  1. My Fan Zhendong ALC blade has arrived

    Not sure about the year, 2021 or 2020. What I know for sure is that it was from the U Series. Before Viscaria I had a Timo Boll ALC, same U series, didn't like it either. The handle and balance of FZD ALC is slightly different. Feed-back/vibration is also a big thing, but what sets apart these...

  2. My Fan Zhendong ALC blade has arrived

    There are physical differences between them: elasticity and hardness. I hope I'm not wrong to say that ZLC is more elastic (faster) and stiffer than ALC. However, the PROs usually go for ALC, as it lends more dwell and has crisper feeling. All in all ALC blades, IMO, are more versatile, covering...

  3. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    tt_beginner;357246 probably not so big a difference but the AZX just a little bit faster than the AZXi based on the structure? Things are very relative here. There are two aspects to consider when it comes to speed: Primary elasticity and Central elasticity. Please check TTGEARLAB site. I see...

  4. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    Cannot say anything about SAL but I've tried a friends ICECREAM AZXi and my recollection is that it's slower than ALX. Generally speaking it should be slower but YMMV. Comparisons in these manner are usually very limited. To have a batter view one should use same rubbers , blades compared to...

  5. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    As a rule of thumb inner structures have lower COR (coefficient of restitution) compared to outer structures that are usually harder and stiffer, thus making inner slower than outer structures. But this is a generalization and doesn't say anything about blade power (a function of material...

  6. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    I guess that speed might be a factor and I can relate to that. Albeit it's high control, the ALX is a fast blade. The rubbers I use are not fast ones, but there's a great feeling of push behind them from the lively and springy blade. With fast tensor rubbers things could get really wild. I...

  7. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    What an amazing blade (36.5 ALX), weird but in good sense. Finishing is above everything I've grabbed my hands on, koto surface and handle are nice and very smooth. Too bad they've used cheap lens/logos. Mine came in 87 grams, flared handle. This is my first impression - only one session - and...
