    User review

    I originally used the Timo Boll ALC, but ever since the anti-bacterial balls came out, I felt like I had less sense of holding the ball, and spin and control got harder, so I switched.


    Cons: It's heavy, so you have to choose your rubbers carefully. My current total weight is 189.3g, so rubbers that are too heavy are rough. Also, with Tenergy it felt like it held the ball a bit too much, and I didn't feel like they matched that well.


    Pros: Pairs extremely well with Dignics 05. I personally thought Dignics 05 wouldn't suit me, but since it matches so well, I've stuck with it. The short game, blocking, and topspin drives are all flawless.


    Tips for picking a racket
    I'd recommend a unit that's on the heavier side with the balance point toward the grip. Even at 189.3g, since the balance is toward the grip, it handles like it's around 185-186g. If it were lighter instead, the balance point would be too far toward the tip, which would make it feel heavy when swinging, and even though it feels heavy, I think it would be harder to get a really good ball off it.
    My blade alone is 90 grams.
    I also used an 84-gram unit, but the feel on contact was completely different, so that's something worth paying attention to.
