Its a little pingy and metallic because it is an outer with thin surface plies but its not numb like ALC blades. The feeling is pretty good for a fiber blade

I tried a clubmates Miyabi Jpen and the wood quality looked horrible. Felt stiff and solid but lacked the softness and sensitivity of my single ply Jpen blades (Tmax and Vmax). I have an old Musashi (bought circa 2015) that has good feeling but is a bit slow, 10mm is really where its at

Have you tried the Destiny Carbon by chance? I felt it was a very predictable blade with outer fiber behavior, like a tempered Dynasty. Slower than Viscaria type blades imo but not by too much, it might be a good option if you like the Master flared style

75USD? Tenergy costs $80 domestically in the US

Looks like limba to me

They do look nearly identical in terms of composition. But I'm guessing that the ARYX has to be tweaked a bit to differentiate it from the HAL otherwise folks would just buy the HAL. Heres a very rough side by side I mocked up using google image photos: Depending on the total thickness of...

I saw this post most recently: Not on his personal account so it may be inaccurate but it seems like a chopper would want to use tacky rubbers on a stiffer blade with the 40+ ball

I don't think Aida uses R7, pretty sure he uses some Yasaka Dragon rubber (Shining or Rising Dragon 2?) on bh and Rakza Z Extrahard fh

Thats something only you can determine, after trying it. Both are good rubbers and many players use them on Viscaria. You can speculate all you want and receive all the feedback in the world but until you actually try it you will never know for sure. The good thing about going for D05 in your...

What happened to using the D05 on the bh? You were using it on your last setup so I think its a good idea to continue using it on your new one

They are both Euro hybrids but at quite different ends of the spectrum. C2 is much harder than RZ, RZ is much stickier than C2. RZ has better feeling of dwell and arc generation but it lacks the penetrating quality C2 offers on hard shots. Whereas C2 is more direct, faster and meatier, but not...

Its definitely fast but I wouldn't necessarily say its that bouncy, more like the trajectory is just long. For ex I felt rubbers like K3 and DragonPower 5.25 were more bouncy/slingy than Dynamic. To me, long trajectory rubbers that feel bouncy are like Tenergy, DNA Platinum- Dynamic is harder...

The Donic setup will probably be more technically demanding. Baracuda is heavier than Rozena and the Waldner Gold edition has a slightly oversized head, so the weight and balance is likely noticeably further towards the tip than the other two rackets. Baracuda also has improved grip and spin...

Depends on who is more consistent. Blockers tend to have to vary placement and tempo (and can often utilize knuckle ball to greater effect from blocking) a lot more because in general they do not use as much speed so it can be annoying. But faster shots are always more threatening than slower...

TBS was the first Viscaria iteration, designed with a slimmer handle for Timo because the first gen Viscaria straight handle was fairly bulky. As with all Viscaria-likes, structurally they are all virtually identical, with most differences coming from manufacturing tolerances and the differences...

Perhaps these matches of sp fh players would be helpful:

Any comparison to conventional outer blades like Viscaria? Stigas graph rates it on speed scale under Aura and Cybershape Carbon which are both inner, but above Carbonado 45 and Destiny

Novelty and trends J suppose. A lot of bh dominant players like using outer and a lot of forehand dominant players like using inner. IIRC before Jorgic (idk if he actually does use his namesake assymetrical blade?) the last really good player to use an asymmetrical composition was Kong Linghui...

Hard for me to say. My clubmate had different rubbers (faster) on his Krypto Carbon than I am using on my FZDALC. It didn't feel as fast or as direct as my FZDSALC though

Definitely larger. Although both Viscaria and FZD have bigger handles than Boll ALC. I've hit with a clubmates Krypto Carbon for a bit and it felt more similar to FZD handle size
