Hello, IM on my second set of rubbers on the blade, when I first bought it i had tenergy 05Fx on the forehand and yazaka rakza 7 soft on the backhand, i changed it and used the rakza soft on the forehand but I did a bad job on the re gluing that I damage the rubber, so i change to my current rubbers, nittaku fast arc c-1 on the forehand and tenergy 64 backhand, I will change to tenergy 05 and tenergy 64. but I also plan to get another viscaria as backup so i can try other rubbers, I love the blade. when IM playing my best im around 1500 usatt rating...

Hi, thank you for the detail review! Im currently choosing between Viscaria and Stiga Emerald vps v ~~ very undecided. Any comment on these two blades? I like the natural woody feeling, it has good direct feeling of the ball ,but looks like the viscaria is also pretty good and could be faster and easier to loop? I am a two side looper, usually short pushes on serves return, then attacking on the 3rd or 4th balls, then go into mid distance looping on rallies~~ please give some recommendations! Thank you!

@quickzilver333 7 жыл бұрын

The problem that I have with Viscaria is that it has so many weight variations. I had two Viscarias 84 grams and 90 grams. So it is very hard to find an exact back up blade even when I ask the seller/vendor to weigh the blade before sending it to me they still sent me the wrong weight blade. The weight difference varies between 80 grams- 95 grams. The one on the video is the Newest version of the Viscaria.

@shpingalet7895 7 жыл бұрын

Liam has an excellent technique! Ideal timing! No wonder he needs such a stiff blade like this :) Dan, big thanks for explaining the blade's composition and for making comparisons with other blades like Boll ALC and Apolonia. Those are the most interesting parts for me. Really helpful. Please consider reviewing Boll ZLC and Freitas ALC blades. Your reviews are so interesting to watch, like some sort of TV series :) Too bad it's not weekly but it would be great if it was at least monthly ;) As always, great job! Buy the way where's Tom?

Hello, and why did Viscaria review with Liam Pitchford and not with Zhang Jike?

@stevenvanzoelen 7 жыл бұрын

Butterfly TB ZLC (for me)is a better frame. I played both. More control and better topspin from my point of view. I also like the vibration after blocking with the TB ZLC. I played one year with Viscaria and Tenergy 05 (max). The first day I used TB ZLC I was in for a surprise. Weeks later I switched. My style is to attack. Nonetheless I don't recommend fast frames and fast rubbers to average players. Start with wooden (5ply) frames from Stiga and good rubbers like sriver or yasaka V. Control is the key to success. I play table-tennis for more then 40 years. Good luck! Steve.

@fortitude1208 7 ай бұрын

Yes.. without a very very good techink i think its usless.. better take some wooden blade like stiga or peter corble, feel free to take a stroke, feel the game, enjoy.. im returnd after 7,8 years to tt and i decide i will not buy Viscaria becouse i cant train hard as i train earlier.. good attacking game need 5 times a week training. And i already have hard time with a lot slower carbon blade and spiny rubber dignics 05 max.. im geting frustratee, dont feel comofrtable to play.. i will buy maybe some wooden blade .. i lowe all round, control attack and block.. cheers

@ttjesus4959 3 жыл бұрын

They're similar blades. Same sort of construction. However, the OTC is faster than Viscaria and has a straight throw angle. Viscaria has a higher throw angle. Both blades are honestly only meant for high level players. But, I suppose it's good for the market for all the amateurs to buy the popular pro stuff, even though they'd be way better off with something much slower
