Вот еще отзыв про ALC где про soft very soft feel говорится.

I bought one with a straight handle, from Iruiru, it arrived one week after ordering with no problems at all. I paid $104 which included the shipping. I am happy with their service and will do business with them again.
The straight handle is almost square in cross section, not ovoid as with some others. I am not very experienced with straight handles, but this one seemed a bit unusual in its "squareness". The workmanship on the handle is ok, perhaps not as exquisite as with some other Butterfly blades I have seen (based on some very slight imperfection where the name plate is placed in the handle -- or maybe I am not a big fan of the blue inlay design). I put new sheets of Donic JO Gold on the forehand and Butterfly Raystorm (spinny short pips) because this is what I have been playing with for the last couple of years on my two Butterfly Viscarias.
At a point last year there was a rumor that Timo Boll was actually playing with a custom Viscaria blade that had a TBS handle on it. My experience today with the TB-ALC makes that seem quite plausible. The fact is, except for the shape of the handle, the TB-ALC was almost indistinguishable from my two Viscarias. It may have been ever so slightly slower, but to be honest I really couldn't tell for sure. The weight is almost the same, my TB-ALC is about 88g, my two Viscarias are 90g and 91g. That could account for the difference in speed (if there really is one). Today, in my hands, the difference in the way the TB-ALC played from my main Viscaria is not appreciably greater than my two Viscarias are from each other. This probably makes the new TB-ALC slightly faster than a TBS (I say probably because I did not have one in hand to compare directly) and it is very noticeably faster than a Maze, perhaps just a tad harder in feel than a KLS. All of these blades have an excellent soft feel that many people will like. The TB-ALC (and the Viscaria and the KLS) are great for looping, has an excellent touch on blocking Probably this is the fastest carbon-arylate blade you can buy at present. It has a soft feel, very soft, no vibrations to speak of, but the blade is still fairly stiff. When I look at the side of the blade and compare it to the Viscaria, I can not see any visible difference. (I didn't have a TBS available today to compare it to).
A couple of other points -- the Viscaria was made mostly in flare handles, I have never seen one with a straight handle, although Speaquinox tells me that at least a few were made. The Timo Boll blades have always come with straight and flared handles, as do the current series. Again, I should note that the straight handle on this one is a bit unusual in its squareness. (One of my main motivations for trying this is I wanted to see if I might play different with a straight handle -- more on that later). Also, I notice that on the Butterfly USA website that they no longer list the Viscaria, leading me to suspect that they may have discontinued making them (although for the time being they can be obtained from a lot of other places for about $135 US). If that is the case, and you want one, and can't find one, do not panic, just buy a TB-ALC from Iruiru for less than that. You will not notice anything much different. Or you can be raped and pillaged by Butterfly USA who ask for $165.
