I have many of them in golden version (FZD personal version) and one in commercial version (silver tag).
This is, in both versions, the best blade I have ever tried, and I tried thousands.
Extremely stable in bloc, very spinny, the shots are fast and direct, and you can place them wherever you want.
Handle feels most comfortable and backhand Forehand transitions are the quickest with this blade (only Boll Spirit can be a rival). In terms of power and speed, I had some Viscaria Gold or player versions that could beat it but this one makes it always on the table.
If you can't buy player version, please choose the commercial blade carefully in shops, I could only take 2 among 50 as you can see the quality is variable. It's even worse for Viscaria.
But overall, it's the best blade ever made for me.

FAQ: Does Megaspin sell Japan-made Butterfly blades?
Some Butterfly blades like Korbel and Grubba are produced in factories both in Europe and in Japan, so they exist in 2 variants. When a Japanese blade has a Europe-made version, we always carry the Japanese variant. Other blades like Butterfly Timo Boll Offensive are only made in China so we cannot carry a Japanese variant of these blades.
FAQ: Do Butterfly blades come pre-sealed?
All Butterfly blades come pre-sealed from the factory. There is no need to add blade sealing but you may if you require additional protection.

Reviews of Butterfly Fan Zhendong ALC - Chinese Penhold (26)
Great customer service, helped find desired weight and condition. Paired with victas v15 sticky on both sides. Love it so far.
A viscaria with a slightly chunkier handle. Works pretty well with Dignics 09C
this blade offers alot of control, handle is good i have the fl one. paired with 2 d09c on both sides its great for looping,
UPDATE : after sometime change to different rubber DHS Hurricane 3 Prov blue sponge, d05 1.9mm, battle 2 provincial and national. I've noticed the backhand side is tend to be very picky for the rubber, its happened when i use d05 and the rubber start to loose its catapult effect. for the forehand this blade was excellent now i used the battle 2 national both side but also noticing different performance of this rubber although its has same type but different color i will write the review as well.

Its a well balanced blade between spin,control and speed, good arc to cover the net. Not to heavy mine came at 91 g. I'm currently playing it with a hurricane 3 neo on the fh and a hurricane 8-80 on the bh it feels controlled but you have to adjust on some shots because it still is a fast blade and it might fly out but if you ask me I would say its still very controllable for its speed. In terms of spin I was always wondering if the blade would affect the spin perfomance but it didn't of course hurricane 3 neo is already pretty spinny but the blade doesn't take away any spin it even helps because of it's good dwell time. I've only been playing with it for a month and I really like it a lot. Good for loopers and fast attackers. To me I don't feel a big difference between a inner alc and a outer alc. Good blade for intermediate and advanced players. No real cons.
