Review of Butterfly Timo Boll ALCit suffices to say the entire blade is one large, beautiful, very consistent -and not so reasonably priced- sweet spot. TBALC is a complete murderer. No wonder Timo Boll himself plays with this. Not reccommended however for intermediate or advanced players that are still developing technique, since it provides no vibration feedback compared to an all wood 5 ply blade of it's speed range (take Xiom Off S or Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Off). Even A thick 7 ply all wood like say andro CS7 Vel (Off+ as fast or even faster than this) provides better feedback when playing short or middle distance game .TB ALC is quite fast and not so easy to control due to the feedback issue I just described. However for Elite and pro players this is the blade to buy. Worth every penny if you can afford it.

Review of Yasaka Sweden ExtraVery reliable and friendly blade. Superb wood quality. Great control, enough power and great feel at great price. Allround to allround offensive players looking for a high quality blade that does everything right at a low price will be totally satisfied. The thing about Yasaka Extra blades is they can really deliver A LOT of power using the right strokes while staying light and versatile for a very controlled close to mid distance game with surprisingly quick pase changes and power shots that result tricky to the oponents (Ma Lin Extra Off is still a 5 ply all wood blade like this one). You know what kind of Allround, pase-changing, middle distance strategy I talk about If you have watched and payed attention to Ma Lin´s playing style. He used to pair his Penhold Ma Lin Extra Off with DHS Skyline TG3 on FH (most likely boosted) and for some time he used some Mark V rubber for BH. Both of these rubbers are among the not so fast type and yet using his long penhold strokes he could outspeed Europeans using carbon blades and Tenergies.
This tells you enough about how much you can squeeze out of any blade in the Yasaka EXTRA series, developed alongside the Mark V rubber series, and of course Ma Lin´s carreer...
