Bisukaria Hard to hold...

A lot of people probably think the basic performance is the same as the Timo Boll, but the feel of the ball is subtly different. It feels closer to the Timo Boll Spirit than the Timo Boll ALC. The ALC lightened the center wood of the blade to reduce weight, but that made the feel of the ball lighter too. The Spirit is about 90 grams, almost the same as the Zhang Jike. So if you don't want the ball feel to get lighter, I think this blade or the Zhang Jike ALC is a good choice. Also, the grip is a little different from the usual ones. Well, "grip" isn't quite the right word — I mean the part around where your index finger rests. (Sorry, I'm not explaining this well!) If you've used the Wa no Kiwami, you might know what I mean... anyway, that part is shallow! So chiquita and YG serves are easy to do, but backhand blocks and topspin drives lack stability. That might be why Zhang Jike himself uses the Viscaria... Still, I think the basic performance is really excellent!

This is the blade I currently use. It pairs well with Hurricane on my forehand—the speed adds to Hurricane's spin, and I've been able to hit shots that finish points in one shot. Also, the grip is thicker, which makes forehand strokes easier to hit compared to the Viscaria, and it's easier to balance both sides. I'd recommend it to anyone using Hurricane who wants a bit more speed. A lot of people say Hurricane doesn't suit outer-carbon blades, but it's definitely worth trying.

It generates a lot of speed, so I really like it.
That said, the grip might be a little hard to hold?
So just a heads up on that!
Compatibility with Tenergy is so-so.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Above all, the grip is thick and really easy to hold! It's a grip shape that makes the backhand easy to use
And best of all, the compatibility with Tenergy 05 is outstanding!!
Even on a nasty, heavily-cut ball, you can loop it back upOverall Speed Spin Control Touch

I'm someone who's always loved pure 5-ply blades
but this is the first special-material blade I've used
I thought it might feel hard
but maybe because the outer veneer is softer than the Timo Boll series
I was able to use it without much discomfort
This blade is the same blade as the Viscaria and Zhang Jike ALC
and such, so
if you can't get hold of those, buying this one instead is a valid option
I think
Since young Chinese players mainly use it
and Zhang Jike himself uses the Viscaria
I think the high performance of this blade
speaks for itself without needing to be said
Please give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch
