

Due to the fact that you can get a blade of the same quality as Viscaria or TB-ALC, only cheaper, go for the classic TBS if you are a looper and want to experience the Arylate-carbon feel and power. Also, if the blade had not been used by so many pro players, it surely would have been removed from the BTY catalogue, since it is the only Arylate-Carbon blade less than 100 euros, generating far less profit per blade than the other Arylate-Carbon blades (TB-ALC is 130 euros, same for Viscaria, and ZJK).

This is an excellent blade. I love it.

The best racket I have ever used. I have used it with a black metal tag and found it to be a powerful blade with a lot of control. I love it so much.

I cannot envision ever playing with another blade. I own two. It suits and complements my game, and, in my opinion, is still the best composite blade on the market.

Wow! The best blade for me. I’ve used Primo allwood Stiga infinity Vps Innerforce tamca5000. This blade is a balanced blade. It needs mid rubbers for backhand and hard rubber in forehand.

A well-built blade as expected. My blade is 86g ST, and it is still fast but not too fast. It has a nice feel and touch. It plays a bit like an all-wood blade in the short game, but when you push it, it has a burst of power, and you can feel the carbon.

I think the reason why many people like this blade is that you can perform all kinds of strokes very well with it. The blade is known for looping. I think it’s okay, but surprisingly, I can confirm that Tibhar Stratus Power Wood is much easier to use with an even higher arc with the same rubber test. TSPW also plays similarly to TBS, but it is a touch slower, making it very hard to tell the difference.

Overall, TBS is the best blade in my collection of composite blades that I have.

Not good for beginners. Features a large sweet spot, making it great for all strokes. However, its strength lies in producing very strong loops and counters. The flared handle should be a bit bigger. The straight handle has a square shape, and an oval straight handle would appeal to more players. A great blade by any measure.

Update: The FL version is usually lighter than the ST version by 3-4 grams. TBS works best with medium to soft rubbers due to the koto outer plys. This blade has great balance in the FL version.

Used by the women’s Mexican champion Yadira Silva and many high-level players around the world. Fantastic with T05FX or T64FX. Some say this blade is too slow. However, this is not the case at all; players who make this claim likely have poor technique and poor arm/hand speed.

Compared to BTY M. Maze, it has a slightly harder feel upon ball impact and shares the same medium-fast speed range. A Butterfly icon of a blade, upgraded to 10/10.

My blade is Timo Ball Spirit with Butterfly Tenergy 64 on FH, and Butterfly Tenergy 25 FX on BH.

I used to play with Timo Boll Spirit! Great blade - loved it!

I believe this blade is an excellent choice for loopers, but it also excels in other areas of table tennis. Despite its exceptional control, it does not compromise touch shots or short game. I have paired it with T05 and T80 rubbers, and the results have been explosive. I highly recommend giving this blade a try. Slight adjustments to the phrasing may be necessary.

I bought it today and just played with it. Wow, what a blade! I’m angry with myself that I hesitated and didn’t buy it last year. I play with Tenergy 05 on both sides. I feared if it would be too fast with this rubber, but no. It is excellent for an all-round attacking player and made for close-to-table and mid-distance play. It has very good control, and you have no problem blocking. Looping is very easy. I love top-spinning with it. It is just a dream. It is a little bit expensive, but it’s worth its price.

Classic Blade

This blade is incredibly balanced and stable, allowing for effortless topspin and smash shots. Its serves and blocks are also highly effective.

Pushing Technique

Pushing with this blade may require some adjustment, as the ball tends to bounce slightly higher.

Overall Impression

With the exception of the minor adjustment required for pushing, this blade is nearly perfect.

I love playing with this blade, especially for topspin. It freely generates spin due to its springy nature.

The blade is slightly flexible and feels good during normal play and power loop. I’ve been playing with this for 2 months, and so far it hasn’t shown any damage, indicating good durability.

A slight drawback of this blade is that it is slightly heavy, but the weight helps with power loop.

Overall, I am satisfied with this blade and would recommend it to anyone looking for a blade that can generate spin.

This blade possesses excellent balance, which instills confidence during gameplay. It exhibits exceptional precision and responsiveness during looping techniques. I would venture to say that it is the most well-balanced blade I have ever used. Its versatility allows for effective chopping, defense, and offense, making it a truly remarkable blade.

