Doesn’t look like a Viscaria old tag to me - insert looks more like DHS, and there’s no circular insert on BH like on an old tag Visc. Wood ply colour also looks non viscaria like. Not sure but I’d guess a DHS custom of some sort?

Almost never seen a second hand Golden Vis - but as said elsewhere you can get them new for under $600 if you know who etc.

I don't have a prov version but a commercial and a national - the difference is there for sure in terms of quality and balance and also the blade feel. The national feels slightly softer and more controlled but more powerful when engaged. I am not sure it is worth the premium but as with most...

He's 100% correct that a similar weight FZD or Viscaria does not play anything like a Golden Vis.

A while back I ordered a Japanese national T05 from ProTT. It was without doubt better than any other standard sheet I have played. Tough to know why but probably did feel a little harder and easier to control with more top end speed. Looked identical except for different plain white packaging.

Ovtcharov is stiff and hard with more speed and less feel. Frans feels softer, more woody and much easier to control.

WMY blade (I had two) is nothing at all like the golden Vis. Much faster and crisper with less feel and not as well balanced.

It’s remarkable just how different the golden vis feels from any of the other outer Butterfly blades. Much wider range of gears - probably still too fast for me if I’m honest. My Franziska or Q968 are safer for me in match play, with steadier rubbers like Bluegrip.

Very exciting and can’t wait to hear your thoughts as you get to know it

Hi all - just to let you know that Andrea has resolved this issue for me. I have been informed that Sanwei will cover the international shipping for a return and I will only pay postage to a UK address. I am very happy with that - thanks @Andrea Jiang

Thanks very much.

Fireflash in 44

I just sent them another note with the picture attached and pointing out the sizing discrepancy. I am hoping that @Andrea Jiang sees this as she is actively promoting their products on here.

Wow - very interesting spot. So a 44, which I always assume is a UK 9 or 9.5, is in fact a 10 in Sanwei world. That does explain why I have to size down 1. How did you resolve, if you did? Thank you.

Hi all I wanted to let anybody considering ordering shoes or clothes from Sanwei of my recent experience. I also wanted to see what @Andrea Jiang had to say on the matter. Following the recent thread on great shoes and the recommendations, I ordered a pair from the Sanwei site - my normal...

Got a nearly new S968 - if you are interested send me a PM

There's a few on Ebay right now if you look.

Wow, I do hope you like it - look forward to the update!

I have Golden Vis and use it as my main blade - it is nothing like the SIP in my opinion. The SIP is, if anything, slightly more direct and crisper than Viscaria whereas Golden Vis Is softer and easier to control and has more power. I didnt find the SIP to be better than Butterfly outer blades...
