(Well I know all of this, it is you who suggested me to take the stiga evo (between several blade) I admit that I bought the stiga one without testing it but in the end I am not comfortable with the head and handle size that is why I came back to my former blade the tbalc :/ is there a blade which looks like the tb alc size ?)
Sry for this "out of subject post"
The blade face of TB ALC is 150x157mm, right?
The blade face of Stiga Allround Evolution is 150x157mm. Am I missing something?
Which handle did you get for Stiga Allround Evolution?
It is true that to someone who is used to a Butterfly handle, some of the Stiga handles can feel like tree trunks. And to someone used to some of the Stiga handles, many of the Butterfly handles can feel like popsicle sticks.
Too me the handle is not that important. But I know, to some, it can be. Part of the reason the handle does not matter to me is that I don't really fully hold the handle. I actually hold the blade face with my index finger and thumb. I got this from a pro who came to USA from China that I know. It works for me. So the handle does not usually matter.
But there are other players where the handle really matters.
What about a Nittaku Acoustic or Violin? Those are supposed to have small handles.
In the end, I am not going to judge anyone. I provide information that hopefully helps people understand what will be best for them and why so they can make educated choices about equipment.
In the real scope of things nothing bad will happen if you use a TB ALC. But technique will develop a little more quickly with a decent all wood blade.

I've found all the fingers to be very important for how I loop - there are times when there is more pressure in the thumb and long finger, but there are times when I get whip from the two smallest fingers. So for me, getting used to the feel of the handle matters a lot as when I change, I lose some of the specialized muscle memory that activates the small things on my prior handle.
So I understand the viewpoint of anyone who finds handle very important.

how bad can it be to play with a carbon blade?
My tb alc size is 157x150 but my stiga evo is 158x149 and the form is different too. That makes with rubbers a heavier blade with stiga than with tb... Much more head heavy.
I take the St handle, the stiga one is much bigger than the tb
I've never try nittaku blade because they are expensive for me now (no money anymore)
I don't want to remove the rubber to make the photos you want so I take what I have and try to show what I want to show =) Hope you see that.
I think it is pretty weird because it is like 157x150 but the feeling is very different due to the blade shape !
