Help Dimitrij Ovtcharov ALC: ¿Fake or Real?

[Kyon98]

Hi guys! I'm so happy because I ordered a Dimitrij Ovtcharov ALC and today arrived!. But I'm curious about if it's real or fake. I mean everything looks good but the weight I feel it's way too light. And when I look at the wood I get a feeling that it's cheap wood. But at the same time I think I'm just overthinking. Anyway, I took some pictures of the blade and would appreciate you guys could tell me if it looks good or there is something fake in it. Thank you guys so much!

If you have original box and serial number on box matching to number on blade nothing to worry about

Mine arrived today, too. It weighs 84.5 g, is that in the usual range?

it’s on the lighter side but wood density varies. Your blade is 100% real.

it is real

real

Thank you everyone for answering!

Authentic 100%.

BTW, It is the lightest I have seen. They are usually 90-92g due to increased thickness and bigger head size.

No it is fake, so send it to me to check it out much closer and better, if it is real original then i will get it back to you in 1 month later with Authentication confirmation and a certificate maybe

OP didn't mention his blade weight

I guess, I have a fake blade. 😅

Don't worry about weight, generally lighter blades are faster to swing and play better in the new fast era of the game. They say that the tradeoff is a bit less feel, if the blade is light, but it's bull.

Good example is my Viscaria, which is 90 grams feels perfect, sharp, very clear and has a softer feel for a carbon blade. My coach's Viscaria is 82, but there's no difference between them. Maybe his feels a touch harder, but it could be the rubbers. He uses bluestorm pro and I use t05.

Weight on a blade has to do with wood density. If the density is too low and the blade is extremely light, then it could be an issue.

Some models like the Clipper for example, are known to suffer from bad feeling if they're too light. I don't know why that happens, my Clippers are 85 and 90, 90 plays better and the other feels a bit awkward.

Why ? Looks legit to me

It's J.T.T.A.

Is it normal that the lens and the JTTA print is not aligned uniformly?

 

[Rinforzando]

It's J.T.T.A.

Mine ordered directly from the BTY website also have the J.T.T.A on it

Mine is perfectly aligned but I wouldn't worry, missprint often happens with little detail like this.

Yours still seems legit to me, build quality looks as good as mine
