Customer review for Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit

External Review for Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit on April 4, 2010

The Timo Boll Spirit is exactly the same blade as the Timo Boll Arylate, I mean exactly! But because of Butterfly's marketing and greed the ALC is £20 pounds plus more in price.! Ridiculous.
Check the spec.
Both have 5 plies +2 Arylate Carbon, blade size is exactly the same 157x150
Thickness the same 5.7
Weight the same 90g
they are exactly the same blade and even Butterfly will admit this. Both perform exactly the same as they are the same blade, where on earth the above author wrote that the ALC is faster is ridiculous, it seems faster because you want it to be, but in actual fact it cant be, its the same blade, check with Butterfly.
I use the Butterfly ZLC Zylon Carbon Blade with Tenergy 05 on backhand and Tenergy 64 on my forehand, and this is a practise training bat for me, when I play a game I use the Timo Boll Spirit blade with the same set up of rubbers above and this is a slower bat set up, but only just and that gives me my edge when im playing, as I'm used to a slightly faster bat set up so am quicker actually. But the ALC and Spirit are exactly the same blade, no differences, do your research and you will see I'm right, but the Spirit and not the ALC, you will save yourself a lot of money. I hope I have cleared things up for you all and I've really, I mean REALLY researched this.
Happy playing.
Sorry i meant Tenergy 64 on my forehand and Tenergy 05 on my backhand.
