Is it the same Viscaria ZJK is using over the years

Musaab · May 21, 2016

Hello folks,
I'm just wondering is it the same blade over the years the olympic champion is using or he might changed it every couple years ? I saw an old video of him using it thats why I was wondering. The second reason is to be able to estimate the life time of my ZJK ALC blade.
Thanks

In one of Dan's podcasts, Marcos Freitas recently said that he was using his Butterfly Michael Maze blades (think he said he had two, main and backup) since he was 18 or 19 years old when he bought them. So that would be about 10 years. Decent amount of time for the investment.

Some pros do change rackets a lot more than that. But, you don't need to. Unless you damage or break it, a blade can last for decades.

No need to worry about your blade's life time, consumerism will make sure you'll get other blades in no time. [emoji41]

My favorite ones among several Viscaria that I have are a series H are series I, which would be from 2007 and 2008 I think. As best as I can tell, these ALC blades actually seem to get better over time.

That's impressive! Must be hard for him to do a change mentally if the blade would break.

I think he also said, on a recent visit to the Butterfly plant, he had them fix up and sort of refurbish his blades for him.

As for the OP, I think it would be pretty hard to tell if ZJK is using the same blade or a new one of the same type since you would have to be very close up to see any difference.
