Fish scales Viscaras is claimed to be of better quality, if this is true or not I can't say.

Are you referring to the 3-dimensional parttern (effect) from the grain of the Koto top ply?

This is a fish scale Viscaria, http://ttnpp.com/store/home/818-butterfly-viscaria--7.html

Okay. Yeah, that is what I was calling the 3-Dimensional effect of the grain in the Koto ply. My TB ZLF has that and the top ply feels good. My OSP V'King has a Koto top ply that has much less of the 3-D effect, or fish scales as you are calling it, but the top ply on that blade plays equally well. Not so sure it matters in terms of how the blade plays. But it sure does look cool. [emoji2]

So this photo shows a Viscaria with that and another without as much of it. Yes?

Your comments mean fish scale s pattern is better than normal wood?
Right?

My comment meant that I have a blade with a Koto top ply that has it and plays well and another with a Koto top ply that doesn't have it and it also plays well. So I don't think it makes a difference as far as the performance of the wood. But it looks good with the 3-D effect.

This thread reminds me SO MUCH of the "Fish Heads" vid from the late 70s...Song starts 2/3 the way in, but it is a classic.

The "fish scale" phenomenon occurs when you make plywood of quartersawn wood. Whether it is better than the other types I do not think one could feel the difference.

POUND like button on Giangt's post. Mandatory.

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

Yep. I thought I had written something like that when I hit like. But that is a great post. I now understand a lot more about how they cut trees to make different versions of plywood. Thanks Giang.

They need to promote the "fish scales" as being magically created and scientifically proven to raise TT looping spirits from the dead and imbue the ball with special resonances. Then make it a custom centennial Viscaria type with typical Butterfly inflated pricing.

Quartersawn wood just sounds lame as a cause...

there is a little difference, the surface is more sensitive, feel like is your hand, the glue doesn´t became a problem to take out (but that depends of the glue), but the most difference is the spin! this viscaria is very spinny! i saw in other trade that chinesse players prefers this type of scale (i don´t know if the extra spin is the reason, but who knows ,i think is a lot of another factors what make the difference for just believe if the scale affects they playgame), so just enjoy and prepare for the tournaments!

sorry i forgot! this is the new one i try with other one ¨fish scale too¨

Nice!

I like those new ones with the green hologram. In the right weight they often play as nice as some of the really good black tag ones. And I think 90 g is the perfect weight for a Viscaria.

I don't think it's anything special, since the cheapest blade I own has the fish scales. While it does play nicely, I have another of same model which doesn't and cannot distinguish between them.

Some people think the fish scale look on a koto surface plays better. My favorite Viscaria has that look, but I'm not convinced it guarantees much. To me weight is more important. The one I like best has a slightly unusual weight distribution for a Viscaria, with more weight in the handle.

The one Juan Manuel has looks beautiful to me though!

hi, what about ovtcharov's true carbon fish scale?

 

[Baal]

Yep. That DTC has it.

Where can we buy this Viscaria with the green hologram? Please let me know.
