HI all
I wanted to share some thoughts and gather any other views on these two blades, from those that may have played with both.
I currently play with the Viscaria as my main blade and like it very much but have also been toying with the Harimoto, which in theory might suit my level better.
My observations around what I have experience are;
Viscaria - harder outer ply, ALC nearer surface of blade so a crisper and more linear feel - I also expected it to feel faster but not sure it really does.
Harimoto - softer outer ply giving more dwell and control. Inner ALC offering more soft touch in short game and higher speed only when engaged.
I like the handle and feel of both blades equally - both very comfortable, although the balance feels different with the Harimoto feeling slightly head heavier to me.
I am interested in others experience of the speed and feel of these two - in theory I would have thought the Harimoto was the easier to play with and more suited to an intermediate player than the Viscaria, but in reality I am not sure this is the case for me as the linearity and crispness of the Viscaria feel a little more controlled.
Let me know your thoughts and experiences.
