Close-to-table fast attack (Experience: ４〜５ years) Viscaria!?

I used the FL handle at 89 grams.
I feel like all the blades made for Chinese players (Zhang Jike, Lin Gaoyuan, etc.) are basically built around the Viscaria. This one is no exception — overall it felt similar to the Viscaria. For rubbers, I went a little out of my comfort zone with National Hurricane 3 on 40-degree blue sponge, plus Dignics 64, which suits fast-attack players. Overall, it might feel a little too fast for tacky rubber users, but since Chinese players choose it, it really does pair well with tacky rubber. It's also a bit on the heavy side, so it's perfect for anyone who wants something a little heavier than the Viscaria. I'd definitely recommend everyone give it a try!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I purchased the FL 90g version. I switched from a 5-ply wood racket, and initially, the most striking feature was the sheer power, but I quickly got used to it after a week. I would recommend this racket to anyone looking for power, even those who previously used inner carbon or wood rackets. Butterfly's ALC series is suitable for a wide range of players. The Fan Zhendong ALC combines the power of outer carbon with the flexibility of ALC, resulting in an exceptional feel.
The only downside to this racket is that it might be difficult for beginners to handle; otherwise, it's a truly excellent racket. The design is also cool.
As for suitable rubbers, since it's a Butterfly racket, Butterfly's Grazer, Tenergy, Dig series, and even some German tension rubbers would work well. I wouldn't recommend extremely fast rubbers, but they might improve once you get used to them... basically, anything should work.
My current rubbers are V20 Double Extra MAX on the forehand and Hybrid MK MAX on the backhand. I hope this is helpful.

The packaging was very careful, and the product arrived in perfect condition.
Upon actually holding it, I was very satisfied with its solid construction.
The Fan Zhendong ALC feels like a well-balanced racket, offering both offensive power and stability.
I'm looking forward to using it more.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It really feels like an "attacking blade!" — on top of great speed, it puts good spin on the ball too. It has carbon in it and flies really well, so real care is needed. I think softer rubbers like Dignics or Tenergy suit it well. Personally, I think thick suits it best out of the thickness options.
At first you'll probably overshoot a lot, but I think you get used to it the more you use it? I use the ST handle, and it's really easy to hold, and more than anything, the "Fan Zhendong" mark printed on it looks cool — that matters too, right (lol). I think this works for everyone from beginners to advanced players! Please give it a try!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This blade's ply is very hard, but it grips the ball really well.
You can completely overpower opponents with counters and topspin rallies.
That said, it's also very fast and hard, so think about rubber compatibility before you buy.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

This was my first special-material blade, so I was a little nervous, but even as a first-timer it felt easy to use. At first I had Rakza X Soft on the forehand and Glayzer on the backhand, but it flew too much and my game wasn't stable. After doing some research and trying different rubbers, I found that it pairs well with tacky rubber, and my play started to settle down. I'm especially impressed with how precise the short game is with this blade. That said, the grip has a thicker shape that didn't suit my small hands, and I ended up getting blisters at the base of my middle and ring fingers. So if the grip doesn't suit you, you'll probably need to shave it down. I shaved my grip down to make it easier to hold, and my play got even more stable — now it's become my ultimate blade!

At first I used VICTAS's Triple Double Extra on both sides of the Fan Zhendong ALC.
Out of curiosity I switched to Hurricane, and that turned out to be the right call.
The forehand feels a little too fast, but it's well within an acceptable range.
Please try this combination for yourself!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
