Many thanks for the excellent review playing against my fan Champion TIMO BOLL. I have decided to get this butterfly TB ALC with Tenergy 05 on FH and Tenergy 05 FX on BH. TIMO is a legendary yet humble champion. Looking forward to see more professional reviews and please accept my best regards.
It reminds me of that Ma Long had used Timo Boll ALC for a few months in 2011.During that time, ML's shots were fast and spinning but quite mechanical.
Fantastic video! I've had a crap week but this made my day. Thanks Timo! I have a ALC and found it a little too fast, but I loved the handle so much that I went out and bought a TB ZLF. I might be ready for the ALC again one day but the handle is fantastic.
Im looking forward to trying this blade out... should be here in a couple days, went with 2.1mm Tenergy 05fx on both side for rubber ... great interview.
Harry Law, I tried it out today, definately has more spin and a little less speed than my Hadraw SR w/ 80fx ... The ALC feels real nice. I am not nearly as good I should be to take advantage of either setup... but the ALC seems like a great setup
I just bought this blade. I tested one and the spin I got was far higher than anything I've used before, including my Super ALC. Can't wait to try it with T05 both sides and play like Timo!
Have played 4 times with my new Boll Alc. Have to say I love it and it's far more controllable and spinny than the Super Alc. Has lifted my game significantly!
wow , I come back from a work day and see this , amazing exchange with Timo . One day If my game level up a notch I will try one for sure .. Now I need more practice time . Congrats to butterfly to let you do this with the man Himself .. Keep up the good work
The boll ALC, boll spirit and the Viscaria are quite similar in terms of composition.. thanks for the review Dan, please do a review of the Stiga Arctic wood also
Could you review the Nittaku Fastarc Series (G1 P1 C1 S1)? I appreciate your work and always look forward to see your next video ? Whats your job ? Do you receive dontions so you can keep doing this. Where can i adress donations ? Greetings from Germany
I have been using the primorac carbon for 4 or 5 years how would switching to this blade affect me. I have already ordered it so there is no going back.
This is amazing maybe Ill switch to ALC one day when I feel I need a boost in the speed of my play... But thanks for the reply and MANY THANKS FOR THE VID.
Super review, Timo is a great player.. But just a little thought, and yes i know hes not playing so much anymore.. But still what about a review with Michael Maze and hes gear sometime..
timo: the blade is releasing the ball very quickly.. (2:23) dan: blade offers incredible dwell time (4:40) so now telle me how a blade can have both incredible dwell time and release the ball very quickly :D no hate, but basically almost all reviews are just how the blade or rubber have positie attributes even if they pretty much contradict eachother. They are also never really compared to other products so if they did not tell the name of the product they are reviewing it would be virtually impossible to difference them just from the review.
Also Dan hitting many net balls and outside tables while Timo returning everything and the comment is “as you can see, Timo has a very easy time countering my spin”. Yeah, I don’t think it’s the blade though lol.
I play with the Timo Boll ALC straight handle and Bluefire M1/M3 max. The blade plays just the way you describe it. I do not have any issues with it being too fast. Great spin, versatility and control. I recently got the Zhang Jike ALC with the straight handle and it fits my hand better. The ZJ ALC is an awesome blade too. I have T05 FH and T80 BH 2.1 mm Can you please review it? I like it a little better.
Hi, I checked and Dan reviewed the ZJK SZLC, not the ALC. I have the ZLC and it plays very differently than the ALC, they are worlds apart. I hope he does review the ZJK ALC, thanks.
Nice video Dan. I asked a question about Timo's reverse pendulum serve in the forum thread and was curious about your input. If you get a chance to check it out, great. Keep up the good work.
Hi Dan, your work and passion is giving us(intermediate players) plethora of information on equipments and styles. A ton of appreciation. Can you help telling me the handle/wing differences between TB ALC and Apolonia ZLC. I love the narrow wings of TB Alc (friend's blade) and want to switch to Apolonia ZLC for its high dwell. Please guide. Tata.
I'm sure it's a good blade, but it just seems difficult to justify getting a blade this expensive unless you are a really high level player because you can get perfectly good blades for a third of the prize. Edit: Well, as you yourself say, not recommended for beginners! A great blade for serious advanced players!
Hey Dan! Can you do me a favor and do a side by side comparison between viscaria and tb alc.. I am planning to buy one this month.. I love to play where I can feel the ball and control it, do you have suggestion between the two.. I love to make the ball spin. Thank you
What's the weight of Timo's blade? I've heard pros like to use heavy blades that are 95 grams and up. It would be interesting if you could ask them for us regular people. I've played w/heavy blades and they hit harder but afterwards you can feel sore.
Freitas ALC came from the Maze blade, I think Timo Boll ALC is a bit faster than Freitas which makes sense when you watch Timo and Freitas play as Freitas is superior at far away from table looping rallies and Timo is superior at fast hit off the bounce and also balanced overall at close/mid range looping, they both have similar play style Freitas does slightly slower loop with slightly higher arc than Timo, Timo does variety of sometimes fast sometimes slow loop close/mid range
Yes that is my personal opinion who has used both Timo Boll ALC and Freitas ALC, I used to use TM ALC first while it's overall great for looping, it is still a bit too fast for me that is for my level, the Freitas is slower, easier to control easier to loop continously for longer rally plays. If you're not fast enough and not that good at soft touch or control then better to go with Freitas, it is more forgiving compared to TM if you slightly become a little inconsistent then you'll be punished with the mistake you make.
I love your reviews. I use a Stiga Oversized WRB Allround blade. On my backhand, I have Rasant Grip (1.7mm), and I just changed my forehand rubber to Tenergy 80. I had a sheet of Xiom Omega V on the forehand but the rubber was aging and no longer offered the same pop it did when it was new. I love this blade. Unfortunately, it is no longer made. Would you know of a blade similar to it?
Playing atm the TB Spirit. Love its Responsibility in Every different Move. Compared to the Viscaria and the newer ALC, what are the real differences? Is worth Changing to Another Wood or are they like 98% equal playing? Im playing lower/Medium Level of 1450-1500 TTR, just wondering if I would Notice any difference or could improve with the other Woods?!
Amazing review Dan Congratulations on finally meeting your idol '' Timo boll '' I just wanted to say that please rewiev the DHS ma long 7 blade. It would be really useful and timo boll alc and ma long 7 are both hard to chose from. So please.

