Zhang Jike ALC / Viscaria - alternative with inner fiber construction

[amoc]

Hi everyone,

I've been playing the Zhang Jike ALC (a Viscaria with a different grip design, so to speak) for 2 years now. And so far I'm very happy with it.
However, I would like to try something different again and am now looking for a blade with the following characteristics:
- Similar concave handle, possibly a bit fuller. But with this characteristic broadening towards the blade.
- Similar crisp feeling
- Similar top speed
- It should be a little more flexible, so simply not quite as stiff.

After a lot of reading, I usually end up with inner ZLC blades and think that might be a good fit. What do you think of the idea in principle? And do you have any concrete suggestions?

In inner ZLC blades, the ZLC (PBO carbon) is inserted between the middle layer and the center layer of 5-ply wood construction. In Jank Jike or Vicaria blade, ALC (Arylate carbon) is closer to the blade surface (Kiri, Limba, ALC, Koto).
The Innerforce ZLC blade will be slower compared to Your usage. You will only feel the speed when hitting harder.
Unfortunately, I can't compare the specific gameplay feel of the ALZ to the Innerforce ZLC, but you can find a lot of comparisons by visiting ttgearlab.com
I personally play with Tibhar Libra ZAC (same structure as BF Innerforce products: the top layer is Limba, the middle layer is Ayous and the center layer is also Ayous. Hybrid ZAC is inserted between the middle layer and the center layer), and I've just tried my colleague's Viscaria...so Vicaria is definitely faster.

Maybe FZDALC? The handle is wider than ZJKALC and the balance is more in the handle but the construction is the same

I have played Vis, ZJK ALC and FZD ALC.

Your next one should be FZD ALC. About 15% slower than ZJK when hitting close to table. But noticeable faster and spinnier than ZJK when looping away from the table.

I also own a W968, FZD ALC feels very similar to W968 - soft feeling, long dwell time and amazing control and feel. In fact FZD's feel is more clear than my 968
