I like the Sword hd5. Same construction, has that trampoline feel that the real one has, except it is more handle balanced, so the amplication of power isn't as pronounce.
How'd you find the presto's spin? I remember I had trouble lifting backspin with it, especially by brush looping. It was fine for SP style flat hitting.
Sounds like you prefer the outer carbon stuff.
going to viscaria is a big change IMO.
Maybe you can have a look at some limba outer layer ALC blades to start. DHS has a whole heap if you are used to their feel and their narrow handles...If you're unsure you can even try the budget version...
That series is meant to feel more grabby (higher dwell) and less crisp than earlier batches. It was butterfly's way of making the Vis feel more like an inner composition.
Funnily enough the ML5X has gone the opposite and it feels crisper. Eventually they'll meet in the middle 🤣
To each their...
Jupiter 3 is good
reactor is rubbish
Rxton 5 is ok.
How cheap are you looking? H3 commercial is cheap.
Jupiter 2 is less than hathanhe price.
mercury 2 is even cheaper.
Which version did you get? I think there are three: black, red, and blue packaging. And (from what I can tell) the difference is sponge hardness and not pip geometry but I could be wrong.
