Thinking of changing my blade and rubbers.

Are you a full-time professional player? I roughly know a couple of semi-pros, who reckon Viscaria lacks a bit of explosiveness (thus prefer Mizutani ZLC), but these are the exceptions.
Viscaria is a very fast blade, and imo it's overall faster than Long 5x.

Nope. Not at all. I play for fun. Also, yes its an original.
Viscaria is plenty fast. It does, like you say lack explosive power.
I’m just looking for something different rn. Something fast with a low throw or something with more spin that only activates speed when you hit through?
I had fortino pro or carbonado 190 as my other options
And for inner carbon the hl5x(or better if you can recommend one)

Pretty sure any SALC blade from Butterfly fits the "fast with a low throw" goal, but you said you won't be able to afford that.
I am surprised you purchased Viscaria in the first place, as it's not much cheaper than SALC

I got it years ago as a birthday gift from my parents. My former coach recommended it for me.
Im currently looking into inner alc blades. I believe they would be perfect for what I want.

I am thinking of changing from my Viscaria to a hurricane long 5x. On backhand, I want to go for a D05 or 09c, which one should I get?
Also, my forehand is a Hurricane 3 Neo National Blue sponge. This one I will stick to the H5X.
Which one do you think I should use on the backhand side?
Also open to seeing blade alternatives to H5x. Need a bit more speed than Viscaria gives me.

D05 & D09C are very different rubbers, D05 is grippy & D09C is sticky, D05 faster than D09C, D09C is faster than H3Neo National BS but the H3 boosted have more elastic topsheet so feels better when doing topspin and also I feel better the H3 boosted to serves both combine well with fiber blades.

I dont like boosting my rubbers. I do want a D09c on my backhand though. Im thinking of going with Sanwei target national on my fh in the furture

I also don't like boosting rubbers because performance isn't consistent, I used only for comparison so you have a better idea about the differences.

Especially after the 4 days camp I got a new view regarding equipmemt choice and that is that not only your current technique matters but more importantly how hard you hit the balls and by that I dont mean smashes. It literally depends on your body composition.

one example: Someone taller buffer needs less speed from the racket while a smaller slimmer player needs that extra speed from that racket.

So for a shorter player it also depends if they are young or old and what type of stroke wins them the most points.

I could go on and go on. But this is why a hard rubber like d09c works for a taller player (he has the acceleration and power built into his body) while it wouldnt for the opposite type player (they would struggle a lot to activate it)
