Can you recommend blades that are stiffer than the Viscaria?

Hi folks, I'm currently using a Viscaria ALC with D05 on fh and D64 on bh.

Even though I like the Viscaria a lot I'm looking for blades that are stiffer.
I really love punch blocking and stiifer blades help me by giving an extra kick to the ball.
These are the blades I'm considering:
- Stiga Wavy Cybershape (love the cybershape + stiff)
- Viscaria Super ALC (no-brainer stiffer Viscaria)

Any other recommendations?

Hugo HAL is stiffer, it doesn't contain ALC though, feels a bit different. Very good and rel. stiff blade.

If you want stiff and soft, there is also Vodak King. There is a TTD thread about, you can lookup and check...

EDIT: Generally thicker blades are stiffer. E.g. often balsa blades are quite stiff, and due to balsa they feel very hollow. It can actually be very well used for punch blocking, but not optimal for looping. Good luck...

I know people say Viscaria Super ALC is stiffer than the Viscaria but in my experience, it is far from being that simple. Even the Butterfly specification chart supports my position. It's really not a blade for punching, but I guess the ads and tests are up to you to review and you can always test.

Donic original true carbon is stiffer

I really thought the VSALC was a stiffer Viscaria, especially because Adriana Diaz used this blade a lot for punch blocking. I guess I'll have to test it first!

Hugo HAL is definitely a very interesting blade but I was thinking it was softer/slower than the Viscaria. A lot of people say that this is a carbon blade with a woody feel. If this blade is indeed stiffer than the Viscaria, it would be a no-brainer for my game!

I would personally pick the Cybershape Clipper over the Wavy, Clipper is similarly stiff to Wavy but Clipper is soft where Wavy is hard, and I feel Clipper is more stable and more predictable than Wavy without giving up the direct/stiff nature of thicker style blades. Wavy does perform more similar to outer fiber blades though even though I think Wavy does not have the distinct feeling of outer fiber blades
