ALC vs ZLC

[Silver Server]

Yes, ALC has increased in popularity in recent years.

Any particular reason why it’s chosen over other fibers?

 

[zeio]

Mostly driven by the results of top players that use them. Price is another.

ZJK revived the Viscaria, the first model of ALC, around the world. The FL version was discontinued in Japan (while available elsewhere) in late 2006 (the ST version was discontinued longer ago) but then both FL and ST were re-released in 4/2019 due to demand.
