FL, 91g.
As the title says, I think this blade is nearly identical to the Zhang Jike ALC, just with a different design.
The balance point is toward the grip, and with the round FL grip shape, the only difference I felt from the Zhang Jike ALC was the weight.
So the key points are:
1. A stronger arc than outer ZLC blades! 2. The feel and handling are similar to ZLC. Being softer, it still holds the ball firmly! 3. The backhand is especially good, and you can really feel the ball holding on the blade!
and the same goes for comparisons with other blades.
It's easy to power-loop half-long backspin balls, and compared to ZLC it holds the ball better and the blade is thicker, so you get more distance, more power, and more spin — it has that 7-ply feel, which I like. Compared to the Timo Spin, this blade holds the ball firmly and you can really feel the benefit of the grip-side balance point.
Compared to the Stradivarius, there are fewer weird overshoot misses, and I can feel the difference from the construction (aramid carbon with ayous filler vs. the Lin Gaoyuan ALC's ALC and limba). I think advanced players would prefer the Lin Gaoyuan ALC more.
The downside is that, being such a mainstream choice, it's hard to stand out from other players using it.
I've also reviewed it on my blog, so please check that out too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This is a classic mainstream Butterfly ALC blade.
From the ply construction to the type of carbon, it's no different from the Timo Boll ALC.
About the only change is that, if you use the ST grip, the grip shape becomes oval.
I think it's worth considering based on your grip preference.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

First of all, the feel is really nice — it felt similar to an inner ZLC blade. The weight is 87g, which feels basically identical to the Viscaria. Also, personally I felt it paired really well with DNA Platinum.

This is a modern table tennis blade. Every stroke performs excellently on it.
What I like most about this blade is the control, the crisp feedback, and the dwell time.
The dwell time control is excellent — the moment the ball touches the blade it responds instantly, letting you play a variety of strokes with great quality in both spin and speed.
In my opinion, this is basically an upgraded version of the Viscaria, with more control, spin, and speed.
It's a blade suited for mid-to-long distance play.
To get the best shots with plastic balls, use as hard a rubber as you can.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

It's an outer ALC blade, but personally I think the design looks cool.
A lot of pro players use it too, and I see a lot of people using it at prefectural tournaments as well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

My impression using this with Rasant R53 is that it felt hard and hard to control at first — I found it tricky to do counter-hits.
On the other hand, I think R48 is easier to use — though that comes down to personal preference.
As for the blade's feel, I felt it was easy to grip the ball and it felt soft.