Hi everyone. I have played only a few hours with it so far, but my first impressions are great. The most exciting characteristic of it is that when you swing its power grows exponentially to some extent without losing control.

Read a lot of good reviews about this blade, and I decided to upgrade to Timo Boll Spirit blade with T-05 FX in the backhand and T-25 FX in the forehand. I was very eager to play with the 10-year-old at my club and lost the first three out of five matches. What a blade!

Great blade, perfectly balanced in all respects. I have used many blades during my 35 years of play, and this is the best controlled blade I have ever come across. It is slightly costly, but it is worth the investment.

I use this blade with Sriver G2 (2.1) on the forehand and Sriver EL (2.1) on the backhand. It’s a great blade for serving, looping, and blocking. The build quality is excellent, earning a rating of 10/10. I love it and believe it’s worth the money spent.

With T-05 FX on the backhand and T-25 FX on the forehand, that blade is awesome, providing good velocity and control. It is perfect for loops and smashes, offering excellent performance. Overall, it deserves a highly positive rating of good+++.

This is a great blade with good speed when combined with Hexer Powersponge rubbers. It also provides excellent control. I love using this blade.

This is the most amazing and most balanced blade I have ever used. It is highly recommended for any type of player. All one needs to do is match the right rubbers to it for their game and this blade will become adaptable to anyone. It is best for rallying.

The blade is perfect for looping off play. It has a good balance between speed and control, making it ideal for intermediate players. The handle is comfortable to hold and the blade is well-made. Overall, this is a great blade for the price.

I purchased this blade yesterday, and I must say I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. It offers a fantastic balance of control and speed, making it a delight to play with. For my forehand shots, I opted for the Stiga Boost TC rubber, while for my backhand, I chose the Yasaka Mark V. This combination has proven to be an excellent match for me, enhancing both the accuracy and power of my shots. Overall, I highly recommend this blade to anyone seeking a combination of control and speed. It has significantly improved my gameplay, and I am thoroughly satisfied with its performance.

I have studied the slightly different characteristics between the 2 Timo Boll ALC versions since 2008 when I first bought my first TBS.

Many people believe they are the same blades made by Butterfly for marketing purposes or different price points. However, that is not true. I can tell you that there are differences between the two.

Let’s examine the plys’ construction:

Koto-ALC-Limba-Kiri-Limba-ALC-Koto (The Kiri core of the ALC is harder than the TBS)

The materials used in both blades appear to be the same, and even the head size and thickness are identical. However, upon closer inspection, you will notice that the arylate fiber (the blue lines we see from the side) in the ALC is 1.5mm, while in the TBS, it is 1.7mm. This difference makes the ALC slightly faster than the TBS since the ALC has less arylate and more carbon.

Another distinction is that the handle of the ALC is 2mm longer than the TBS. This design aims to move the weight balance back towards the handle, thereby increasing control.

This blade provides great control, making it ideal for loops.

My control has improved by 100% with this blade. It works superbly well with the Tenergry 05 FX and Tenergry 64. The speed doesn’t matter to me as the spin from the loops makes it hard for the opponent to return the ball.

Very nice feel but quite heavy. With this blade, you have to put 100% effort into every shot. Used Donic Copper rubbers, but not very good combo.

Amazing blade with exceptional control and speed. Looping is effortless, while blocking is equally effective.

This blade is perfect for all-around play as it is well-balanced and provides both power and control. It is a great choice for beginners and intermediate players who want to improve their game. While it is an excellent all-around blade, it does not excel in any particular area, making it a solid option for those who want a blade that performs well in all aspects of the game.

The blade is made of five-ply wood, which gives it a good feel and responsiveness. The outer plies are made of limba wood, which is known for its strength and durability. The core plies are made of ayous wood, which is a lightweight wood that provides good shock absorption. The combination of these woods creates a blade that is both powerful and stable.

The blade has a medium-thick handle, which is comfortable to hold. The handle is also flared, which provides a good grip and helps to prevent the blade from slipping out of your hand. The blade is also relatively lightweight, weighing in at only 85 grams. This makes it easy to maneuver and control, even for beginners.

Overall, this blade is a great choice for all-around play. It is well-balanced, provides both power and control, and is made of high-quality materials. It is also a good choice for beginners and intermediate players who want to improve their game.

Actually, it’s a good blade for all-around play.

It offers a good feeling and excellent control.

In my opinion, this blade is very good for beginners.

