Harimoto alc vs viscaria vs ovcharov alc?

[John_]

So I have been playing with viscaria for some time, my coach has been using the ovcharov alc and a friend wants to try the harimoto alc. How does the harimoto compare to the other 2? Weight distribution and speed?

From what I've seen with the viscaria and the ovcharov alc, I think the ovcharov is stiffer and has higher top end speed, while the viscaria has a more positive feel and more consistent performance across the board. Is the harimoto somewhere in between, or is it completely different?

Thanks!

I think your analysis of Visc and Ovt is fair - Ovt is certainly noticeably stiffer than Visc but also a bit slower close to the table (and overall to me too) less reactive and sharp and less dynamic. Harimoto is slower and softer than both and the bigger head size makes it feel quite different too (head heavy) Hope this is of some help.

Oh, then it's closer to normal innerforce layer alc?

Harimoto - I found them very close indeed ( I have had a few IF ALC and one Harimoto) Just the head size and balance I didn't like as much as the std IF.

Alright, thanks for the input.
