Timo Boll Spirit Clone Question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I know people have asked this question before, but I am asking for a slightly different reason I'm sure. 

I am looking for a blade that most closely plays like the TBS but with a more rounded straight handle. I very much like the Donic and Nittaku straight handle shapes if you know what I am talking about. Compared to Butterfly's straights, which have a thick,squarish, boxy feel, the Donics are Nittaku's for me are a preference because they are thin and oval/round shaped. 

Anyone?

	The Nittaku KCZ is pretty similar to the TBS. It's made of pretty simliar wood (koto outters, with kiri core). It's a little thinner with more flex but also a touch faster.

	Galaxy K4 is supposed to be a TBS clone. Plays nicely, and much cheaper than a TBS. I don't know if it's available in a straight handle, but the K4 with flared handle which I play with is quite thin (too thin for me, I put some handle grip on it).
