As a table tennis lover here in China, I got a lot of chance to communicate with the players in the national table tennis team of China. All the versions of hurricane 3 that you can find on the official shops are not the actual ones the national team use. Their version generates more speed whilst remain the high spin of Hurricane. You can try one of these special made rubbers, they will perform better than the official ones.
Hi Soldat 99. Thanks for the question. I find that this blade is well balanced and would consider it as grip heavy more than the blade top. Hope this helps.
@@ttpassion thx for replied. i never use professional rubber. today i just changed to nimbus 2.0 with maximum speed for my Forehand side. just to test how it feel. if i can adapt to it well. i will change to the same rubbers as yours in the end of the year. btw. i will put on my wood Tihbar light. after i feel comfortable i will change to carbon wood. what is your views or suggestion for my planing . feel free to suggest me.
Hi Simon, thanks for the question. Between the two, I would prefer FZD ALC. That's because I feel that W968 is softer and so FZD ALC gives me greater feel when striking the ball.
Hi Bill. Thanks for your question. I was a Hurricane 3 FH user for many years and is a big fan of it. However after trying D80, I find it really suitable for my FH and gives me a lot of speed when looping. It's still very individual preference.
Nice video! It would be better if you can increase the frame rate of the video (or simply the shutter speed? I’m not sure though) to show more detail of the motion of the ball. BTW, I just purchased one FZD alc too, but I’m still wondering what rubber should I choose, Dignics and Tenergies are a little too expansive for me😂 if there is any alternative you would recommend for forehand that is more affordable? Thanks😊😊😊
Thanks for the suggestion on the frame rate. Will do so. For the rubbers, backhand im using rakza 7. I think its a decent and value for money rubber. For forehand could be hurricane 3 neo or Niitaku Fastarc G-1
Hi Ronald, the 2 blades are relatively different. SALC is much faster than ALC, and so I can't say if FZD ALC is better or not. But for myself, I would think FZD ALC is easier to control and much more comfortable for my playing style.
Hey, man, great review! One question for you: between Fan Zhendong ALC, Stiga Cybershape Carbon and DHS Hurricane Long 5, what will be your choice? I'll be happy if you can make a comparison. Thank you in advance and keep up the good work!
Hi Alexandru, great question. Personally, I will give cybershape a pass as I found it a little heavy and its weight seems off balance due to it's design. Between FZD ALC and W968, I would choose W968 as it does have an edge over the FZD ALC in my opinion in terms of power and control. But FZD ALC is still awesome and definitely stands out for it's price range.
Is Fanzheng ALC Produce low arc... I want direct Felling..... Low traijectory.... Currently M using hurricane 301 with hurricane 2 in forehand.... But still produce medium to high arc.... Kindly reply....😢 M planing to buy a new blade which can produce low arc with speed and spin..... Sugest me a low arc producing blade....
Hi AstaMak, thanks for your question. Personally, I'm not a fan of Rozena as I feel it's too soft. I wouldn't recommend it to pair the FZD ALC with Rozena unless you really enjoy using Rozena. Otherwise, you would be better off pairing it with Butterfly's Dignics series rubbers or similar to the setup I had in the review.
@ttpassion hi winson i find that i don’t really like the rozena on FZD ALC on my BH so i’m looking to replace both rubbers. Would you find that Tenergy 05 Hard on FH and Dignics 05 BH be a good combo? Or is Dignics 09C better for BH?
@AstaMak Hi! Dignics rubber are definitely much better options. However, if you are on a budget you can consider the new Glayzer series too. I find it much better than Rozena and produce good quality shots. It may not be as fast and spinny as Dignics but it's a decent choice. You can try Glayzer 09C for FH and Glayzer for BH.
Hi Sornsi, thanks for your question. I have tried before Lin Gaoyuan ALC but not extensively. Based on what I feel, I find the 2 blade largely similar. But FZD ALC seems to have slightly better control to me.
Hi Amit, thanks for the question. Between the two, I felt that FZD ALC is softer and has slightly better control. And it is also thicker than Timo Boll ALC, which adds a little bit more power for offense.
Hi Astamak, both are great choices. Long 5 is great if you are already able to produce explosive shots because of the inner carbon layer. It will take more effort than FZD ALC to produce explosive shots because for FZD ALC the outer carbon would make it easier to generate powerful shots. So it depends on what's your current playing style and how much explosive power you possess currently.
