Butterfly dominates. Does butterfly dominate blades on the world scene like they do with rubbers?
On topic-i am surprised the tinge T8 made the list. My experience with that blade was less than impressive. If course w Chinese qc, my one blade may have been a junker. |

Those top ten lists seem like "10 things that I actually tried" because they're pretty random. I do appreciate that they include Chinese stuff.

Butterfly sells 4 times as many blades as Stiga a year.
What do you think? |

If there is a great ALC blade, I've yet to find one. All of the ones I've tried out, including my own rather flimsey, Donic True Carbon, lack character and robustness. Rather toyish in nature. However it could very well be that the top l0 simply overlap with the bottom 10. 😃
Just a different point if view. |

A large number of top professional players including a grand slam winner -- and also this lowly moderator -- beg to differ. |

There is a reason you are not a great player you know while great players use ALC blades or have them named after them. |

No way top players are using the junk that is being sold through retailers, especially online retailers. I'm not that naive. My advice is to ignore these marketing videos and if someone has a good blade of any type, hold onto it and take care of it because it will be very difficult and expensive to replace.

For those that don't want to waste 10 minutes of their time, here is the list
As someone noted, this is a pretty weird list, that includes some not so well received blades.

Having used the true carbon and a lot of these ALC blades, I suspect the real problem is user limitations. But I won't dwell on it. Trolling needs to be ignored. |

TBS and TB ALC are so different, how can they be ranked this close?

Point of view based on not having played with your own OTC, right? Actually testing equipment is overrated anyway. |

I've played with several that I rejected outright. This particular Donic blade got a really positive review from TT11's reviewer so I went with it. 😃 I've been playing for decades, and I know crap blades when I see one. My guess is that there is a HUGE difference between reviewed blades and pro blades and the ones that are released through retail channels. But this technique is not limited to table tennis. I recently went through the same experience buying audio equipment. Great reviews for what amounts to commerical junk. I really regret letting go of my terrific BIC speakers of ole. Now that brick and mortar retail shops have been pushed out of business, online shopping is the only way to go and it is risky and expensive especially since manufacturers know how to manipulate the market. I apologize for disrupting the purpose of this marketing video. 😃 Edited by richrf - 12/11/2017 at 9:17am |

This is as bizarre a post as I have seen in a long time. It sounds trollish or sock puppet like. Online stores for table tennis have allowed table tennis players access to quality products that was unattainable for almost everyone in this board. The brick and mortar stores have and continue to sell the least quality crap. How many table tennis products do you buy in stores now??? Edited by vanjr - 12/11/2017 at 9:43am |

I've literally thrown out 90% or more of the stuff I've purchased online. I've kept a sheet of Calibra and Phenix. By far the best equipment I've ever had were the blades and rubbers purchased for me by my coaches in Chicago via their channels. (They were US rated 2500+ and 2700+). For the most part online purchases are an expensive gamble which can probably best be described as unwilling EJing. Unfortunately, I no longer have no access to reliable channels so I threw away $160 and will continue to play with my 8 year old setup because I can find no better. No big deal.My old Calibra plays like a Mark V which is good enough. After all it is the practice that counts not the equipment. Edited by richrf - 12/11/2017 at 10:23am |

I suspect this is an old list and I haven't played with all of them. I have to say that for some reason I never liked the Blue Dragon ALC, I thought its weight balance was weird and I very much prefer the newer ZJK-ALC. Also it is odd that the Maze or its successor is not on the list. Not everyone will like ALC blades. But a lot of people do. And there are blades with quite similar materials, like Stradivarius and the Donic True Carbon. The only way to know if you like a blade is to play with it. I play with a Viscaria and have since 2006 or 2007 (I used a Keyshot and a TBS before that). I have had a chance to compare my favorite one to a blade that of a former US National champion received from Btfly when this player was at his peak. His was very good but I have several that are just as good and my favorite two are better. To me weight is a key factor but there is something in the best of them that only arises from random chance I think. |

It's funny that you are commenting about the "robustness" and "character" of a blade that you never actually hit with. You say in this thread you have tried your True Carbon but on your for sale post you advertise it as never used so you should probably account for that discrepancy. If you are so wise to "know a crap blade when you see one" then why all the equipment question threads? And if you're defining "top player" as 2500+, yes, most of them do get their blades from the same sources as online retailers.
I would be curious to know the details of a player who can't even see a world where ALC is a viable choice for many.
