Customer review for Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit

External Review for Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit on September 4, 2011

I have been studying about the slightly different charateristics between the 2 Timo Boll ALC versions since 2008 when I first bought my 1st TBS then.
Many people think that they are the same blades made by Butterfly just for the marketing needs or prices different purpose ?!
NO WAY ! I can tell you that there are differences between the two, yep ! for sure !!
Let's first look into the plys' construction :-
Koto-ALC-Limba-Kiri-Limba-ALC-Koto
(The Kiri core of the ALC is harder than the TBS)
Basically the materials looked the same for both blades, even the head size & thickness are the same; but when you look closely, you will find that the arylate fiber (The BLUE LINES we see from the side) in the ALC is (1.5mm) while the TBS is (1.7mm)
That's what made the ALC a little faster than the TBS since the ALC had less arylate and more carbon.
Another differnt is that the handle of the ALC is 2mm longer than the TBS, purpose for this is to move the weight balance back towards the handle to increase control.
