Hi Indrit,
I can't help here, but maybe someone else out there can.
Eric here from Mumbai, India. I got a Timo Boll Alc about 3 months back. Its a great blade but from what I hear its just a minor change from the Timo Boll spirit model. Currently I use it with Mark V on both sides and it is a Fast blade but with enough touch for good topspins. A lot of control is required to use this blade to its full potential but I think its due to the arylate carbon, hands, especially the wrist have to be real soft and sensitive to feel the ball. Overall a good blade but not worth it if you are upgrading from Timo Boll Spirit. So if you really want a Timo Boll model, i would recommend either the Timo Boll spirit or M.Maze.
