Handle balanced as in weight distribution in FZD? In that case and in my opinion, I believe so. Handle comfort I like the Viscaria better as I have medium/small hands. I think those with bigger hands may like the FZD more

I had the AZXi regular and pro version lol. The regular AZXi was really head heavy with Xiom C55 max rubbers both sides and also with D09c both sides. I tried the TMXi pro from a friend of mine and that was so good but too heavy for my liking. AZXi pro also was so heavy even with tenergy rubbers...

Been on a rampage and bought 3 Butterfly ALC blades this summer 😅 After 2 years of trying different blades from Andro, Xiom and DHS- I’ve come back to my first love- the Viscaria… which led me to FZD and ZJK ALC lol Bought the FZD bc I noticed the weight is so well balanced between the head...

If anyone is interested, I have the AZXi Pro FL handle 91.5g for sale with the box included. Bought a bunch of these from Japan as I anticipated it will sell out here in the states. Barely used (tested it 3 times) and glued it twice to test some pairs of rubbers. Lmk if anyone needs pictures or...

I don’t think it’s been mentioned before but the FZD seems to be more balanced between the handle and head compared to the Viscaria. My friends FZD weighed 192 grams (blade: 88 grams, rubbers: Hurricane BS & Xiom Vega China) whereas my Viscaria weighed 189 grams (blade: 87 grams, rubbers: D09c...

Ah i see! Not sure what the difference between the 2 cleaners but I highly recommend the spin refresh kit. I always let the cleaner dry on the rubber. I used to dry it off using those fabric sponges with from tibhar but I found using the pink and black sponge from the spin refresh does a way...

I can send you a detailed DM of the steps I take but briefly put: I use butterfly’s spin refresh kit with the pink sponge and use the thin plastic sticky sheet it comes with in the package. My assumption for it getting stickier is in combination of the maintenance and the cooler temperature from...

Ahh I needed to hear this. I think my mind subconsciously was asking for validation to get a reason to change the rubbers as it was getting tackier. Thank you!

That’s interested because now I’m thinking if it’s going to the net bc of the sponge or if it’s bc of the top sheet getting tackier lol

Been playing about 15 hours a week with these. Well noted and no offense taken! I guess I’ll keep these on until the tackiness goes away which I doubt it will for another 3-4 months lol

I have a tournament I’m preparing to play in about 5 weeks from now and wondering what the signs are to put new rubbers on. I keep my Dignics 09C very tacky and it just keeps getting tackier with proper maintenance. These have been used for about 6 months now. My question is- can anyone tell...

I agree 100% on this. I had the JMZLC with Dignics 09c and Dignics 80 and both sides felt hollow, mute and no feeling. What I did realize is another club member had it with the tenergy 05 and it was much better. I regret selling the racket without giving it a try with other softer rubbers..

Oh wow, that is some great advice! Will do this next time when I get those DHS sponges. Btw, always wondered what does flat black rectangle hard sponges that comes with it also?

I love the sponges that comes with the DHS no. 15 (500ml) bottle but I ran out and bought blocks of these sponges that aren’t cut the same size so I can save money. I tried using an exacto knife to cut it the same size and even used scissors but I can’t get seem to get a clean cut rectangle. Are...

i think the 09C actually gets tackier as it breaks in. Just have to clean it (I use butterfly’s spin refresh) after every use and put a sticky protective sheet over it.

You’re weighing those blades with protective sheets adding about 3-5 grams each side

Glad there’s at least some consensus that there is a difference between the viscaria and fzd alc blades to justify myself to purchasing the fzd lol 😂 some points in difference im reading is that the handles are different and the fzd is softer, less crisp feeling and better control. Next on my...

When they say it only last 2-3 months, I assume this is because they don’t consistently clean the 09c and use protective sheets. I have a pair of 09c that I put on 6 months ago and it is still very much tacky. I have another 09c (red) on a blade I sold to a friend 1.5 years ago and it is still...
