The ButterlyTimo Boll Spirit Blade was the first blade in the Timo Boll product line to incorporate ALC plies. Known for being light, highly flexibile, and absorbing shock well, Arylate-Carbon provides a great blend of power with enhanced feel. Butterfly Rozena and Roundell rubber model lines provide controllable power and high levels of spin to players transitioning to their first High Tension rubber. For more advanced players that want to stay close to the table, Tenergy 05 and Dignics 05 will give you short, high trajectories over the table and help you exploit sharp angles. Players looking for a dynamic spin game should consider using Dignics 09C, the newest rubber in the Dignics line. With a tacky top sheet and a harder version of Butterfly Spring Sponge X, players can generate unbelievable spin with the new technology. To increase the grip on this blade, you can add Soft Grip Tape, providing grip and comfort to the racket handle. Another great choice to extend the longevity of your racket is adding side tape to the blade, protecting the wood in the event it is hit on the table.
