Would you guys agree that H301 does not have the arylate-carbon layer as close to the outer plies as Viscaria does? This would explain the control factor.
Yesterday I practiced with this blade with t05 and t05fx. It's the best than I've been playing for the past 5 years. Viscaria after h301 seems very hardness. Dwell time longer on h301 than on viscaria. It is very easy to make the first attack. The low throw looks safe and controllable. Nice click when a strong attack.

After playing with the H301 using hurricane 3 neo, I’ve come to the conclusion that the blade is too hard for tacky Chinese rubbers. There is not enough dwell time to engage the sponge completely. The ball either hits the net and if I brush harder it just goes out of the table. I cannot feel the ball as much as I used to compared with my previous blade which was softer. Any advice would be appreciated. I may have to change my technique but it was so much easier with my cheap $20 blade that I had before.

I think this blade is MEANT to be played with hard chinese tacky rubbers but yeah it's not easy, you need strength, rapid acceleration and proper technique and then it's really deadly.
It is somewhat softer than the viscaria, which many players play with chinese rubbers also.

Don't thank me so quickly! Of course it could have been a waste of money, everyone plays different, has different strengths and preferences.
But if you never grow to like it, at least it's not a waste of a lot of money. It's really the best of its type you can get for how little it costs
Some people especially have a liking for the feeling of a hard/soft wood outer ply. Personally I love it but some people never do and prefer limba or ayous.
Good luck mate!
As the H301 is only available with flared handle and as this handle is too flared (too wide at the bottom and too thin in the middle), I decided to remove the handle-cups and add some handle-cups of my Yasaka Dynamix 17. I had two of these blades with different handle-shape - one with a more squarish handle and the other one with roundish handle.
Therefore I glued a squarish handle cup on the forehand side and the roundish cup on the backhand. This combination looks like some Soulspin handles and feels very comfortable in my hand.
and here you can see the complete blade

It plays differently, but I got used to it. Bh side needs adjustment, but overall, suprisingly you'll get a nice firm grip with the flared handle.

I could go for something less extreme too, was it hard to take off an old handle cups? How did you deal with the grooves on the side of the handle?

Yep, thanks for the picture. The original H301 handle, makes you hold the racket more upwords I think, it hinders the mecanics of the stroke a little. At first I thought I will have problems with my grip stability but it was not the case, more is that the racket positions differently in your hand. I'll porobably play for a while with it and see if I make more adjustemnt, if not that I'll choose your path I guess : )

Previously i use SWORD Blue Feather which is a clone of Viscaria. I am cpen player and Butterfly does not produce cpen Viscaria. I bought H301 in September 2018. It is really a good blade as it is more spiny and better control. FH H3Neo and BH CJ8000 (hardness: 38-41). H301 supprise me with the BH which it has highly controlable and spiny BH.