Hello Winson, Recently, I lost in the third round of a tournament. I’m playing with a Butterfly Ovtcharov ALC G1 2.0 (BH) and Glayzer 05 (FH). I’m good at blocking and backhand loops and smashes, but most of my blocks and backhand smashes missed the table by just an inch. My current setup feels heavy (187g) during transitions. I’m thinking of buying a Viscaria with Dignics 05 (FH) and Dignics 64 (BH), as I found it good when I played with my friend’s Viscaria that had Tenergy 05 (FH) and D64 (BH). Before investing so much money, I need your suggestion. I am 39 years old."
@sumiitkumrpaul2433 Hello! Thanks for the question. I'd recommend just changing the blade first and transfer your existing rubber to a Viscaria first. This way, you don't have to immediately commit so much money for a whole new setup while you also get to test if the existing rubbers work well for you on Viscaria. From there, you could figure out if you really need to change the rubbers again. Hope this helps.
Hi, it turns out to be quite stable. I'm quite surprised by how easy it is to get adapted to it. Initially thought might be a bit difficult since it's tacky.
Hi. Thanks for your question. The racket weight i have is around 87grams. But all rackets weight may varies so if you have a particular preference, it will be good to request the weight from the seller.
Hi Navikung, personally, I would just go with ALC because Super ALC is faster and quite stiff. It will require excellent skills and techniques to be able to play it well.
@@ttpassion thank you so much for the informations. Maybe i'll go for Super ALC for more challenging cause i'm now using Timo Boll ALC, if i go for FZD ALC it wouldn't be much different.
@BeerusOP hi BeerusOP, hurricane 3 is pretty durable. Dignics usually quite durable but might get chipped off if you knock or hit the rubber against the table.
Hi, thanks for your question. Apologies for the late reply. 09c is decent for backhand but I'd recommend it for high immediate or advanced level players as it's expensive and to fully utilise its capability.
Hi. Thanks for the question. Not really, they are almost the same. My viscaria handle thickness is 23.5mm and FZD ALC is 23.6mm. So I would suppose it is meant to be the same thickness.
The blade is very fast and precise. But, it has a really low throw (low arc). Therefore it's excellent for killing shots, smashes and countertopspins against higher and spinny topspins. For blocking it's not that great, due to the low throw and high speed. Always go for active countertopspins with it. Due to speed, even playing short is difficult, at least it's pinpoint accurate for good placement. It's a blade for better players and definitely NOT for beginners. I don't agree on the "better close to the table part" entirely. I would even say, that's it's an amazing blade for topspins far from the table. Ps: Backspin balls can be attacked very easily with this blade with the right dedication. It's not a blade for weak, passive strokes!
@@ttpassion You're welcome. Good review from you. Sidenote, 2 Rozena with max thickness suits that blade just fine, if budget get's too low, since the blade itself is controllable due to the good speed and exceptional precision. What I absolutely recommend, with such blade is being as aggressive as the material provides power. Who doesn't go for the winning shot 9 out of 10 times with this blade, wastes it's beautiful potential for unrechable killer shots to the corners or the crossover point for back/forehand. What I absolutely hate with that blade, it's extremely difficult to play extremely heavy backhand topspins with more rotation than speed, the margin for error is extremely small and unforgiving for that on this blade. Ofc it's a technical issue, that's why I would recommend this blade only to advanced players with a solid technique, footwork and tactical preparation of your shots.
Hi. I won't recommend this for beginner as it' has carbon layers which might be too fast for beginners. You may want to consider 5 ply wood blade instead. For example, like Stiga Clipper which is very popular for wood blade.
Hi Fevey PROJECT, I feel that both blades are largely similar. However, the main difference is the handle grip shape. In terms of playing, I do feel that FZD ALC is slightly better in terms of control and consistency. Spin and speed are quite similar.
I played with it and it felt like i am playing with viscaria with little extra punch
Keep up the good work ☺️

fzd alc and harimoto alc which one you prefer？
Hi. Thanks for the question. Both are actually quite good. But currently I prefer outer ALC hence I would choose FZD ALC.
how would you compare FZD ALC and Hurricane Long 5 Commercial? Been thinking about giving the latter a try
Hi Astamak, both are great choices. Long 5 is great if you are already able to produce explosive shots because of the inner carbon layer. It will take more effort than FZD ALC to produce explosive shots because for FZD ALC the outer carbon would make it easier to generate powerful shots.
