Butterfly Timo Boll ALC Review

Read On:

Both blades have different functions, and that is what makes them unique. The alc is built with Arylate carbon fiber which adds a good hardness and a soft hit. It is best for playing defense and is a balanced blade.

The ZLC, however, is a little rigid and will require some more energy or force to gain control. Both blades can serve as looping blades and are suited for players with strong skillsets. The two blades are relatively slim and used for similar attacking styles.

Different Functions

• Boll ALC has better damping, and Boll ZLC is easier to deform.
• Boll ALC is ARYLATE Carbon, and Boll  ZLC is ZLYON Carbon.

Different Materials

• Boll ALC is equipped with ARYLATE carbon fiber, which is very tough in the hand, soft in hitting, strong in pulling the ball, and very stable in defense. It is a relatively balanced and comprehensive blade.
• Boll ZLC uses ZL carbon fiber, which is very rigid, better elasticity, very violent, and requires a certain amount of power to control.
• Both are loop blade, ALC is easier to get started, and ZLC is suitable for players with stronger basic skills.

Different Structure

• The structure of Boll ALC is “koto+AL carbon+ayous+Kiri Wood +ayous+AL carbon+koto” .
• The structure of Boll ZLC is “koto+ZL carbon+ayous+Kiri Wood +ayous+ZL carbon+koto” .
• ALC and ZLC carbon are different, ZLC is slightly softer. Both blades are relatively thin, suitable for a speed and coherent attacking style of play.
