    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as an outer carbon racket that balances offensiveness with ease of use, supported by a wide range of players from beginners to advanced. Multiple reviews emphasize the importance of rubber selection and adaptation period.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent speed and power from outer carbon construction
    • Outstanding compatibility with sticky rubbers
    • Optimal balance of ball retention and stability
    • Easy to handle and adapt to even for beginners
    • Performance adjustable through rubber selection
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe power of outer carbon and ball retention from ALC create excellent hitting feel. It offers both aggressive power and stability with good balance, making it an ideal all-around racket.
    ▽ CriticalDifficult for beginners to handle, with overly thick grip unsuitable for players with small hands. Initial excessive speed causes frequent over-hitting mistakes until adaptation.

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

      Player reviews

      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!

      I love outerwear (Experience: 2〜3 years) The best outer racket

      Player reviews

      I switched from an Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC. Since it's an outer string, it doesn't have as good ball control as an inner string, but it still grips the ball quite well. I've put Dignics 05 on both my forehand and backhand, and both my loop drives and drives are strong. It's definitely easier to counter and play very aggressively. Compared to the Ovtcharov, the center of gravity is closer to the grip, so it's easier to change direction. If you're struggling to choose an outer string racket, give this one a try.

      I love table tennis (high school student) (Experience: 4〜5 years)

      Player reviews

      This racket is seriously good! I switched from the Innerforce ALC, and at first it was a little too powerful, but once I got used to it, my counters and backspin shots became much faster, and I was able to score more points.
      For rubber, thick rubber on both sides is the most stable. For the forehand, slightly tacky or tacky rubber is recommended.

      Kitsune Saburo Tokimaru (Experience: 2〜3 years) It's incredibly strong!!! I recommend it to everyone.

      Player reviews

      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.

      Player reviews

      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.

    • Dignics lover

      Dignics lover (Experience: 2〜3 years) Way too high-performance!!!

      Player reviews

      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!

      Zaia03 dependent (Experience: 4〜5 years) Insane explosive power

      Player reviews

      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.
