Timo Boll ALC vs. ZLF

[Arne]

Hello,
I am looking for a new blade and my search is almost over, but I have come across a problem.
I would like to buy the ALC or the ZLF, but I don't know which bests suits my style.
I have heard that the ZLF is better close to the table and the ALC is better far from the table.
But my playstyle suits both, I like to play short and by the table, and I would love to have some control there.
But at the same time I love to play far off the table.
I am planning to play with a regular Tenergy 05 on FH, and aurus soft on BH, good choice?
Is it a major difference? What do you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance,
Arne.

ik zou timo boll ZLF aanraden omdat het beter bij u speelstijl past en u meer contole geeft dicht
of halflang van tafel maar nog altijd genoeg voor ver ook,ALC geeft meer controle ver van tafel maar jij speelt
meer dicht en half lang dus zou ik timo boll ZLF zeker aanbevelen

Hi Arne, they are both very similar so either will be a good choice, the zlf will mayb hav a better feel for short play and alc will be slightly harder feel, as for rubbers depends what standard you are? Tenergy is obviously most popular but haven't heard about this aurus rubber.

I have bought the ZLF, and I'm very happy of my choice Thanks for the response
The Aurus Soft is a very good rubber in my opinion, it's not so fast, but has a lot of spin and control, which is perfect for my backhand
