Fan Zhendong ALC
💡 Who this suits
Good reaction speed, well suited to attacking play, with a moderately crisp feel that works across a range of styles.
About this product
The entry point of the Fan Zhendong line, at ₩195,000 — roughly half the models above it — with reaction of 11.8, 12th of 45.
What is interesting is that this shares its exact reaction and vibration figures with Timo Boll ALC. What separates them is thickness (6.0mm against 5.7mm) and handle shape, not performance. A clear demonstration that the player’s name on a blade does not divide the numbers.
At 6.0mm it is the thickest in this line. A thicker blade flexes less and pushes the ball away, and sends back less information — the opposite direction from the thinner models above it.
If you are moving to carbon for the first time and want the character of the upper line, this is the sensible place. Twelfth of 45 is not a low position.
What the numbers say
Outer 5-ply + 2 ALC plies 6mm. Its reaction of 7.9 ranks 11 of 46 blades, on the high side. It is on the stiffer, less flexible side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.

Where this blade sits
Reaction and vibration figures Butterfly publishes for 46 of its blades (official 1–15 scale). Further right means more reaction; higher means more vibration. Neither axis is "better" — they describe character. Other brands use different scales and are not mixed in.
