Timo Boll ALC
The signature blade of European champion Timo Boll. An all-round attacking blade with an excellent balance of power and control.
💡 Who this suits
Good reaction speed, well suited to attacking play, with a moderately crisp feel that works across a range of styles.
About this product
Its official reaction and vibration figures are identical to Viscaria and Fan Zhendong ALC. What separates the three is thickness and handle, not numbers. This one sits on the thicker side, so the ball feels like it stays on the face slightly longer.
That the figures match is itself useful when choosing: whichever you pick, the performance grade is the same, so what is left is the handle and weight that fit your hand. Holding them beats hunting for a review that declares a winner.
The name reflects that Timo Boll plays this model, though it is worth remembering that a player’s blade and the retail version are not always graded identically.
What the numbers say
Outer 5-ply + 2 ALC plies 6mm. Its reaction of 7.9 ranks 11 of 46 blades, on the high side. It is on the stiffer, less flexible side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.

Where this blade sits
Reaction and vibration figures Butterfly publishes for 46 of its blades (official 1–15 scale). Further right means more reaction; higher means more vibration. Neither axis is "better" — they describe character. Other brands use different scales and are not mixed in.
