Ma Long - Changed his blade?

[Dan]

Ok guys, im sure your all aware of the China Trials for the WTTC, but it has risen that Ma Long has changed his blade. The video footage, is quite hard to tell which blade Ma Long is using but hopefully the snap shots below give a clearly picture, but vote in the poll now and leave a comment below.

that's pretty much an ALC. i guess he must have broken the old tbs....it shouldn't play all that different to his old blade.

 

[DKPOWA]

Its a change for the better

For me it looks like the ALC. In addition to me opinion for a while a friend(he works in a tt-shop) tells me Boll Spirit and BOLL ALC are very similar.

 

[ttmonster]

Its a new blade from Butterfly that will have "Ma Long's" name in the product line

 

[bFeee]

Butterfly Innerforce ALC OFF !!!

 

[RobinTT91]

I´m pretty sure, it's a Timo Boll Spirit Special Made in ALC Design.

 

[nittakuhurricane2]

I think you are right

 

[wang liqin]

im sure its is TIMO BOLL ALC ( is not the timo boll spirt with ALC handle )

 

[sorn_cool]

I'm not quite sure what blade is it. But the handle is Timo Boll ALC not Innerforce ALC for sure

 

[poltery]

Timo boll alc!!!!!!!

 

[yellow*strike]

pretty sure that's the Timo Boll ALC . I've just made a comparaison and seems to be very similar

thats not correct the Boll ALC is more blue but this blade is definitely more gray

 

[Zya]

I'm doesen't mean the design but the play characteristics
