Customer review for Butterfly Timo Boll ALC

External Review for Butterfly Timo Boll ALC on October 4, 2025

Mine weighs 84gm. Coming to this from mostly wood or inner carbon blades so the gradual shifting, hence the review will be in that perspective.
I played with fast arc g1 forehand and c1 backhand.
Topspin is very nice with this blade. Counters also very nice. Blocks needs to be active but is more punchy. Push is not bad either.
It is a very nice blade. Huge sweetspot, great feel, very good craftsmanship and perfect balance of speed and control.
I used to think timo boll / viscaria / outer carbon blade is very fast but it wasn't the case. I found this blade to be much better control then inner zlc. zlc is too hard, won't recommend it to most people unless you are Jun Mizutani or similar player.
Apart from this outer carbon I played with one more outer carbon - Xiom hayabusa arx but it's arx is much harder while middle layer being softer so it gives hollow feeling. But it's not the case with Timo boll.
Now I understand the premium of Butterfly because the quality is top-notch. If someone is intermediate player and looking to upgrade, they can buy this once and won't need to worry again.
So in summary, very nice blade and worth every penny for offensive players.
