Features the use of Butterfly's ZL fiber.

This results in a light weight blade which can produce a maximum amount of topspin with maximum control.
The perfect blade for the all-round looping style.

This is the blade I'm using right now — close to the table to mid-distance is best, but you can also play with it further back! It has a lot of stability, so I think it's a great pick for players who want a stable, attacking game.

I used the ST version.
It's a bit boxy/angular, which wasn't quite my preference.
The weight isn't an issue, and it's thin and easy to swing.
It's an outer-ply blade, but it doesn't feel especially hard, and it handles every technique competently.
What really stands out is the short game and the counter — thanks to a unique gripping feel, flicks and chiquitas are easy to pull off, and you can hit a stable counter from on top of the ball.
The only downside is really just the price....Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

No regrets trying this out.
I remember being surprised the first time I used it — a feel on contact I'd never experienced before.
Missing out on that feeling would be such a waste!
Definitely give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I used this all through middle school and kept using it even after becoming a working adult! The speed and control change depending on the rubber, but the amount of spin and the feel on contact were amazing! Every technique that puts spin on the ball — drives, service spin, and so on — felt stable, and the easiest of all was the counter! If you relax and lightly counter the ball, it flies back into your opponent's court with tremendous power!! From close-to-the-table to far back, beginner to advanced, all-rounders — honestly, I want everyone to use this racket lol!!

Right now, it gets the most spin out of the whole Timo Boll series. The feel is sharp and consistent, so basically wherever you hit the ball, the feel doesn't change much. Because of that, I think even relative beginners can get a feel for the racket's performance fairly easily.

It's a pretty easy racket to use. The bounce is just right and the spin is nothing to complain about — it felt softer than I expected for an outer Zylon blade. What stood out most was that I could do stable topspin rallies close to the table and at mid-distance overall, including in the short game. It's light, so it's easy to handle even for women. As a downside, male players with a lot of power might find the bounce a bit lacking. It might be just right if the backhand side has short pips or long pips. For a style of swinging hard with inverted rubber on both sides, it's a bit iffy.
