Viscaria vs Timo Boll ALC — identical figures, different blades

Both products use the same manufacturer scale, so these figures can be read side by side.

This comparison starts with a slightly deflating fact: the two blades share identical official reaction and vibration figures, down to the decimal.

The construction matches too — five plies with two outer arylate-carbon layers on both. On the performance indicators the manufacturer publishes, there is no way to tell them apart.

What is left is physical. Thickness and average weight differ: Viscaria is the thinner of the two, Timo Boll ALC slightly thicker. Thinner gives a more direct response at the fingertips; thicker leaves the ball on the face a fraction longer. The handle shapes differ as well.

So this choice has no "which is better" answer. Holding both handles in a shop will settle it far faster than hunting for a review that declares a winner — and the matching figures are exactly what points to that conclusion.
