Suggestions for Viscaria replacement

[iammaru]

I've used my Viscaria for a few years and I want to try a new blade. I'm looking for a similar (a little different is ok) blade with slightly smaller FL handle, slightly lower throw and especially larger sweet spot, maybe from Stiga.

I don't know if such blade exists? Can you give me some suggestions?
Thanks!

When you say similar to Viscaria do you mean 5+2ALC?

Sounds like Timo Boll ALC to me.

Xiom Vega Tour will do.

 

[RajaLoopah]

My blade will do, I was a Viscaria user before

I think my blade wins, though I am not sure about Stiga part or the handle part. But lower throw and larger sweet spot for sure.

I know I am old, it was morning, and I wasn't wearing glasses, but at first glance title of thread appeared to be Viagra Replacement.

I would say go old school fresh greens and raw garlic... but in this case Wood.

However, if the world isn't enough, your the beckons...

I mean the stiffness, thickness, weight and overall feeling. Can be a little different but not too far.

I was very pleased with my Viscaria before the switch to 40+ ball, but with 40+ ball, my consistency went down significantly and I think it's time to try something new.
Thanks everyone for suggestions. I still would love to hear more opinions.

I just swiched from Maze to Carbonado 190 and loving it. Maybe 145 would be closer to Viscaria. I haven’t try it myself tough.

Check, check and check: the Tibhar Drinkhall Powerspin Carbon checks all 3 of your requirements. It is designed as a Viscaria clone but is faster and also spinnier (because it is flexier due to different 2nd wood layer).

Interesting. What frequency do you get when you measure ?

LOL, if you are not familiar with what you are taking about then it might sound odd when reading this comment. This made me laugh.

I was typing in a rush from my cell phone and I was trying to make it as short as possible - LOL.

I use a Viscaria and spent a few weeks trying a True Carbon. Smaller handle, slightly faster, otherwise hard for me to tell the difference. The feel is so close to identical that if you're looking for something a little different you might be disappointed. On the other hand, it's a great blade and I'm thinking of switching for the little bit of extra speed.

Try to find one of the super light Viscarias they were making a few yers back.

I was going to purchase the OTC until I read it was a smaller handle. Can you describe in which ways it is smaller? Thanks!

 

[yogi_bear]

how bout another butterfly blade? The Innerforce Layer ALC was awesome when I tried it. Has high throw with H3 neo and a tad faster than Viscaria but the feel is different and feels better than viscaria.

The OTC handle (24 x 33 mm) is slightly thinner with less flare at the base than the Viscaria (25 x 34). I doubt the small size difference would be an issue for most people.
