Timo Boll Spirit

[jonyer80]

I´ve got an old TBS first batch (metal tag, no serial number), and it´s not bad, but it´s overrated. If Timo wouldn´t have played with it, it´ll be an average blade like some others.

 

[billalphonso79!]

how much does it cost?

TBS is fine for intermediate level players depending on rubber type and thickness. Sriver 1.9 or Mark V 1.8 works great on the TBS for mid level players. Tensors that are mild are ok like Yasaka Extend ot BTY Solcion. TBS not recommended for beginners. Advanced players need 2.1-Max on the TBS. The flared version is to small, the ST version is spot on good for feel. This is just a general guide for the TBS, your requirements may vary so don't beat me up guys

 

[josskuusk]

I agree to you.

actually, i'm just a intermediate player, if not maybe just a advanced beginner. and i really want to get the feel more than anything. my joola wing passion fast with joola xplode sensitive is a good racket, but i always feel like the ball bounces off to quickly. before i can get the spin i want it to produce. so maybe i should go for a racket that has more feel. any suggestions? i've tried the donic cavman, i think that's what you call it. it feels a lot softer than my racket, but sometimes i think it feels too soft? what's a good blade that has a lot of feel, but the it's not too soft? just a medium feel.

try sk7 korbel with o5fx st handle excelent control make block and push for fun and very good atack with top spin and smash. buy it you will see.the timo boll spirit is very good blade but for advance players this blade has a lot of nerve and if you are not so good you will have problem at receving of serves.my opinion!!!!!!!

If you want to put chinese rubber on the blade, you should go for viscaria... It's much better for that job.

 

[leankints]

maybe i should still get the timo boll spirit for christmas. i can deal with the speed, i just want what you think about the feel. feel's really important to me. hahaha, that's why i'm having a hard time with my racket now, the only time i can feel the ball is if i'm smashing it. hahahaha

 

[STL2000]

So many people loves this blade.... Actually I think Maze off is better....

 

[madamada]

i think boll spirit is one of the best buterfly blades ma long uses it

 

[riceman]

would go with medium soft medium hard. Acuda, Tenergy. pretty versatile blade though, so try things out

An amazing blade that feels good is a Jonyer Hinoki blade, here check it out http://www.butterflyonline.com/onli...1&SortBy=b.NewProd&displayNum=20&frompg=soffb My friend called vytas uses it and loves it, ill get him to tell you what he thinks about it

its a very versatile blade. Any looping oriented rubber would be fine.

 

[shogun]

Maybe I should try this TBS blade...

You are talking to the right person. I worked at a Joola distributor for a year. And beginner and intermediate spinners usually like Energy Extra a lot, this rubber is so forgiving on top-spin shots, but the power is little compromising. I would say Energy Extra is a great beginner-friendly rubber. It's a uber spinny rubber!

Also Gambler Outlaw. I call it "little Tenergy 05", is only $14 at zeropong.com It has good control, good spin, has a springy feeling like Tenergy 05(some sources claim that 729 bought the tenergy sponge technology from butterfly, but in order to excel in the Chinese market, 729 made adjustment to suit a Chinese game. What's wrong with having a little Chinese component in your game. Don't they have the best game?) but not as fast which could have more control. Why not have a try. You can't beat the price!

PS: the Gambler Outlaw I 've tried is with "Golden Cake Sponge". I think that you need "Golden cake sponge" to feel like tenergy 05.

really thanks Dan!

 

[herblord3]

yeah i agree with donic blade it have a good control and less price compare to other brand...^_^

 

[chompiraz]

I would love to get a TBS, but they are pricey!

 

[herblord3]

hello dan..it is suitable to use a medium-soft rubber 2.0mm on an aggressive player??? or a hard rubber with 2.1mm??? how it will affect on the game???

i switched from kong linghui special to timo boll spirit. i found tbs doesn't have much differences than klhs. easy for me to adjust from one blade to the other. tbs is faster than klhs but the feel isn't as good as klhs. in normal matches, i usually use tbs but if i play against choppers, i love to use my old klhs.
