The one thing I will grant you is that the blades you listed, while they generally appeal to the same players that the Cybershape is designed to appeal to, they all have regular head shape and softer composites than the Cybershape which is pure carbon (though they claim it is a special carbon). Since you have tested them, it is all good. I would personally choose the Viscaria as I prefer its handle to the Boll ALC, and the Boll ALC outer veneers seem a bit more polished, but they are all fine blades. I also like the Innerforce ZLC, I have never quite liked innerforce ALC, I prefer the Innerforce ZLC in my practices. But everyone is different. Other than Harimoto, I don't know anyone who at the top level uses and Innerforce ALC and even in that case, just use the Harimoto. just as Dima uses his own Innerforce ALC.I appreciate your opinion, it was very informative and I caught the idea. Thank you!
Before posting I tried different blades of my tt partners to understand what I prefer more and just to feel the difference. I believe that my progress so far is quite impressive and I understand what I need to do to improve my confidence in the game and skills as well. My choice may look quite impulsive but I've been through pain and blood during my training with Cybershape, self-diguring to understand why my forehand has such a low quality. Now, I have more knowledge about the game and myself as well, I will be responsible for all consequences and If I fail to master my new blade I will switch my setup to one of the suggestions in this thread. Moreover, I will train hard to develop the feeling for my new blade and I really want to, as you said, gain a "mind-body connection" with my new blade.
