Butterfly Viscaria

I think that Viscaria Super ALC is even faster.

Been using this blade for just over a month now. I really enjoy playing with it and can't really fault it in that respect, but after the first time I tried to change my rubbers, a strip of the blade splintered. Whether this is to do with my gluing or just the durability - I am not 100% sure. I haven't had this issue with any other blade. Other than that, faultless blade with great balance of speed and control with a comfortable grip and nice weight

The Butterfly Viscaria is a very good blade. It is not too fast or too hard, it has a good control and it's very durable. For some people it is a bit expensive but it is worth the money.

I've used two blades 82 and 83 gr. Viscaria apart from DHS Hurricane Long 3 and 5, Stiga Rosewood NTC VII and currently Stiga Clipper Wood WRB. If this blade would have larger sweet spot and a lot more feeling when hitting the ball, than this blade was born for me. I think for the people who are training a lot, who has stable shots, throw angles should use this blade. There is a reason why top Chinese players love this blade.

If you are still improving, wooden blade may sharpen your skills with the help of feeling.

83 g:
This blade is less stiff than other carbon blades, and more control. On the other hand, it is also slower. Mine is much faster than others, and I don't like that. The handle is wider than most, and you need to sand it or else your fingers will get blisters.

I say this is like a fast allwood. The carbon gives it power while the arylate gives it control. Again, I like other people's better because they are slower. There is much less feeling than in an allwood.

Forehand off the table with this is easy. It'll help you pick up a half long serve or kill-loop a ball inches from the floor that you misanticipated. I find that if I miss a ball, I only put too much effort into it.

My backhand technique is fairly awful. I make only 65% of my BH loops against underspin and I can't really blame that on the blade or rubber.

The problem comes over the table. It is harder to flip. It is harder to push short. A different blade would help you bring the ball over the net. This has been the biggest downfall of the blade.

Blocking is consistent and excellent. The blade is consistent everywhere on it.
