Yeah, I am curious also about wood + arylate combination. I have BTY Japanese catalog and it places both TB Spark and KL in the soft range with KL is faster compared to TB Spark, but both are still slower than Korbel.
But I want to know from the actual users, how these two blades played? |

yes, KL is a little slow blade but good control and has soft feel.

I've used both, but not extensively. My training partner uses the Spark. The Spark is a very soft blade for a composite racket. Great for controlled looping and controlled blocking. Lacks a bit of power to finish a point at mid distance, but doable. I've own the KL, but have only used it a couple times. Just tried it during my warmup at my last session. I find that it's a bit stiffer and faster than my KLS, which is a bit stiffer and faster than the Spark. Not sure if this is consistent across all blades as I've seen the Keyshoy Light listed as slower by Butterfly.

Probably the weight does affect the speed of it as well. Once in a TT strore, I bounced ball on bare Keyshot Light (83 grams only) and the ball bounced considerably lower than those of TBS and MM (both around ~90 gram). Didn't try Kong Ling Hui Special though, but I though KLHS must be faster than Keyshot Light because it is in the same league as TBS and MM.
I found that BTY Chart contradicts Number Figure provided in BTY online. BTY Chart lists KL slower than Korbel but the number figure in BTY online lists speed of KL is faster than that of Korbel.

Ok, played with it more extensively today. I have a 2.0 rather than 1.8 on the backhand side of the keyshot, so this probably threw off my impressions. The keyshot light is slower than the KLHS. I think the feel is a bit harder too, but still well in the soft range.

i've played with both. i liked the KL a little more - it felt faster to me. i used sriver fx 2.1 on both sides and it was a just a little too soft. i'm switching to sriver el 2.1 or max. good looping blade, with good touch. however, that's just a matter of preference. the tbspark was not bad at all...
