TB ALC vs. TB Spirit... What's the difference?

For sure if you don't are about the handle, get the cheaper one.

My coach recently adviced my to try a Zang Jike (blue dragon) he brought me, this blade is also a copy of the TBS. But the one he selected me is the most amazing blade I've tried so far. The handle in FL is not like the TBS/TBalc, and the feeling is the best feeling i've had so far with a "viscaria copy". The FL handle makes the blade more balances, paired with two Tenergy's 80 the bat is perfectly balanced, not head heavy at all.

I've been playing with TB alc/TBS since 2007-2008, despite tons of tests I've always found that the Viscaria clones were just the best balance between flex/control/speed/gears/feeling/sweet spot.......so its not suprising that I'm loving the Zhang Jike........but the Zhang jike FL brings me one more thing : a less head heavy blade than the Viscaria/TBS/TBalc. For the amazing feeling, it could have been any viscaria clone from butterfly, its not specific to the Zhang Jike.

I would recommend the Zhang Jike over any over "viscaria clone" because of its better balance.

So the photino light didn't work out in the end?

I was used to much on arylate-carbon. Its an amazing blade but I'm just used far to much to ALC + Koto outer.

TB ALC has better balance and a smaller handle