7:40 What a crazy touch by timo boll !!
Waiting to see Ma Long on your channel ✌️
That would require government approval :D
ma long doesn't really speak english which might be a big problem
@@gab5012 plot twist dan goes into the vid with ma long speaking perfect and fluent chinese
@@peachcat2812 hahaha yes 👍
@@gab5012 Ma Long is actually pretty good at English
10:50 Thats the only time I've seen Boll do a high toss serve ever.
Fantastic video! I've had a crap week but this made my day. Thanks Timo! I have a ALC and found it a little too fast, but I loved the handle so much that I went out and bought a TB ZLF. I might be ready for the ALC again one day but the handle is fantastic.
Hey zlf more contrôle ??? Thansk
You should do a review comparing all the timo boll blades or comparing all of butterfly's alc blades (viscaria, timo boll, zjk, matsudaira etc.)
“Here with none other than the legend himself, T-mobile” -UA-cam captions 👍🏻
😂
@2:41 Just amazing how fast he can change between backhand and forehand, unbelievable! Impressive!
Love the use of the slow-mo camera so you can see his technique
Super cool getting to hit with such a legendary player! Vielen Dank an Timo, das Sie sich fur diese.
Wow Timo's technique is so good! I could watch his technique all day ❤️
I can't imagine if Dan vs tomokazu . one of the best TTDaily video I had view. Keep it up guys

Thank you Dan this is one blade review of im waiting. Great to see you and Timo Boll.
Awesome Dan.
Im looking forward to trying this blade out... should be here in a couple days, went with 2.1mm Tenergy 05fx on both side for rubber ... great interview.
Jason B let us know how you get on with it :)
Harry Law, I tried it out today, definately has more spin and a little less speed than my Hadraw SR w/ 80fx ... The ALC feels real nice. I am not nearly as good I should be to take advantage of either setup... but the ALC seems like a great setup

My next blade is gonna be the Boll ALC and i'm gonna try to convince my wife to by it for me.
Hahaha that's brilliant!
Hahaha niceeeee

This is my favourite Blade I bought it in butterfly store Berlin and the people we're very nice
I have been using the primorac carbon for 4 or 5 years how would switching to this blade affect me. I have already ordered it so there is no going back.

Haha amazing to hear Tevin ill see what I can do!
This is amazing maybe Ill switch to ALC one day when I feel I need a boost in the speed of my play... But thanks for the reply and MANY THANKS FOR THE VID.
Hi Dan, great to see you playing with a true legend Timo….. Question, where can we get these shoes?
Most table tennis stores should carry them I think.
Super review, Timo is a great player.. But just a little thought, and yes i know hes not playing so much anymore.. But still what about a review with Michael Maze and hes gear sometime..
Thank you for amazing video waiting to see ma long and Zhang jike
Super fun review video!
timo boll.
fantastic player!!
Where is Dan vs. Timo???? I want to see that video so bad!!!
unwishfulthink dan can barely even return a timo serve anyway lolol
That touch by Timo Boll at 3:56
5:23 when your shot is so wild elephant sounds emerges
Timo so humble man...
But he also sounds like a smoker lmao
what??? loll
Boll's touch gives eargasms.
Superb video Dan ✌️
Thanks :)
Hi Dan!! Can you please do a review of the classic blade Stiga clipper plz? Thanks Dan. Great work on your side...Bravo. Greetings from India!!

