Best Viscaria higher quality alternative

[Reicrem]

Hello everyone, my main blade is a viscaria (i also use time to time andro VCI OFF, which i enjoy a lot but prefere 150x157 blades), and I am looking for an alternative to viscaria with high quality of manufacturing,
I am looking for an ALC outer/viscaria like type of blade, a tad more control can be good. I heard good things about the korean factory that make both Joola Vyzaryz Freeze HRD and Andro VCO off, (and my VCI, that is outstanding in term of build quality and ball quality.)

Could one of you have an opinion on both the Joola Vyzaryz Freeze HRD or the Andro VCO off ? Any other ideas ? Thanks !!!

Now the Double fish Project Z, also South Korean.
Stiga Inspira plus, but that is 158x152mm I thinky still super high quality and best handle for bigger hands.
Donic Zhang Jike blade maybe, I see a few pretty good Chinese buy that.

But most Chinese still just use Viscaria, or w968.
For me the Inspira plus is the best I used from the Vis structure but could be because of the larger head size and more comfy handle.

xiom 36.5 alx.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Viscaria Golden yet 😂 On a more serious note, it checks all the boxes OP wants. Better quality than the normal Viscaria and has better control for sure.

xiom 36.5 alx.

Xiom 36.5 alx has better control or better speed than Viscaria.

Inspira plus - handle is that concave/flared or straight?

Andro VCO off

This, in my opinion, has everything you´re looking for.
Viscaria-type outer carbon construction, head size of 157 x 150, and as you know excellent quality.
At the same weight, I found the VCO to be a little less stiff than the Viscaria, so it made me feel the ball better. But it is always such a personal thing...

The Korean factory produces many of the XIOM blades as well, so probably those recommendations are also for you.

Tibhar MK Carbon for the viscaria, Joola Zhou Qihao 90 for the super viscaria

Its available in FL and St, I like the FL a lot. ST I never held.

OK thank you - personally flared is too small for my hands. The bat gets locked into my grip and I loose a lot of flexibility unfortunately!

Donic Zhang Jike Original, 729 NB49, DHS Hurricane Long 5A (different fiber), FZD ALC (slightly different handle).
Slower with more control: Depends on current blade's weight. Maybe a slightly less heavy Viscaria is enough.
But before I would pay that much for an ordinary off-the-shelf blade with quite some variation between blades/production runs I would either go:
- semi/full custom from Korea: Nexy https://www.nexy.com/eng_doc/ket_frature.php
or
- full custom from Portugal: @SDC https://www.sdcttblades.com/

On budget and still high quality Yinhe V14Pro or Pro 01. Wings need a bit sanding but Butterfly blades need that too (for me at least).

I have never personally owned a Viscaria, but Joola ZQH 90 is an excellent blade indeed. Great manufacturing quality, very crisp feeling, but also has really nice touch and is surprisingly good at generating spin given how fast it can be. My coach (a top young player in my country himself) uses Viscaria, and recently borrowed my spare ZQH 90 which has a couple of beat-up, worn-out H3s for multi-ball feeding. He was super impressed by it, so much so that he said it feels better than his own Viscaria.

Better control and softer feeling.

...an alternative to viscaria with high quality of manufacturing,

Butterfly makes the Freitas ALC, which is like a Viscaria with limba instead of koto top ply. A bit slower, more control.

If you can get it from taobao yinhe d715 should be a great choice, gan reviewed this blade and said he loves the blade and the price is 60-70 dollars without shipping, I think it should be the best alternative considering the price.
