Hi,

So I am looking to satisfy my EJ needs with a real golden viscaria and a real w958 no.1-2 . I am looking for real sources to buy these blades.

There's also some thailand seller who clearly is selling alot of custom modified w968 and golden viscarias that are clearly not genuine.
I have been a Prott customer but lately I have doubt their items are the best, it looks like whatever does not pass quality control will be sold by prott.

I bought a asymmetrical FZD ALC from prott, top ply on FH was visibly much thicker than top ply on BH , clearly a quality control issue
Also the digital w968 I bought felt similar to a long 5 with bigger head. no major difference.

W968, is supposed to be build with wood from very old trees, making much stronger, faster, crysp.

So any suggestion where a European can buy these blades?

Thank you,

Commercial and provincial w968 does not have even closer feeling to W968. It’s like a completely different blade. If you take Q968 then it’s closer and does not make lots of sense to get national version - at least this is my experience

Have not tested S968 vs commercial but I saw very poor quality of commercial blade.

For #1 and #2 you have to find a local guy in China and prepare 1000$

For golden Viscaria is the same

Not sure what you mean with commercial w968 ,

There's Long 5 , Provincial Long 5 , National Long 5 (w968 number 11-32) , and player versions long 5 w968 or single digit numbers .

I owned Long 5 , WCQ Long 5 , SYS long 5 , and Natinal long 5 no 32.

You will never be able to prove any of it, because what you are trying to buy is stuff that is not meant to be commercially available.

Nobody can prove that Golden Vis isn't just a swapped tag. And w968 is simply meant for the pro players. Whatever you can buy is just not going to be the good ones, because those get selected by the pros. Which means the available ones are pretty much always going to be B grade, and that's considering the nice route. The worse route is fakes, sure, but also selling items that didn't pass quality testing.

It's like buying F1 car parts. You're not gonna get the ones they use, because they use those.

I'm aware, thats why I am asking if I can somehow procure from a safer place.
