Fan Zhendong ALC Blade Review | With João Geraldo
Спорт
Hey guys! In this video we’re joined with the European Team Champion and World Number 40 Joao Geraldo who loves to test equipment!
So the World Number 1 and 2022 World Champion Fan Zhendong has his own signature ALC blade out now with Butterfly.
We tested the blade to see how it stacks up to other blades we have tested including the Viscaria which this blade is based on.
I used Tenergy 05 on my forehand and Dignics 05 on my backhand, Joao used the Dignics 05 on both his forehand and and backhand. Enjoy!

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

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

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

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

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?

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.

Top guy Geraldo
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!!!
Awesome!! Great review Dan. Still givin them all a good run around!!! Love it!! Leo
I freaking love this guy. I watch him all the time. He’s like my spirit animal. 😂
Joao is definitely a top bloke! Looking forward to working with him in the future 👀
Thanks the review, it helps to choose for next set up
Would love to see Fan Zhendong ZLC in a future video !
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)
I have Waits for this review. Ty😀
Amazing Joao, one of my favourite lefties 🔥🔥
waiting for Glayzer review soon! on ALC blades like FZD specially :)
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.👍
Petition for Geraldo to get his new custom blade (Koto FH, Limba BH)
thank you nice review
Awesome Dan.. Next Plies try Yasaka Alnade ALC , thanks
Fan should be invited to test the blade in your channel. Hopefully one day you can do that.

There is a Video with fzd and one xu Xin about the carbonado blade
Hi Dan great video . When will you do review on glayzer 09c and glayzer comparison to dignics 09 c and dignics 05
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.
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.
Great video! It's a shame that you couldn't invite Fan Zhendong to review the blade.

Hey Dan, would you please try the new rubbers from butterfly?..... The rubbers are the Glayzer 09c and Glayzer
a gentle reminder that this guy almost won against FZD in their first encounter
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?
Can you maybe test next time from Butterfly the Glayzer and the Glayzer 09c ?
It also depends on the rubber though
It could be awesome if you could do a glayzer review of both the normal and the 09c❤

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.
Test the amultar zlc
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
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
Жыл бұрын
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.

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) 🇯🇵

@birthright94
Жыл бұрын
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.