Dear Chinese friend, I did not mean to insult the Timo Boll racket.

Since it’s balanced in speed and control, it’s more than excellent.

It’s an excellent racket for beginners to train with. And for Timo Boll, I’m not talking about anything related to his skill level.

This blade was slightly too slow for me, but it was not so bad that I could not use it. The feel is there, but it comes across as damp. In other words, you do get feedback, but the feedback/feel is muffled. I will be picking something else. Right now, I am leaning towards the 655 WL from DHS.

So, maybe this Khayyal guy has played off+ style long enough to realize this blade is for beginners. You may have played an off+ blade, but that doesn’t mean this off- TBS is for beginners! The world number one, Mr. Ma Long, uses it.

This blade is of exceptional quality. I have experimented with numerous other blades, but this one surpasses them all in my estimation. Minor adjustments to the phrasing may be necessary.

One of the best blades out there, this blade is made from high-quality materials and is designed to provide excellent control and power. It is a great choice for players of all levels, and it is sure to help you improve your game.

Very stiff and hard blade. For me, 05-64 is not a perfect combination. Loop and drive better with softer rubber.

Very hard and stiff, but good relation of control and speed; for really offensive player who likes a hard touch.

The Timo Boll Spirit and Timo Boll Arylate blades are identical in construction, with five plies and two layers of Arylate Carbon. Their dimensions (157x150), thickness (5.7mm), and weight (90g) are also the same. Even Butterfly acknowledges their identical nature.

Despite this, the Timo Boll Arylate-Carbon (ALC) blade is priced significantly higher than the Spirit blade, despite offering no performance advantages. The author’s claim that the ALC is faster is unsubstantiated.

I personally use the Butterfly ZLC Zylon Carbon Blade with Tenergy 05 on my backhand and Tenergy 64 on my forehand for practice. When playing in matches, I switch to the Timo Boll Spirit blade with the same rubber setup.

While the Spirit blade is nominally slower than the ZLC setup, this difference is negligible and actually gives me an edge because I am accustomed to a slightly faster blade and can react more quickly.

Reiterating, the Timo Boll Spirit and Timo Boll Arylate-Carbon blades are essentially the same, offering no practical differences. By opting for the Spirit blade, you can save a significant amount of money without sacrificing any performance. I encourage you to conduct your research to verify my claims.

Nothing special about the blade. In my view, it’s a waste of money.

I have Timo Boll Spirit (TBS) and Michael Maze blades, both equipped with Bryce rubbers. Timo Boll Spirit is superior. Michael Maze has too much speed and less control.

TBS has better feel, less vibration, and more stability. TBS has better gear because of the Koto outer layers. Changing gear means changing speeds or switching from defense to attack, which is noticeably easier with TBS. Michael Maze has unnecessary speed and less control, contrary to what Butterfly’s website suggests. Many players in my club prefer to play with TBS.

More speed does not necessarily mean a better blade, as this example demonstrates. It makes sense that Michael Maze himself has switched from the Michael Maze blade to the TBS blade, primarily because of its better gear, more predictable shots, less vibration, and better feel, leading to more successful game play. Looping is also slightly easier with TBS.

I have a TBS and a Timo Boll ALC blade. Both blades are very good. The ALC has a slightly noticeably higher speed. However, the increased speed resulted in less control, not more as suggested on Butterfly’s website. Most of my club players would prefer to play with the TBS because the ALC has too much speed for the same or slightly less control. The TBS has a better feel. A new blade does not necessarily mean it is better, and this is the case here. The TBS remains the best balanced blade. The TBS is the better of the two to become a classic.

This blade can do it all. Great for blockers and loopers, it is very good in the short game, and has a very good speed to control ratio.

This blade is very good. It is a nice blade overall.

A Blade that can do it all. It can loop, drive, smash, push, and block with ease. I’ve used many Butterfly blades, and this is the blade that can do it all. Enough speed and plenty of control to dominate.

A good blade, I bought it because of other people’s feedback and because Timo Boll is my favorite player!

At first, I couldn’t handle much of the power, but I am getting used to it now and can say that it has a good sense and no vibration at all, which most carbon blades have.

I started playing table tennis in 2007 at my university. I began with a regular Stiga blade suitable for amateurs. Later, a friend introduced me to a Butterfly Joyner FL, which I found to be very fast but with limited control. I subsequently purchased a Primorac OFF-, which was an ideal blade for learning at the time.