Awesome video mate well done
Top to top with Boll!! Go on Dan son 👍🏽

Thanks for the review !
Please make a review with the Timo Boll spirit!
was lucky enough to get a used timo alc for 62 dollars, and it's original
Dan: Nice?
Timo: Lucky
Lol😂😂🤣🤣
At 5:00 in the video.
it is the other way around. timo says nice, dan lucky
Timo BOLL, my fav TT LEGEND!
Will you review zhang jike alc with zhang jike and MJ zlc with Mizutani? 😀
Got one couple weeks ago its magic!
My condolensces for having to use that G40 ball. That rubbish is a crime against sport.
Ikr, everything in this video has to be butterfly, the ittf butterfly balls are so much more expensive than the dhs d40+ balls
Absolutely.. one purchase I absolutely regret.. switched to DHS and never looking back
Nitakku balls are the goat tho
Hello Dan, can you please explain to me the difference to Viscaria? 😊 Thank you
What Rubbers would you put on this blade in 2021. Still the Tenergy 05's?
it amazes me, when you look at the top spin top spin part, how much more Timos balls accelerate after the bounce. They are so spinny and fast.
timo: the blade is releasing the ball very quickly.. (2:23)
dan: blade offers incredible dwell time (4:40)
so now telle me how a blade can have both incredible dwell time and release the ball very quickly :D
no hate, but basically almost all reviews are just how the blade or rubber have positie attributes even if they pretty much contradict eachother. They are also never really compared to other products so if they did not tell the name of the product they are reviewing it would be virtually impossible to difference them just from the review.

James Radovich it's already been reviewed by Dan
O' Neil Aakash Biswas Biswas thank you! I will definitely have a look.
Hi, I checked and Dan reviewed the ZJK SZLC, not the ALC. I have the ZLC and it plays very differently than the ALC, they are worlds apart. I hope he does review the ZJK ALC, thanks.

Hey Soper awesome glad you liked the video ill respond on the website shortly :)
Hi Dan, your work and passion is giving us(intermediate players) plethora of information on equipments and styles. A ton of appreciation. Can you help telling me the handle/wing differences between TB ALC and Apolonia ZLC. I love the narrow wings of TB Alc (friend's blade) and want to switch to Apolonia ZLC for its high dwell.

Nice review, may i know what rubber is he using for his backhand and for his forehand?
Tenergy 05
Amazing video Dan! Thanks a lot!!!
from Russia wtih love)_))
This video is amazing thank you!!! Please do a video with Harimoto Tomokazu
I'm sure it's a good blade, but it just seems difficult to justify getting a blade this expensive unless you are a really high level player because you can get perfectly good blades for a third of the prize.
Edit: Well, as you yourself say, not recommended for beginners! A great blade for serious advanced players!

Good review. Thank you. Do you happen to have a Butterfly Amultart Zl Carbon that you can review?
OMG Boll!
I like pavilion as you shoot the fight against someone
Great video and review.
Good match LOL 😂

Impressive Dan! How are you so good, considering you barely play anymore, at least not competitively?

Dan, you play very well !!!!!
Another request - Yasaka Rakza Rubbers
Currently using Stiga Carbo 7.6 WRB thinking of changing to Timo Boll ALC
I love your reviews. I use a Stiga Oversized WRB Allround blade. On my backhand, I have Rasant Grip (1.7mm), and I just changed my forehand rubber to Tenergy 80. I had a sheet of Xiom Omega V on the forehand but the rubber was aging and no longer offered the same pop it did when it was new. I love this blade. Unfortunately, it is no longer made. Would you know of a blade similar to it?
buy some offensive wrb and change rubber for softer ;)
Playing atm the TB Spirit. Love its Responsibility in Every different Move. Compared to the Viscaria and the newer ALC, what are the real differences? Is worth Changing to Another Wood or are they like 98% equal playing? Im playing lower/Medium Level of 1450-1500 TTR, just wondering if I would Notice any difference or could improve with the other Woods?!
This bat looks really good
Please can you do video on backhand/ forehand grips. And how professionals grip the bat
I bought one after watching your review! Thanks!
Please answer my question, which racquet do you like the most and which is the racquet you often use?
Viscaria very good for play 40+ abc-plastic ball.
