The Timo Boll CAF Blade has been created for players that want to hit power attack shots from all positions on the table. The CA fibers is a special material made from wood. These wood fibers are extremely flexible, and helps to "hold the ball" on the racket longer which offers a higher level of control and feel. The power that is created from this blade comes from the thick center plies. This is the perfect transition blade for players wanting to move to a special material blade like carbon, zl fiber, and al carbon. It has an average weight of 82 grams, blade thickness of 5. 7mm, and the blade size is 157x150mm. The blade comes only in the FL handle type with a size of 100x24, and the ST that comes in at 100x22. It has a reaction of 10. 6, and a vibration of 10. 4. The rubber recommendation for this blade is the Dignics 05. For the Dignics line of rubber the 05 has the highest trajectory, and lands the shortest distance on the table. The 80 has the second highest, and lands in the middle of the table. The 64 has the lowest trajectory, and the longest travel path landing deepest on the table. To add more grip to this blade you can get the Soft Grip Tape. It provides grip and comfort to the racket handle. Another great choice for racket care is adding side tape to the blade. It can protect the wood in the event it is hit on the table.
