  6. Recommendations for softer OFF blades vs. Viscaria

    A cheap experiment/option I have a Viscaria and a Timo Boll Spirit, both shod with T05 on both sides. From reports, these blades are basically of the same build. However, my TBS is far softer than the Viscaria. There are two reasons for this; the TBS was treated with linseed oil and the rubbers...

  13. More power needed in my forehand
