When the Triple came out under VICTAS, I was trying to figure out which blade would be good and settled on this one.
It seems to pair well with tacky rubber.
It gets a lot of spin, but it felt like it flew a bit too much.Before this I had P-1 and G-1 on. That combination was good too.

It broke and I can't use it anymore, but I'm writing this as a send-off.
At first I was looking for a replacement for Butterfly's discontinued Kong Linghui blade, and bought this one because it seemed decent enough.The grip was thin and easy to hold.
*I've looked at other people's copies of this blade, and it seems like there's quite a bit of individual variation in the grip.I put on Andro's Rasant (discontinued) and found it a blade with good ball-holding and solid spin.
Something I've been thinking lately is that it feels better to match a blade with rubbers from the same maker.

The price of this blade has changed since I bought it.
But I think it's worth what it costs. Butterfly discontinues a lot of blades, so this Timo Boll is definitely a long-seller.
I bought mine back in 2012. It's 2021 now, so I think that shows it's loved by players all over the world.Over 20 years ago Butterfly released arylate carbon, and the first one I ever used was the Kong Linghui Special, a player I really respect. Back then there were hardly any blades priced over 10,000 yen.
That was also my first time trying an anatomic grip.I think getting spin on the ball is the most important thing.
It makes a sound like there's some kind of booster on it, and you get real spin.
It also pairs well with Rasanter.No issues with loop drives or hard-hit drives.
However, when I hit flat, meaty shots, I often ended up catching the net.I think you can play the short game over the table without any problems too.
Some people might not like it, but the anatomic grip might be what makes it easy to handle.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

This is the first Butterfly blade I've bought with an inner-layer material.
As the title says, it felt like it didn't fly as much as I expected. That might be because I've mostly only used outer-layer blades myself.
Compared to the Timo Boll ALC, there was a difference in bounce that felt off.
It also felt off in bounce compared to the Innerforce ZLC.As stated on Butterfly's website, high-spin counter-drives close to the table were easy to do.
Since the bounce is toned down, I think that made it easier to play close to the table.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

FH: Ventus Speed
BH: Ventus SpinI never had a great image of TSP rackets and avoided them for a long time.
But when I was looking into beginner equipment, a shop staff member recommended the Swat.Honestly, I don't think the price matches the quality — in a good way.
Given the current market, I'd say it's worth around 10,000 yen.I think it can be used with no problems up to intermediate level.
It handles everything fine overall; if there's a weakness, an advanced player might find it a bit lacking.
But I think most users would be satisfied with this racket.Wonderful.
