Plays almost the same as a Timo Boll ALC, maybe a bit slower/softer (the Gewo blade is also a wee bit thinner when I compare them).
1 big difference though: I can generate a lot more spin than with the Timo Boll ALC.
Flared handle seems even thinner than a Boll ALC and the shape is less pronounced, almost between flared an straight.
For a smaller price, you get a more forgiving version of a Timo Boll ALC.
