[Concluded] Looking for an ‘all wood alternative’ for Viscaria

And I doubt that this account holder would do it on his own....

I think a guy who revised a post that was 9 months old because he was ashamed of what he wrote 9 months ago can do anything...

Damn, Sherlock, you noticed that?

Well, he was behaving more and more annoyingly, and I thought many times, “Just cool down, man.”

So now he’s off-boarded... peace out

 

[Federal_Agent]

Revoldia or FZD CNF ... that's the key !

Nice conclusion to the story!

True haha!

When I initially setup my new blade I picked G-1 on both sides like I had with my old blade. Because my adjustment period for next season would only be 2 months I didn't want to go full Butterfly yet.

But then last week I couldn't help myself and I ordered D09C and T19. I convinced myself the adjustment period so far with my new blade isn't so bad, so I might as well change the rubbers while Im at it.

I glued them on but I have yet to play with them, so hopefully I don't come to regret this decision since I only have 3 weeks to get somewhat used to it

Looks like someone invoked European privacy laws and got his account deleted or something. A reminder of the diverse personalities that exist on the internet.

I don't think his account is deleted, I can still see all his old posts and activity up to yesterday.
I'm guessing he just deleted some more of his own posts?
Funny to see him still messing with his Viscaria posts, that blade has him in a complete tizzy!

Ah okay. I just noticed that any recent post of his on some topics I was in that got posted was gone. Well, it is allowed I guess. But such behavior doesn't breed trust anywhere.

If only XIOM didn't discontinue all their blades on a yearly basis lol

Just noticed the Hugo HAL is discontinued....it is literally the blade that Hugo is currently using...how does this make any sense?

Well they have a newer blade coming out, but it is yet to be seen if it will in fact have some type of carbon in it. Seems like I good blade, and even I myself was looking at them when I saw it didn’t contain carbon and was being discontinued over the summer.

While it may be similar to a “wood Vis” I don’t think it would suit the OP either since it plays more like a 7-ply without deep hold for spin, but Im just going off ttgearlabs results. Im sure you can get enough spin with any blade depending on your technique.

It just doesn't make sense in any way to discontinue the blade that is actively used by your popular top ranked sponsored player.

Lol I heard it’s pretty typical of Xiom to discontinue equipment for no apparent reason. I think they’re trying to streamline their blades to have some type of TMX in it tho.

I think this is the right choice, because your blade is not really that fast (only 5.5mm thick + no carbon) and you need more aggressive rubbers to compensate the low speed of the blade.

Hello everyone, here is the list of 5-ply all-wood blades that are closest to the Viscaria in terms of its composition (Koto/ALC/Limba/Kiri)

The Butterfly Clarty is nothing more and nothing less than a Viscaria without ALC fiber

Cool table, thank you! As far as I understand, this is just a part of a larger table. Do you have a link to this full table with data on the composition of the blades, of course, if this is not a commercial secret?

Butterfly uses koto, koto, kiri, koto, koto for the Falcima. Result is that it plays a bit like a balsa blade when using high input power. More speed than my YEO with similar weight and thickness but less spin.


The Hadraw 5 uses ayous for its core so should be more stable than the Falcima.

Viscaria does not use limba. It always has been koto, ALC, ayous, kiri, ayous, ALC, koto.

Maybe he is using the SAL?

 

[ThePongCommenter]

Realistically he is using a customized blade that is very different from market version anything lol. But I am not sure at all and am just referencing XIOM marketing.
