Then as a DVD bonus... a blooper scene where both Mobs jump off Brooklyn Bridge together at once in slow motion in extreme joy looking at each other like it is a bliss and dance and smile as they fall towards the water...

It was a little tricky to get the release for the footage. But they let me post these stills from the shoot.

Hi Everyone,
This is a short review of the INNERFORCE LAYER ZLF.

SF is pretty spot on with his review. There's nothing that can overtake the feel of wood blades. I'm a 5ply kinda guy. I've tried the ZLCs, ZLFs, ALCs, & whatever technology is known to TT. When the game is on the line, PPH would pick a good ole wood blade any day of the week.
Welcome back to the TT world, SF! Tennis season is over! =P

I think I heard that SmashFan is calling for a Goon Squad Riot with people flying from all points on the world map to join in the trouble-making hijinks.

Hello everyone.

I know that my question y not about the topic, but...

I would like to know what is the real weight oh the butterfly Viscaria Last generation?

I have a Timo Boll Spirit and I Want to tried the viscaria, they are similar? what are the differences?

Thank You for your time.

When picking mine viscaria few months ago weight range was 86-89 grams. 99% of the difference with TBS is handle and blade face shape.

It is pretty hard for a whole production run of blades to be that close to the same weight. Since wood is living, the range should be bigger.

I have seen Viscaria 78 grams and I have seen 98 grams. Most of them are not as heavy as 98 or as light as 78. And the weight range of any particular production run would be a little less dramatic than that 20 gram differential. But blades of the same size and wood can vary in weight fairly significantly.

If you wanted a blade of a specific weight, the real thing to do is to ask the seller. For most of the blades I have bought new, I have simply called the seller and asked if they had the kind of blade I was looking for in the specific weight I wanted.

Thank You a lot for the info.

Smash_fan, would you consider applying a finish to your Hinoki blade's handle to keep the humidity out? I don't mean a standard blade sealer, as their feel can be an acquired taste on handles. I mean something that preserves the look and feel but keeps the water out. (E.g. those hydrophobic nano coat finishes seem like they might do the trick. I haven't yet tried it on a TT handle, but I will in the near future.)

Not for sub-1700 USTTA rated players IMO, as the gear that kicks in from zylon fiber does so earlier than expected (i.e. during return of serve or on a push).

Does it mean that you have to play in leagues to have a chance to handle this blade? Can you give a more detailed
description as to what 1700 means in terms of a player's level, please? I'm not familiar with the ranking.
It has 2 outer limbas and not even a carbon layers, yet is for people who play in competition. So does it mean that people who use a carbon blade but don't play in competition are over-equipped?

This thread is old. I doubt Smash_Fan has been on TTDaily or MyTT in a few years.

But he was talking about playing level rather than whether you have played in leagues or tournaments. I am pretty sure of that. He is basically saying the blade is for someone whose technique and skill levels are decently high.

Thanks.

yes, that's an old post, but missed that player ratings table somehow.
I am somewhere around 2000, but never considered myself as an expert player though

for sure

Well, it is OK in my book to put jumper cables on this thread, hope Smashfan reads the email notification, and he is back in TT... worth the effort involved for that.
