Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit

Hi,

Let's start with my playstyle : Modern attacker, forehand oriented, I loop with power and/or spin long balls with my forehand. With the backhand I can loop too but I'm more passive, usually pushing and waiting for an opportunity to attack with my forehand. Sometimes i also like to let the opponent take the initiative and just block his attacks. Changing the gameplay is something I can easily do with this blade (except maybe Joo-Sae-Hyuk's type of defense but I never tried it and I'm noob with it anyway).

I bought this blade 2 years ago with 2 JOOLA Rhyzm 2,1mm on forehand and 1,9mm on backhand. Then I tried it with Tenergy 05 2,1mm on forehand and 1,9mm on backhand.
This blade was my first real big investment in TT material and I don't regret it.
The feeling is really great, I've never felt the ball as well as with a TBS. This gives me a really good control in all compartiments of the game. The speed is there if needed but I can also attack slowly with lots of spin if I want to change the pace. This blade is perfect for my playstyle and I won't change it for a long time.

I can honestly say that my TBS helped me to improve. But I had decent skills before buying it. So if you're a beginner or at a low level, don't bother buying such a blade as you need some skills already to feel the difference with more common blades. Go to train with a simple Banco Magic Light and once the skills are there, having this kind of blade is a NEED.

One last thing : take good care of it, if you damage it, even a little, you will probably feel little vibrations while hitting the ball and that's when you know it won't be the same anymore.

Overall, this is a wonderful blade made by butterfly. Looping on both sides have a lot of control and help create heavy spin, however, lacks some power when very far away from the table. This is a blade made for people who rather play close to mid distance.

The spirit blade is good but the short game for me is poor, I lose more points than I win as i touch and push into the net apart from that it's a good bat also very good for top to top rallies

That blade is very fast, yet it is controllable. The trajectory is pretty low, so blocks are great with it. Flicks, smashes and loops are amazing.

The Boll spirit is in my opinion a very good blade with the following characteristics:
- good power for your own attack
- good feeling and control for the serve recieve
- less vibration due to carbon layer

A great 7 plies composite blade from butterfly,Materials: Koto-ALC-Limba-Kiri-Limba-Alc-Koto. TBS is one of the best selling composite blade by butterfly. It has the same construction as Timo Boll Alc, Viscaria and zjk blade. Although there will be differences due to different thickness of each ply from those other blade but over all it's great. Medium Feeling, Crisp sound, less vibration due to arylate carbon and also It's more cheaper compare to other ALC blades out there c:. Suggested for players that's demanding for power but control at the same time too

quality blade, quite fast but still good consistency and control. Would recommend to any all round attacking player!
Been using mine for a while now and still performing well

Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit - The best, amazing blade with fantastic feeling! If you don't have it, buy it and you will probably never change and never regret that buy.

I'd say this blade is really, really good, it's quite popular around the world and I've just started playing with it and I can easily understand why, the touch feels really good, very compatible with the rubbers, it's a fast blade but fits a professional player as well as a non-professional player. It's not very heavy either, just about right, if there are people here looking to try out/buy a butterfly-blade, I'd definetly recommend this one, I'm out, peace.

This blade has great feeling on the hand when playing my shots. It also gives me the speed that I need to use whilst playing close and away from the table. The blade also has great feeling for blocking shots aswell as strong attacks.

The weight is very good because it is not to heavy and is comfortable enough to play and train for a few hours with no problem. Currently i am using Stiga Boost TC and Donic Acuda rubbers which work well with this blade.

I don't actually see any cons to this blade on a performance scale however price can be quite but you are paying for what you get... good premium product.

There not much to say, The best, amazing, the feeling! If you dont have it, buy it and you will probably never change and never regret that buy. I've played with many blades and my last one before was Viscaria, I was really satisfied but there was something missing. Go for it!

I bought this blade to try and achieve more speed, control and feeling in my game and it did exactly that . You can do anything with this blade from short push to topspin shots. It's comfortable to hold and easy to block with . This blade will accompany a fast rubber like tenergy because it will complement the speed and control of the rubber. I cannot find any floors in this product. The anatomic handle is very comfortable for this product. Would highly recommend this to anyone who has an offensive game !

The Boll spirit is a classic blade and will be for years to come.

The reason for it's popularity is that any style of player can use it and get success from it. It has great control for a carbon blade, better than a lot of the faster wood blades. You can get the speed you need easily and never disappoints.

It's my first pick every time.
