zhou qihao was probably using a viscaria himself.
but had a contract with joola so they create the viscaria clone for him.
what don't you like about the real viscaria? it's like the gold standard.

I live in Finland, and couple of weeks ago I ordered the ALX 36.5 from Japan for 80 euro, Yasaka Falck Carbon 85 euro and some Mizuno shoes for 100 euro less/pair compared to prices here in Europe - deal of the century. Higly recormmended seller! https://tt-japan.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_6&products_id=5261
I also have the regular Yinhe Pro-01, but haven't used it yet. Some say it's similar to Viscaria and dirt cheap too. I probably payed about 40 euros for it from Aliexpress. Unfortunately, I think it only comes in FL or penhold handle and I have come to prefer ST handles more and more, so been looking to buy the premium Pro-01X that's available in ST configuration. Someone on this forum wrote that the Pro-01X is very much like Viscaria, but even higher in quality. A bit expensive though at ~150 euros. https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/yinhe-pro-01x

I love it but it is not the same blade, my vis is around 1430 HZ, ZQH around 1520-1550 HZ, and reportedly not the same trajectory neither the same crispiness. Here is the Gan’s video about the blade, it seems different enough to give it a try for 90 euros :

You're right! I just realized that. I'll probably order the V-14, Pro-01X and Donic Skachkov Carbon. As I said, I already got the regular Yinhe Pro-01 and V-14 with FL handle. Bought them almost a year ago, but because of this thread I'll glue some rubber on and finally try them out next week. My regular blade right now is Xiom ALX 36.5.

Skachkov and the (supposedly) identical Baum Esprit have a larger head size than all the other blades mentioned (160 mm x 152 mm). My Esprit is even after sanding/filing it down to a normal head size a lot less crispy than e.g. a V14Pro or Viscaria.

I play with Joola ZQH 90. Before this, I played with Yinhe D715 for about 6 months. I also have a Viscaria. All three are similar weights. I went from Viscaria to other blades because I don't like how Butterfly's carbon feels. Its too glass-like for me. In my circle, Timo ALC is more popular and that is borderline unplayable for me in terms of feeling.
D715 is slower and softer than Viscaria. Joola ZQH is mildly faster, but the feeling in both is excellent. I initially was suprised with how good 715 feels. The carbon kicks in hard shots and short pushes are surprisingly easy. It doesn't feel like glass at all even on full power shots. BH is less crisp than Vis and ZQH but feel is great.
ZQH is not like Super Vis at all. There is no comparison in my opnion. Super Vis feels like you are playing with a piece of glass. My ZQH feels a bit softer than my Vis on low power shots. It is a blade that feels the best on full power shots though. It almost begs you to hit hard. The amount of power shots you land is also unexpectedly high with ZQH. It is a little better in short game than Vis as well while simultaneously being faster than Vis and has a better feel.
On all counts, in my opinion, ZQH 90 is a superior blade to Vis and 715. But 715 is half the price and hence, a great deal.

Today I was so close to break my Butterfly boycott (main reason is their no discount policy), when there was a slight sale on Fan Zhendong ALC, but ultimately the boycott continues since the ST handle was out of stock in their EU web store. Anyway, intsead I ordered those two models from HW Sport store @ Aliexpress Black Friday sale, for about 100 euros each. Let's see if they live up to your hyping!
Woops, also got the recently realesed Sanwei Froster Pro! https://sanweisport.com/en/product/blade/expert-carbon/froster-pro/Another worthy alternative could be the KTS Problade KC Fury: https://ttmount.com/product/kts-problade-fury-kc/75
Probably top notch quality and looks nice too!
