alright, I shall test them out. Have played with many of my friend's alc's, just need to test out what long 3 would feel like. Still, I'd like to know what people think who have played with both these blades.
Long 3 is a 7 ply clipper like blade. If you have friends with a Stiga Clipper try that out. The PD437 I mentioned is a similar blade and recommended because it's best value for price. There are other blades that might approximate the characteristics like a Yasaka Falck W7 or Xiom Solo.
I can't recommend you get either blade unfortunately. Both are expensive and you don't want to spend that sort of money without knowing what will suit you better. I recommend you wait until later and keep playing with Ma Lin carbon until you have a firm grasp of your options.
How’s the handle compared to Viscaria or Fan Zhendong ALC?
No, tb alc is faster, stiffer, more direct.
Viscaria is typically pretty available and has a significantly thicker handle, wonder if you'd like that if you have the opportunity to get one.so i tested out both dhs long 3 with g1 fh and rakza x bh and tb alc with tenergy 05 fh and yasaka valmo bh.
the dhs felt really weird without the carbon feeling and slower close to the table, but had more control and more power when you stepped away from the table. The ball produced a high arc with loads of spin and the loop was monstrous but a 7 ply wood blade is not my cup of tea.
The tb on the hand had the exact right amount of spin, speed and control to finish a point. I enjoyed the carbon feeling more and the ball produced a lower arc compared to the long 3. The only thing i dont like about the tb is the smaller handle since my hands are big, otherwise its perfect for me ig.
Given that the fzd alc has a slightly thicker handle, and qualities similar to the alc, ig I'll lean towards purchasing that and hopefully it will suit me for the better
well everyone recommended the fzd since it has a slightly thicker core and an even thicker grip than the viscaria
