Best Handle and Shape but MK Carbon too fast 😞 Help

[Equaaz]

Hello,

I'm reaching out for your help today because I've found the blade with the best comfort, balance, and shape for my hand and morphology type.

However, its construction makes it too fast and hard for my developing game : It's the Tibhar MK Carbon FL, special made in japan clone of the Viscaria, identical in both handle shape and construction.

My question is: do you know of any blades with an IDENTICAL handle, a similar balance, and the same shape of 157mm x 150mm, but with a 5 or 7-ply Limba allwood construction, approximately 6mm thick and 85g? Yes, that's precise! 😁

Thanks in advance.

Isn't there an MK Carbon Inner?

No, that would have been too simple 😁

Is the handle different from the Viscarias?

Oh ! Nice this blade can be the perfection. It's not currently available in Europe, but I'll check.

One of the custom blade makers, such as @SDC will be able to make you exactly what you want

Seconding: Xiom Hugo HAL, extremely similar and not so fast, still highly controllable.

Oh ! Nice this blade can be the perfection. I work indirectly with Tibhar and I wasn't aware of this product. It's not currently available in Europe, but I'll check with the source.

The handle is slimmer, I watched several video from kenta himself, the handle is definetely smaller.
You could find it on TTjapan.net.

Stiga Clipper with Master handle, not Legend, it's head heavy with 1mm more 158/150
Korbel SK 7 157/150

For the 5 plies allwood: Falcima of course, as it's made for developping players, the handle is really thin
Maze Advance FL, to stay in that thin BTY range of handle, both shaped exactly the same as the MK carbon 157/150.

Edit: I forgot the most obvious one: Butterfly Apolonia inner ZLC, at one point nearly all the womens in the french team played with it, Pavade used it, as Pauline Chasselin too, Jianan Yuan had a TB Spirit then a Viscaria. Thin handle as you want, that's why the girls love it.

Bear in mind Kenta Matsudaira was a Butterfly sponsored athlete in his ITTF pro career

If it's a Viscaria clone then I have to ask why not try the Viscaria?

I am pretty sure this is a thing (I did some research into 7 ply blades before and it popped up). Not sure if the handle is the same as the carbon one though.

Tibhar is better imo. Ball stay longer, weight around 85g everytime. I tryed both

Yes, same handle but he have a huge thickness

If you like it a d you get them free. Can you look for one with a low weight and a lower frequency? Maybe play it with slightly muted rubbers?

 

[NetProphet]

Sponsoring and because the Tibhar is better imo. Ball stay longer, weight around 85g and... Because it's better when it's free 😉

I understand none of this answer.
What do you mean when you write 'sponsoring'?
How is the Tibhar better if it doesn't work for your game because it's too fast.
Weight around 85g, what do you mean? They don't make Viscaria in an 85g weight?
And what do you mean better when it's free? Are you expecting someone to give you a free blade here?

I received the Blade for free, and I was able to compare it with a Viscaria. It was my dream blade, but after several months of testing, I unfortunately find it too stiff and hard for my current game. So I'm looking for a softer and slower alternative.
When you buy a Viscaria, I've seen them weighing anywhere from 75g to 95g; the manufacturing consistency is very inconsistent, which isn't the case with the MK, where all the examples I've seen were around 85g, so the advertised weight is more accurate.
And finally, I was simply saying that when you want something and it's given to you, it's more accessible and has a certain sentimental value.

There is also a 5-ply all wood MK ALL, might be worth further inspection.
