My Experience With Timo Boll Spirit Blade and Rubber
Even though I love the Butterfly Ishlion very much, I think it didn’t give me the level of spin that I wanted to have. Therefore, I ended up shifting to the Timo Boll Spirit, which is the
A few weeks before the Queensland, I went back to Tenergy 64 on my backhand and did very well with it. So now, putting it on the TBS and comparing Tenergy 64 with spin art on the new blade is quite exciting.
I love the Timo Boll Spirit, which amazes me. I was kind of scared that I would come to the same conclusion as before. But I have not used the Tenergy 05 on it yet. It is a worry! Spin art has a much lower throw, so it partly reduced the thing I didn’t like about the Boll ALC with Tenergy 05. Don’t get me wrong. The Boll ALC with Tenergy 05 felt like absolute magic but just not suitable for the way I played then.
Timo Boll Spirit Hardness
I have heard some people say that Timo Boll’s spirit is a hard blade. I’m afraid I have to disagree with that. I have been using an Ishlion for years now, and many people say it is too hard. I know that the Ishlion is a harder blade, but it is a pretty soft carbon Hinoki blade. Something like a Schlager Carbon or Timo Boll Tricarbon is hard. Back on topic. The TBS not only got Arylate interwoven into the carbon, but it also has a bit of vibration.
The Arylate softens the blade for sure and slows down the ball’s impact and exit, both giving a more considerable similarity all over the surface or sweet spot and slowing down the outgoing ball.
Timo Boll Spirit Rubber
Last week, I quickly tried out numerous rubbers and was surprised that of all the blades I have tried in my life, no blade has been suitable for so many various rubbers.
11th May 2010 I have finally removed the Butterfly Spin Art from the Timo Boll Spirit. It was excellent, and I would choose it before any Chinese
I am looping again on my forehand instead of being cautious. What do I miss about my Ishlion? The lighter weight a little. But honestly, I feel the strokes’ stability with a slightly heavier blade makes up for it. For the first time in a very long time, I feel like I barely miss the table when I open my loops or counter loop my opponent’s attacks.
The only thing I have trouble with is the insane fast power drives, but they are still easier to receive with the Timo Boll Spirit.
