Fan Zhendong ALC Blade Review | With João Geraldo

[@blueheart9873]

I had a Lin Gaoyuan ALC which is also considered a Viscaria clone. It was perfect for BH, but I prefer limba outer ply with inner carbon on FH. It felt too stiff for FH

[@ronnybrannstrom8021]

I play with Zhendong ALC 🙂

[@Pablo-vr8sv]

Dan i wait a meet with a great chopper like Gionis or legend like Chtchetinine

[@최현일-h8g]

제가 두 블레이드를 써본결과 판이 비카보다 비거리가 조금 더 짧은거 같은데 비스카리아와 판젠동alc의 스펙은 동일하네요~~

[@DoDo-ww1oi]

I tried.

[@nguyenanhquynh7322]

hope to have Geraldo back for more reviews with TTD in the future

[@backspacer92]

Love that he is so into equipment. Get him to do more reviews with you if possible! Should also note that Butterfly raised the price of the Viscaria from 130€ to 170€.

[@Zidane13893]

the price of viscaria in Japan is higher than (EU and USA) and the handle of Viscaria is probably the best one and the main reason of bestselling

[@backspacer92]

@@Zidane13893 yeah, I saw like half a year ago that the Matsudaira ALC is cheaper than the Viscaria which is strange because here all the named ALCs were more expensive before the price increase.

[@ВалентинРанченко]

ye, but quality getting lower and lower every year. Recently bought 85 gramm viscaria TBE---it was only named viscaria. so awful blade butterfly produce for europe, that i was shoked🤮

João is a gentleman, really nice guy to have on the channel :)

[@gabrielooi3816]

Butterfly: FZD you are a world champion and world number 1. It's time you have your own blade. FZD: Nah I'm good. I'm so used to the Viscaria I wouldn't want to change. Butterfly: You don't understand. We are under a lot of pressure to make your signature blade. People are asking for it. FZD: Ah what the hell, just make another Viscaria and put my name on it and let's call it a day Butterfly: Um okay?

[@gab5012]

they've been doing that for years mate, they did that with timo boll and they did that with kenta and zhang jike. Except Zhang Jike had his own signicture blade line and STILL didn't change from viscaria just sold the ZJK alc lmao. They are all every so slightly different in wieght distribution, some might jahve a mm thicker handle the boll alc is reportedly stiffer but the differences are so minimal it's arguably just placebo and factory inconsistency.

[@ben-j8871]

You right! This is just how business works.

[@Teluric2]

The theory that fan was using viscaria is next to grey aliens and interdimensional portals

[@blueheart9873]

​@@Teluric2 He has always used Viscaria. Even when he was sponsored by Stiga he just got a Viscaria with custom handle to make it look like Stiga Infinity

[@jiboo6850]

@@Teluric2 hahaha! this is so a known fact that he uses Viscaria. even in this video they confirmed it. who are you to say otherwise? nobody.

[@tampabaytabletennis]

Awesome review and amazing shots from both of you! What a great player to have with you reviewing the FZD ALC. I'm using a Viscaria so it's always interesting to hear feedback on the blades modeled after it. Thanks!!!

[@tattedtabletennisplayer]

I freaking love this guy. I watch him all the time. He’s like my spirit animal. 😂

[@Rourou_Liu]

Fan should be invited to test the blade in your channel. Hopefully one day you can do that.

[@twenty4seven368]

Too bad Fan probably said no.

[@tt_highlights]

There is a Video with fzd and one xu Xin about the carbonado blade

[@johncraigsisac]

Awesome thx Dan. I struggled between FZD alc and harimoto alc for my 8 years old girl. I think I will get Harimoto alc for her as it’s more close to wood feeling.👍

[@advit2110]

It also depends on the rubber though

[@atanashajiiski]

Would love to see The ZLC version reviewed as well, probably could be worth trying out different variations of same blade (Fan’s,Ball’s etc.. for vest comparison)

[@Brozi]

Great video! It's a shame that you couldn't invite Fan Zhendong to review the blade.

