to my experience, FZD and Viscaria are same blades except for the thicker handle on FZD.

you could try Xiom Omega VII/VIII Pro, too, it’s a really nice rubber, very forgiving, nice feel, just enough speed and spin. also Rakza 7 … Rakza 7 Hard I am still trying to understand, but so far I like it a lot! (playing with Viscaria and Timo Boll ALC).

Maybe he can try Tenergy 19 or Dignics 80. They are Both good rubbers.

The beauty of ESN rubbers is a wide variation of different hardness for th same rubber. If you like a specific one, just down level or up level hardness. Unfortunately it's not achievable for butterfly's rubbers like D05/D09C/Zyre, you will need to play with boosters to make it softer.
But I was not made for the BF rubbers. I have tried most. Unfortenately the Stiga DNA Hyb doesn't come in other mm alsobI can't see that the H or XH version will be the solution I seek.

Well the FZD and Viscaria differs. FZD you get more power far from the table and it is stiffer with a earlier rebound.

I tested 19 on a balsa Carbon but it is with all Tenergy I can't like the feel of them. If I didn't like D09c G09c or D05 I don't see that I would like D80.

I will test a South Korean blade with Big Dipper 5. Since it is lighter has a even faster rebound and a lighter more neutral rubber I can go a little crazy with it.

My body type was made for South Korean setup but the blade seems similar to a balsa carbon.

Big Dipper is probably not the best but the blade need other type of rubbers to work.

I have tried some Xiom but mostly 2.0 mm. I need to try full on FH.

One day at the time but I am growing tired of the Stiga Hybrid M, atleast for BH but I know I can get a wilder on FH.

But a slightly lighter / faster blade will help me activate and open up to direct and fade more with even sorter strokes when needed.

Thx for suggestions.

D80 is different from D09c and D5 actually. It is easier to use on BH than D09c and D05.
I use Tenergy 19 on my BH now and ı love it. But if you don't love tenergy, it is normal.

every blade differs, even two Viscarias are different. but if you get two blades of same weight and similar balance, it should be pretty similar. FZD and Viscaria are identical in structure. the only difference is the handle, which is bigger on FZD. and that is the only difference. of course, fatter handle contributes to different balance but in wood structure, there is no difference.
