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

    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.

  • @MrJackJWu

    @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.
