Timo Boll ALC handle

[MDanielCRO]

Hello

I want some informations about TB ALC handles, I am currently using fl handle and I don't feel like it's very comfortable. It's also not easy to change grip and hurst my thumb when i play for longer time. Handle feels too thin I would say. Does anybody have the same issue?
Can someone tell me something about straight handle or even anatomic, because I would like to replace it with something more comfortable.. thanks

I had the exact same problems with my ALC ST back then. It was too tiny, skinny and short and I kept worrying during plays if it'll slip, so i changed to ALC FL. ALC FL solved my problem with the handle being too short, it was a bit longer and wider. Now, i'm experiencing problems with my FL because I also feel the inward curve for the handle is too deep and that makes me uncomfortable using it. I also experience aching in my hand. Don't consider using the ST cause it's smaller (in length and in overall thickness) in handle.

I used Xiom Ignito before ALC and the handle was very good. Not too short, and not too skinny.
I'm opting to go to Viscaria since they (ALC and Viscaria) have almost the same materials and I have used my friends Viscaria and the handle for me was perfect..

Thanks a lot! Do you know where to buy viscaria? because there are a lot of fake viscaria products. I will try it for sure

yes, as a matter of fact, timo boll alc (I am using fl) is really too thin. I have a small hand, and I already feel it is too thin - I cannot imagine if you have a big hand. I tried Jun Mizutani FL before and it is a lot more comfortable than timo boll alc because it is fatter and the grip feel right.

I guess part of the problem why the ALC in FL and ST feels small is how unusually squarish they are. They were the only ones I felt unusual about. Most of the blades I used, from Stiga, Andro, and other Butterfly blades were not that squarish. They're flatter and not squarish, so I guess that makes them a little bit wider.

I'm only buying from an online store based in our country, they're called Topcoms. Their online store is pingpongonline.com. They're legit because I've ordered from them several times and got no issues whatsoever, and our sponsored table tennis equipment come from them. I've also personally visited their main store. It was actually nice. So, yup, try topcoms.

Are you saying that their ALC has different handle?
