    Since a lot of other reviewers have already covered the blade's performance, I wanted to write about the things I noticed regarding everything else.

    - Grip shape
    Compared to Butterfly's other FL grips, this one is wider and thinner. I'd recommend holding it in person before buying.

    - Blade size (158×152mm)
    Butterfly's Timo Boll ALC is 157×150mm, so compared to that, this one is bigger overall. That gives you a wider sweet spot, but it also means the total weight tends to get heavier once you put rubber on.

    - Weight (average 93g)
    That's heavy for a 5-ply. Because of the unusual grip shape and the larger blade size, the balance point tends to sit toward the tip, so it feels heavier than the actual weight suggests. A player with a certain amount of power and swing speed can use that weight to hit powerful shots. On the other hand, players who aren't confident in their power would probably find blades like the Hadraw 5, Falcima, or Mace Advice easier to handle.

    - Rubber
    Since the blade is on the softer side, rubbers that aren't too soft pair well with it. For intermediate players, I'd recommend something rated 35 or higher on the Japanese scale (like Rozena) or 45 or higher on the German scale (like Fastarc C-1).
