Butterfly Gionis Carbon OFF vs Butterfly Viscaria ALC

[junc]

Hi guys,

My current setup (only relevant things) is BT Innerforce ALC with Young Shine Dingtian Blue Sponge 40deg on the forehand (unboosted).

For those who do not know what this rubber is, it is a Chinese style rubber MASSIVELY inspired by the China national rubbers "DHS H3 Blue National" which were finetuned to the player's liking. Now as these personal FH rubbers cannot be obtained, former China National Team Coach: Guo Yan designed Young Shine Dingtian Blue which is meant to give the public a similar rubber to the national H3's used by the national team. You can read more about this at: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/young-shine-rubber.24053/

Now I see many players pairing this rubber with a viscaria blade but I do not own one lmao. However, I do own a Butterfly Gionis Carbon OFF blade. The composition is the same as Viscaria, 5+2 carbon layers one layer beneath the outer layer. Of course the difference is one being arylate carbon the other is just normal carbon.

Has anybody tried these two blades and would be able to tell me anything about how they play and what their differences are? Please also tell me your setup as well thank you.

I have not played with either blade, But based on Viscaria being Arylate & Gionis Off being all caron, I would guess Viscaria is for all round offensive looping style whereas Gionis Carbon is more for flat hitting style

This blade Gionis Off is not even listed on Butterfly blade matrix below

But if you look at the above chart, all blades with just carbon have both high vibration & high recation meaning fast & stiff suitable for pips out flat hitting style. But if the carbon layer is too soft & thin and other layers are spinny & not Sardius type, then the blade may be all round type on offensive style also good for loop style, I don't know

Interestingly Boll Tri Carbon is also not listed in the above Butterfly matrix (may be because it is too old ?)

Yep thanks mate but I have already made my decision im sticking to innerforce alc anyway. Gionis carbon prolly isnt on that blade matrix cus its now discontinued and its old. took you a while tho fella.
