Fzd alc and Viscaria are very different.

Fzd alc has more control, Viscaria catapults more.
I just recently (< 1 week) got my fzd alc running after playing viscaria for about 2 years and I feel the same way.

Same rubbers on both set ups

Vis 92g
FZD 91g

Differences I noticed:
FZD handle feels much more square. Bouncing the ball on the paddle, I was surprised how much less rebound it had but also how much more clear the vibrations were compared to the viscaria.

One thing that I thought was very strange was that the viscaria's handle feels much more dense than the fzd... But that could just be 2 years with of sweat soaking in... 😅 I really like that dense handle feeling and the difference is so noticable that I'm wondering if the vis has a solid handle and the fzd has a hollow one

Overall though, it wasn't so different that I had to do any major adjustments to my tech. I mainly switched because I have large hands and thought that it might be more comfortable when I played for a long time. Something else I noticed is that my backhand grip seems a bit more stable/repeatable because of the square handle.
