Hi, Fan Zhendong has ALC and ZLC blades. My question is what is the difference between ALC and ZLC in table tennis blades?

ZLC is more bouncy and faster than ALC blades.

Unfortunately, Butterfly have no clear guidance on the difference between ALC and ZLC. The table tennis community favors ZLC over ALC on speed and ALC over ZLC on control.

ZLC are30-50% more expensive than ALC.

For example, Harimoto Innerforce ZLC price is  around $230 while the  Innerforce ALC is around $157

In terms of composition, they have the same layer of wood but in the carbon-layer,  its either ALC or ZLC
