Super viscaria

[pedro.dantas]

I've noticed that your current blade is Xiom TMXi which is the same I play with.

All I can tell you is that I tried Super Viscaria for 1 session with T05 on the FH and Dignics 05 on the BH and hated it.
Didn't like anything about it. I much prefer TMXi in all aspects.

I really liked the classic Viscaria however. I played with it for a short period but eventually I came back to the "safety" of my TMXi.

Do you use the TMXi pro or non-pro version?

Funny how impressions can diverge from one player to the other (and from one blade sample to the other?)...

Coming from Acoustic FL SG, I bought a Viscaria SALC like 6 months ago and love pretty much everything about it. Head-heavy for sure and mine weights 88g, so to keep in mind when pairing with heavy Chinese rubbers. But for me the ratio speed / sensation is amazing. Provides a lot of feedback (for an outer ALC blade mind you, ofc it's much more muted than my Acoustic), huge sweet spot, elastic and dynamic (more than a Timo Ball ALC) and absolutely outstanding for active blocking. Handle is very comfortable and premium but a bit on the narrow side, I've been told that FZD SALC has a slightly bigger handle. As for the throw angle, I did not find it particularly high and from my experience the throw angle is far more influenced by your rubbers than your blade.

Used to pair it with 2 Fastarc G1 Max but that was a bit fast for me as an intermediate player. Now playing Vega Korea Max FH and Acuda S2 Max BH, very happy with my setup. Fast but very controllable, both in loops and flat hits.

BTW per your question about Tenergy 05 in BH, a player in my club (like 2000 TTCAN ranking) plays with SALC and T05 on both sides. I played a bit with his setup and T05 felt great in BH and FH.

Can someone compare Viscaria SALC with Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC?
Can't decide between these 2.
I've tested Viscaria SALC with Dignis 64/80 and was a bit too fast but I liked the speed and confidence feeling that gave me. Can't find Ovtcharov for testing though.