However, the blade I purchased had a defect in the handle that made playing awkward, leading me to buy this blade, the Boll Spirit. I believe the Boll Spirit is well-suited for players who enjoy looping, particularly backhand looping and driving. It also has a remarkable lack of vibration despite containing carbon. If these qualities appeal to you, I highly recommend this blade. I personally find it to be an excellent choice.

My blade of choice for its consistency and reliability. It is the best looping blade, offering great feel and good speed. It provides extraordinary control in all aspects of the game, including looping, blocking, pushing, and smashing. It is the most balanced blade I have ever used.

Suitable for offensive players, the blade excels at looping, driving, and blocking. Its speed is moderate, not overly fast. Pairing it with Tenergy rubbers creates an excellent combination.

Compared to the Michael Maze blade, the TBS offers similar speed and control. However, the TBS has a softer feel and greater flexibility, resulting in subtle differences in playability.

The price of the TBS is more than justified by its performance. It is regarded as one of the best classic blades available.

This is my first ‘real’ blade, but it feels terrific. With Sriver EL with regular glue, it has fabulous control when I got used to it, and I now have enough power to hit winning shots while still being able to chop/control the ball. It has a fabulous feel, not too soft or too hard, and a nice flared handle. It’s a great blade that can do everything. It’s heavy enough to generate power without sacrificing any control. However, it is rather expensive.

This is a very balanced blade. It is great for all types of attacks.

Along with the Primorac, the Spirit is the quintessential Butterfly blade. A large straight handle is very comfortable. However, the flared version feels small. This is a very nice looking blade that is great for all-around offense. It has power reserves for hitting and looping away from the table. If Butterfly stops making this one, there will be a lot of angry people.

It is a very balanced blade with no big bate. I think the blade is perfect for players who want to play loops near at the table and half distance with a good control and moderate fast speed. It assisted a game with a lot of spin.

A good blade, but it is slow. I like it, but would rather want a little faster racket. It has carbon, but I never really hear it when I play unless I smash really hard. Very consistent, however, and you can never make a mistake if you hit on 90% of the rubber. More like for control attacker, high-quality blade though.

Great blade for all your attacking needs — looping, blocking, and driving are all good.

The composite carbon results in a bit of a “numb” feel without much feedback, but the all-round attacking potential outweighs this.

Expensive, but very well made, with a quality feel and a comfortable handle.

Its light and great for looping. I’m sticking with this for a while.

Hello. I love this blade very much. It’s a great combination with Butterfly Sriver/Bryce, and Energy rubbers. It’s well-balanced with comfort, medium speed, great control, and very good quality. The Arylate-carbon makes it comfortable to feel the ball and helps a lot in the game.

This blade is a well-liked choice due to its impressive performance. While it may be somewhat challenging to loop with harder rubbers, softer or medium rubbers work well with this blade. Whether it’s looping, counter-looping, or delivering powerful smashes, this blade offers excellent support for various offensive aspects of the game.

A great blade, in my opinion. I have tried it many times and gone back to the Korbel many times, but now after trying it for a third time, I have decided to stick with it. It is great for looping and driving, also excellent when relooping. It’s great away from the table, and there is not much feedback, but there is enough. It has a slightly higher throw than the Maze but is slightly softer too.

Nice blade, light and quite powerful but not out and out quick. Suitable for loopers and blockers. Popular and expensive.

This blade is very well balanced in every aspect. The only thing I did not like about it is its weight, which can vary quite a bit. The blade is also too thin.

Awesome, but a bit slower than the Timo Boll ALC. It has better dwell time and is softer with better feeling. It’s a topspin machine on both wings when paired with medium to hard tensors like MXP-50 or Donic C2.

I haven’t tried any Chinese rubbers on the blade, but I suspect that they would suit the FH side really well.

This is an absolute classic blade, offering a perfect balance of speed, control, and feel. It provides a great all-around performance, making it suitable for players of all levels. The blade is also very well-made, with a high-quality construction that ensures durability and longevity.

The blade has a medium-hard feel, which provides a good balance of power and control. It is also very responsive, allowing players to easily adjust their shots to suit the situation. The blade also has a good amount of dwell time, which gives players more time to control the ball and place their shots accurately.

Overall, this is an excellent blade for players of all levels. It offers a great all-around performance, is very well-made, and is very responsive. If you are looking for a blade that will help you improve your game, this is a great option.
