The Butterfly Timo Boll ALC FL (Flared handle) is one of the most iconic blades in modern table tennis, combining speed, stability, and control in perfect balance. Designed in collaboration with Timo Boll, one of the sport’s most consistent and technically skilled players, this blade is the weapon of choice for advanced offensive athletes who want explosive attacking power without sacrificing precision.
The Timo Boll ALC features Arylate-Carbon (ALC) fiber technology, a hallmark of Butterfly’s craftsmanship. This unique composite combines the vibration-dampening properties of Arylate with the stability and elasticity of Carbon. The result is a blade that delivers incredible power on offensive shots while maintaining a comfortable, controlled feel in every stroke.
With a 5-ply wood + 2-ply Arylate-Carbon construction, the blade offers the perfect blend of natural feedback and synthetic reinforcement. The flexible Arylate reduces unwanted vibrations, giving players better touch in the short game, while the Carbon fibers provide stability, speed, and a larger sweet spot for consistent performance.
The FL (Flared) handle design ensures a secure and comfortable grip, especially during fast rallies, making it ideal for players who prefer an ergonomic fit that locks naturally into the hand.
The Timo Boll ALC FL is designed for offensive all-rounders who base their game on heavy spin, precise placement, and controlled aggression. It excels in:
Topspin Attacks: The blade’s elasticity provides excellent dwell time, helping players generate heavy spin on both forehand and backhand loops.
Counter-Loops & Rallies: The Carbon reinforcement offers stability in fast exchanges, ensuring the blade performs consistently under pressure.
Blocking & Control: The balanced construction allows solid, controlled blocks against high-speed attacks.
Short Game & Touch Play: Despite its offensive speed rating, the Arylate fibers give players excellent feel for serves, pushes, and flicks.
Compared to purely carbon blades, the Timo Boll ALC strikes the perfect middle ground: it offers powerful acceleration for attacking shots but retains the control and feedback of an all-wood blade. This balance makes it one of the most popular choices among professional and advanced amateur players.
