Unless you are using multiple blades, you often use a blade for as long as you can. This is just a matter of someone using the blade he likes. I think we amateurs sometimes over think this stuff.I hope this is not too much off-topic.
How come all the younger Chinese players are still using the older Viscaria handle and not the current one.
Hasn't it been a few years since the new Viscaria handle has been introduced? Does anybody know?
Do the CNT have a large storage of older Viscarias? Or are they really still using the same blade for quite some time?
I know a coach who thinks that the newer Viscarias are faster but I also know a Viscaria expert (given his history with the blade this is not hyperbole) who likes the new ones and finds them decent ( he found some in the middle years not to his liking).
I also think the plastic ball has made carbon blades fans harder outer plies far more playable. I wouldn't be surprised if limba outer plies and all wood blades slowly went into obscurity at the pro level with the new plastic balls. This was happening with the 40 cell but I think it will happen even faster with the 40+ plastic.
