The Butterfly Fan Zhendong ALC FL (Flared handle) is a professional offensive blade crafted in collaboration with Fan Zhendong, the current World No. 1 and one of the most dominant players in modern table tennis. Combining Butterfly’s Arylate-Carbon (ALC) technology with precision craftsmanship, this blade delivers the explosive power, stable control, and spin-rich performance that defines Fan Zhendong’s dynamic style.
The Fan Zhendong ALC blade features a 5-ply wood + 2-ply Arylate-Carbon construction. The Carbon layers expand the sweet spot and provide stability during fast exchanges, while the Arylate fibers soften vibrations for improved touch and feel. This balance makes the blade powerful enough for aggressive attacking play yet responsive enough for control in the short game.
With a design inspired by Fan Zhendong’s signature playing characteristics, this blade offers a slightly softer, more flexible touch compared to purely carbon blades, while still delivering world-class offensive speed. Its composition ensures optimal dwell time for generating heavy spin and precise ball placement.
The FL (Flared) handle provides a secure, comfortable grip that feels natural in the hand, even during long rallies. It allows quick adjustments in fast-paced exchanges and adds confidence to every stroke.
The Fan Zhendong ALC is built for modern offensive players who want to dominate with a combination of speed, spin, and precision. It excels in:
Topspin Looping: The elastic ALC layers provide the dwell time needed to create devastating spin with consistent arc.
Mid-Distance Counter-Loops: Stability and large sweet spot make counter-attacking reliable and powerful.
Fast Attacks & Drives: The Carbon reinforcement gives explosive acceleration for finishing points with speed.
Blocking & Touch Play: Arylate fibers absorb unwanted vibration, making blocks, pushes, and flicks more controlled and precise.
Compared to classics like the Butterfly Viscaria or Timo Boll ALC, the Fan Zhendong ALC offers a slightly more controlled feel with similar offensive capabilities. It’s perfectly suited for players who want a professional-grade offensive blade with balanced touch and power.
