Amazing Alc Blade

The Amazing Alc Blade offers a superb combination of speed and control, making it a standout choice for table tennis players. Its exceptional performance is complemented by an affordable price point, ensuring great value for players of all levels.

This is an amazing blade. I put a boosted Kokutaku rubber on the forehand and Baracuda on the backhand, and it rocks!

However, the quality of the blade is average. The neck is a bit bigger and needs to be sanded, and the face is a bit smaller compared to Butterfly blades.

It’s a bit stiff. It has speed and Koto as an outer ply. I would recommend using European or Japanese rubbers with this blade. This blade has a very comfortable grip. The handle does not give any vibration when hitting the ball. The player experiences good speed and precision with every hit. The angle throw is not high. Overall, it is a very good blade with an ideal price.
