Well they also had another chart where Clipper CR was the fastest blade, and this can't be true. My 87g Viscaria is a lot bouncier and faster than the Clipper CR.
I don’t trust this chart to be honest. I felt that the viscaria is a lot faster than the clipper CR.

"Ep is directly concerned with the rebound speed of blade."
That's what they write in the article about inner fiber blades and this can't be true. The rebound speed of Viscaria is a lot more than the Clipper, even if the Clipper CR I have weighs more!
And that is why I don't trust their review.
That is exactly what I'm also looking for! So this discussion should be quite interestingHi,
I'm looking for a blade with a good flexibility and control but still fast enough. Right now I'm using Viscaria and I feel not enough dwell time because I'm a slow player. I've tried Fang Bo 2. It is good, but it is too head heavy for me and really vibrate a lot in my hand. I don't really like much vibration when choosing blade.
I'd like to train harder but I think it is too much for me because I have no time anymore for intense training. I'm wondering about Butterfly Marcos Freitas or Tiago Apolonia. Do you think both of them slower and controllable than Viscaria ? Or maybe you have something else to consider for me ?
Feel free to answer here. Any suggestions will be appreciated !!
Slower and more controllable than Viscaria but with a similar feeling - Nexy Calix 2.
IF you want to stay Butterfly, Tiago Appolonia is decent but it will have slightly more vibration (as does the Calix 2, but the Calix 2 feels more similar).
Does the Clipper flex?IF ZLC / Apolonia vibrates a lot during soft hits but once you start putting power it feels really stiff to me.
Clipper might be your best bet. I really liked whenever i get to try it. The sweetspot is larger than 5-ply all wood but it still has the all-wood touch albeit being a bit stiffer compared to my virtuoso+
Does the Clipper flex?
To feel some flex on my TB ALC, I have to push really really hard.When pushing, not so much as it's thick and 7-ply.
When looping, probably about similar to TB ALC but the you're getting the all-wood vibration instead of the ALC flex
It's tough to measure elasticity without an instrument. How rebound speed translates into actual ball speed depends upon many, many factors. The measurements can only be used so far. I actually am able to hit a ball faster, for various reasons, with an all wood than a composite, but a composite offers other advantages such as a larger sweet spot.
As for me, I take these measurements in context and as only one data point.