[@SvanteSandstrom]

I have Waits for this review. Ty😀

Hi Dan great video . When will you do review on glayzer 09c and glayzer comparison to dignics 09 c and dignics 05

[@pingpongstev]

Thanks the review, it helps to choose for next set up

[@南加南]

Hello Dan -- thanks for this wonderful FZD ALC testing video. What rubbers have you put on both sides of this FZD ALC, T05, D05 or D09C? Or maybe others, such as from DONIC or XIOM ? Thanks.

[@christian_tt]

Can you maybe test next time from Butterfly the Glayzer and the Glayzer 09c ?

[@user-en9cu6hm1p]

still waiting for a glayzer review :(

[@juliusstryhn4255]

It could be awesome if you could do a glayzer review of both the normal and the 09c❤

can you test the Xiom An Jaehyun TMX blade and new Jekyll& Hyde rubbers (Z series especially?)

[@o0quicKz0o]

Nice review 😊 Could you maybe review Stiga Intensity NCT (long time blade of Xu Xin) or Ma Lin Extra Offensive. These are basically the same blades and 5 ply wood blades, so I guess also suitable for non professional players. Would be really interesting to see a review of these.

[@parkerrobbins8704]

It was mentioned this FZ ALC has a slightly more direct feeling than Viscaria. I thought I had heard similar about Timo Boll ALC. Any comment on the comparison for those two?

[@jameshamilton6096]

Fantastic review as always, however what Rubber where you both using?

Dan, what kind of rubbers do you pair with!

[@tabletennisaddict2221]

Dan what about a Review with Nima/ Noshad Alamian?

[@isaachernandez8043]

This blade is a monster in its own right and you need to pair this blade with your own personal preference in rubber it is a difficult blade to handle all in all

[@Xeanowos]

close your eyes and listen to their sounds. its interesting...

[@savell234]

Falck carbon?

[@angelogregorio1503]

Nice review ,, can I have one of those blade heheheh

[@Roccorocco892]

João Geraldo had good point he needs Koto on forehand and limba on the backhand so why not to make blade with one side harder wood and other side softer wood ? Will be perfect!

[@MrJackJWu]

The Xiom Ice Cream AZX has a koto outer ply, a limba inner ply, and a kiri core. However, sandwiched between the koto and limba plies, the AZX has an outer carbon ply of ZLC on one side and an outer ply of ALC on the other side. This allows its user to have different playing characteristics on each side. The ALC allows for a softer, stiffer, and springier feel while the ZLC allows for a harder and more elastic feel. These outer carbon plies are felt immediately on most strokes. A truly special blade that allows you to tailor it to your style of play.

[@Roccorocco892]

Yes i knew about the xiom doing that I think you got other companies that doing it different carbon each side but top layer of wood it’s hard to find , I’m just saying why butterfly not doing it ? Most the people prefer butterfly blades they hold the value and they very good balance and quality (the made in Japan ones) 🇯🇵

[@MrJackJWu]

@@Roccorocco892 Not sure. I think Xiom is the only company doing it. I don't see Nittaku, Tibhar, Joola, Donic, etc. doing it.

[@patmcc7758]

FH Dignics 09c definitely. It is a brilliant rubber if you have strong topspin on your FH. It can be as fast or slow as you wish.

where is FanZhendong? 😊

[@SayoNo08]

Review the Yinhe v 14 pro(30th anniversary )is a 55 euro blade that is like viscaria/time boll and I rlly want to know ur opinion on that and if its worthy to buy

[@birthright94]

It is worth to buy but it's faster than viscaria/FZD blade. It's more like Timo Bol ALC, just a bit stiffer/faster. If you like fast and hard blades then it is very good. If you're not used to the speed of the blade and want more control look for innerforce blade instead.

Waaaaay to expensive .... I really don't see the benefit of a 100+€ blade compared to a cheaper one between 50-100 .... of course the super cheap below 50 ones are often kinda bad but even there sometimes you get something usuable. I guess you have to be a professional to actually make use of whatever difference there is.
