    The Timo Boll ALC is the blade of choice for the European Triple Champion, Timo Boll. Timo working with Butterfly’s technicians, helped design his new blade which offers a touch more speed than his previous model but still allows for the production of the heavy topspin strokes Timo is known for.

    Using his new blade along with Butterfly’s new Tenergy rubbers, Timo successfully defended all three of his Titles at the 2008 European Championships. Timo plays fair and wins and so can you. The Timo Boll ALC offers the maximum blend of speed, heavy spin, and Control.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This racket receives overwhelming support from advanced players as a high-performance option. It excellently combines the speed of outer carbon with rotational control, showing particularly strong compatibility with hard tension rubbers. However, beginners find it difficult to control, and most reviews emphasize that adaptation time is essential.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional balance of speed and spin performance
    • Best compatibility with hard tension-type rubbers
    • Recommended for intermediate to advanced players
    • Versatile for all techniques including quick attacks
    • Fast ball release requires control adjustment time
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveA rubber that can do everything from start to finish, with excellent speed, spin, and control. Once accustomed to it, players can execute virtually any shot. The compatibility with tension rubbers like Tenergy is exceptional.
    ▽ CriticalPlayers without solid fundamentals will struggle with lack of power, producing flat shots. The fast ball release typical of outer carbon means beginners cannot control the ball before it leaves. Adaptation time is a prerequisite for this racket.

      Tenaji (Experience: 4〜5 years) Recommended for topspin-focused players

      Player reviews

      First, drives are flawless
      there's speed and spin
      and the third-ball drive is easy to hit.
      For serves, things like the YG serve are easy to hit, and receiving is easy too, but the chiquita is especially easy to pull off.
      If a ZLC-type blade doesn't suit you, try this one first
      you'll definitely love it

      Table Tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) Recommended for topspin-focused players

      Player reviews

      First off, you can really put spin on both drives and serves.
      Also, receives, control, and blocks are all decent too.
      I switched over from the Jun Mizutani ZLC and found this really easy to use!

      Green Tea (Experience: 4〜5 years) Amazing, wow

      Player reviews

      You can put solid spin on both serves and drives.
      The speed is decent too.
      Control isn't bad either.
      The feel is a bit hard.
      I'd highly recommend it to intermediate players with solid fundamentals. Drives go in like crazy.

      Player reviews

      I think it's an all-around blade. Its strongest point is probably offense. Topspin drives and smashes are quite easy to pull off, and smashes have real destructive power. You can also step back from the table and chop. Loop drives go in too. You can do all kinds of serves with it.

      Fighting spirit of bamboo (Experience: 11〜20 years) Easy to attack with

      Player reviews

      This blade makes it easy to play offense. Topspin drives especially go in easily when playing close to the table to mid-distance. The weight is just right — not too light, not too heavy. It feels natural in the hand and is easy to swing. It's also easy to vary the strength between long and short serves, and easy to put spin on them. Offensive players should give this one a try.

      Aoyoshi (Experience: 11〜20 years) Blade for advanced players

      Player reviews

      There are a lot of arylate carbon blades out there. Among them, this one was the easiest to use. It's not heavy, and shots basically go in no matter where you hit from. I think it pairs well with spin-oriented rubbers. Any kind of serve is easy to do with it. Recommended.

      Timo Boll (Experience: Less than a year) The best

      Player reviews

      This was my first blade with arylate carbon in it, and it was really great.
      Topspin drives went in smoothly and it felt easy to use.
      I think it's a blade you can pick up once you've built up a bit of skill.
