Besty Fl
TSP Besty FL is a 7-ply hybrid blade featuring a 5+2 Arylate Carbon construction that delivers a unique blend of control and spin for offensive players. It offers a distinct playing experience with a softer, more tactile feel compared to many high-speed composite blades, prioritizing precision and spin generation over raw power. The blade's design provides a smooth touch with minimal vibration, making it suitable for players who value ball connection and maneuverability in their attacking game.
The 5+2 construction features a wood core sandwiched between two Arylate Carbon layers, surrounded by additional wood plies. This design balances wood's flexibility and feel with composite materials' speed and stiffness. The Arylate Carbon layers enhance power and spin generation while the outer wood layers provide touch and control.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
TSP Besty FL provides offensive-level speed that's more controlled than many composite blades. It delivers sufficient pace for active rallies and attacking shots while emphasizing spin generation over pure power. This makes it excellent for players who want offensive capability without the extreme speed that can compromise control, allowing for more deliberate and spin-heavy play.
Control is where this blade truly excels, offering precise placement and execution across all shots. Its responsive nature and manageable speed make it forgiving and adaptable to various playing styles. Players report very few weaknesses in its control characteristics, making it a reliable choice for those who prioritize consistency and accuracy in their game.
TSP Besty FL delivers a very smooth touch with minimal vibration, creating a direct and bouncy feel that maintains good ball connection. The thin top layer contributes to this tactile experience, offering players clear feedback while still providing the responsive character typical of composite blades.
The Arylate Carbon layers combined with flexible wood construction typically produce a medium-high throw angle. This facilitates spin-heavy loops with good arc, helping players clear the net comfortably while maintaining offensive pressure.
The combination of Arylate Carbon and wood construction provides moderate to good dwell time, allowing players to impart significant spin on serves and topspins. This characteristic supports spin-oriented play styles where ball contact time is crucial for rotation generation.
TSP Besty FL offers balanced flexibility—it's thin and flexy enough for good ball pocketing during strokes, yet maintains sufficient stiffness for stability in aggressive play. This middle-ground flexibility supports both controlled shots and powerful attacks.
This blade exhibits very low vibration levels, contributing to its smooth feel and enhanced control. The material combination effectively absorbs excess shock during impact, making it comfortable for extended play sessions while maintaining good feedback.
While specific quality ratings are limited, user experiences suggest TSP Besty FL maintains good playing condition over time, with used models showing only slight signs of wear. The construction appears solid and durable, typical of TSP's reputation for reliable equipment that withstands regular play without significant degradation.
Technology
TSP Besty FL utilizes a 5+2 construction that integrates two Arylate Carbon layers within five wood plies. This technology combines the controlled elasticity and spin-enhancing properties of Arylate Carbon with the natural feel of wood. The Arylate fibers provide vibration-dampening qualities and excellent spin generation, while the carbon component adds stiffness and speed. This hybrid approach creates a more controlled and spin-friendly alternative to blades relying solely on carbon for power, offering players a unique balance of composite performance with wood-like touch.
Similar Blades
Butterfly Viscaria
While TSP Besty FL is distinctly different from Butterfly ALC blades like the Viscaria, players often compare them as Arylate Carbon options. Besty FL offers a softer feel and more controlled speed, making it an appealing alternative for those who find mainstream ALC blades too aggressive. It provides composite performance with enhanced spin focus and better accessibility for players prioritizing control over extreme power.
