Customer review for Butterfly Timo Boll CAF

External Review for Butterfly Timo Boll CAF on April 14, 2019

Initially it has a more muted feel - mix between all wood and carbon. Its like a mix between Mizutani Jun ZLC, Stiga Nostalgic Allround and a Timo Boll ALC. Awesome feel when looping. Very crisp and with awesome dwell time. When hitting slow, the blade feels more woody, when looping faster, it feels more like a carbon blade but with more feel than a carbon blade).
This blade has so many gears. Speed on fast loops is awesome and more than fast enough to loop winners and over power opponents.
Control is excellent. Very easy to loop with. Lifting back spin is a breeze and looping medium and low height balls is so easy. You can absolutely return everything. It is not very spin sensitive which adds greatly to its control. Blocking is almost effortless. Short game is just so good, you can really do what you want with this blade!!
Looping is awesome. A dream looping blade. Fast loops are very fast and powerful. Lots of touch. Great Spin variation in looping. Lifting backspin is so easy with this blade.
Not very spin sensitive at all. You can generate lots of spin to use against your opponents but their spin doesn't really affect you.
Blocking is effortless on this blade. Arc is very good (but this is based on using T05 of course).
Has excellent deep hold, one of it's strongest features. Really helps when looping, especially when top spinning low balls (and backspin balls).
Sweet spot is really really good. Feels very large almost like an ALC blade.
Incredible short game considering the speed of the blade.
This blade I feel is a mid-way blade between an allwood blade and a full on carbon blade (such as the Timo Boll ALC and Viscaria). It has looping and attacking strengths of a carbon blade (higher speed, power, spin, large sweet spot) but has some of the strengths of an all wood blade (more control, touch, more feel, low spin sensitivity, better short game). I think this blade could be perfect for medium to advanced amateur players who are not pro level).
