Recommendations for softer OFF blades vs. Viscaria

[UpSideDownCarl]

That's interesting

I tried with TBS and Viscaria and I felt that viscaria has more of a soak-in soft feeling whereas TBS felt slightly more flexy. everyone has different feeling on their hands so not easy to judge from just one's view..

Well, another thing that is going on with what you are actually talking about is that every blade is different. So if you tried and Viscaria and a TBS and someone else tried a different Viscaria and TBS, the blades may be different.

If you tried 10 Viscaria's, they would all be a little different from each other. Same with the TBSs.

But if Tinykin is saying that he treated a TBS with linseed oil and it plays softer than it used to before the linseed oil treatment, then that is different than what you are talking about.

Budgetwise, Andro Rasant Grip is a great alternative for T05s but not as durable(dies quicker)
Maze is pretty rare but you can make a LF post for the blade and you can negotiate with the seller at http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=16

If you are into softer feel rubbers, 05FX is a good option as well. too much feel would be an overkill but never hurts to get additional control.

I always end up coming back to 05FX for that extra ease of producing spin and more control despite the price.

I havent tried any tibhar rubbers apart from mx-p but I heard FX-p and EL-s are the soft ones.

For bh flicks, Rasant Grip from Andro is the best one ive tried. not so sensitive to spin, cool green sponge and grippy topsheet. only if it didnt die so quickly..(lasted me a year or two but it depends how much you use it)

Thanks again Denny!

I use to play with T05's but switched to MX-P which I find to have more control and gears, and yet to be faster and spinier than Ternergys. They seem to last just as long too and it's half the price (even more if you buy them on TT11). If you like FX, you'd probably enjoy Evolution EL-S or EL-P which I use to play with on my BH, or the even softer FX-S or FX-P. Tibhar lists their sponge hardness on their website if you ever want to test one of them.

Any with limba/ayous/ayous/ayous structure,

I would recommend Clipper CR, TSP Swat Power or DHS PG7 (for cheap).

Good luck

...or Tibhar Stratus Powerwood, or Xiom Solo 7 as the best of clippers.

But I miss what is the common between Viscaria and Clippers.
