Pretty good blade but I felt Viscaria and its brothers are sharper and more direct. My D715 develops arc better than Viscaria though and it has a bit more support than the Pro01 I tried even though the Pro01 had clearer feedback. My D715 has good support and arc protection but the hand feeling...

Looks like a fake Amultart, your best bet might be just to give it away. R-serial (2017) ZJKZLC and P-serial (2015) Garaydia T5000 both in decent condition, I would not accept lower than USD150 for either blade. Max value depends on the buyer of course, but ZJK series has just been discontinued...

Pips tend to be light and I'm used to 190g+ double inverted setups, I highly prefer all my sp bh setups to have as heavy a blade as I can find. I think it'd be worth a try but maybe go for the 91-93g range before trying to seek out a 94g+ blade

They don't make commercial grade H3 with #22 sponge

Gambler Outlaw, if you know you know

Regular Hurricane has the #20 orange sponge, the blue sponge is coded #22. I think blue sponge reacts better to boost, and orange sponge is easier to use with no boost. If you're coming from ESN50 I'd suggest starting with DHS38, I think it is a bit closer to ESN50 than the DHS39

Fine pore sponge, pretty dense like D09C. I think D09C has a harder feeling but they have different topsheet structures so hard to say. I felt Nuzn55 was more forgiving in open play and had better feeling allaround, even though D09C is stickier, it felt like D09C resisted the ball more, it was...

Never tried the Superselect versions, I've heard they lean more towards the Euro side of the hybrid tree though

Codexx 52 is very similar to PK50, and Codexx 54 is just a harder version of 52, might be worth a try

You try Gewo Codexx 54?

A lot of custom pro blades are like their respective market versions but with thicker core so I don't think thick core inner structure blades are as uncommon as you might suspect, and both Truls and Lind are using koto inner blades so it can't be said that no players prefer it. That being said...

You say "or similar" but aren't those blades the ones you're asking about in the first place? Pros use what is comfortable /and/ effective/competitive, thats why you don't see attackers using blades like P Korbel anymore, Viscaria/W968 are just that good

Xiom Aria (6.4mm thickness) but I don't know if it is easy to find anymore

I would recommend Xiom Solo (slightly harder, thinner Clipper) the ST handle is a little thin but it is reasonably wide, very comfy IMO.

What handle shape and blade head sizing are you after, if you have a preference?

Like with any equipment change, you will have to get used to it. Only boost if you are chasing offensive potential from your rubber or if you want more potential available at lower effort. I will say that there is definitely an adjustment period switching from unboosted to boosted, it is like...

They still make these? I haven't seen one in ages

New rubbers, same blade, change one thing at a time.

Only real ones remember when the meta setup was Bryce on a Schlager Carbon 😎 Nowadays kids are obsessed with Super fiber this and Spring Sponge that... Still can't hold a candle to the legendary Schildkröt 900

How big a step away from Mark V do you want to take? For a more conservative upgrade I'd suggest the Nittaku Factive, for a more aggressive option I'd recommend Nittaku Fastarc G1 (or C1 if you want a medium hardness rubber over medium hard)
