Nara (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A grip that's easy to swing on the backhand

Normally I use the Jun Mizutani blade a lot among outer-carbon blades, but I found this one has quite a hard time with control even for an outer blade. As a piece of wood it should be the same as the Timo Boll ALC and Timo Boll Spirit, but oddly enough it was harder to control.
I was using Tenergy 05 on the forehand, and when driving, the combination of Tenergy's characteristic auto-spin plus this blade produced quite some shot power, but long misses stood out a lot.
The backhand, though, was quite good — maybe thanks to the grip shape, the swing-through was easy and it felt noticeably more stable than the forehand.
Overall, I felt this blade suits players who rely heavily on backhand-based techniques, which is the current trend.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Take (Experience: ４〜５ years) The best racket even for chopping

I switched from an all-out topspin attacker to a chopper and set myself up with this equipment. On the forehand I use the Viscaria with a tacky tension rubber for drives, and of course it's excellent for that. For chopping, the ball leaves the rubber fast, so it's less affected by incoming spin and the chop doesn't float up. Since the ball comes off fast and the chop feels like it stabs down, the difference between a knuckle (no-spin) chop and a heavily cut chop really stands out. My forehand push flies further than I expect if I'm not careful. On the backhand, the Curl P4 anti-spin sponge absorbs the opponent's power, which keeps things stable. Backhand chops are easy to vary, and if you focus on swinging from high to low they get really heavy spin. Backhand pushes come in sharp and cut, so I don't think they get smashed easily. If you're an aggressive chopper who wants to add variation, I think the Viscaria is a solid choice even for chopping.

I was finally able to buy this blade.
At first I thought it would be hard to put spin on the ball, but once I actually hit with it, it was completely different.
On the forehand I can put spin on the ball while still hitting with speed, and it shows its power even away from the table in topspin rallies.
The backhand is the easiest of all to hit with, chiquitas and short-game technique come very naturally.When I put Hurricane on the forehand, forehand counters became really easy, and both speed-oriented and spin-oriented drives came easily too.
On the backhand I'm using Dignics 09C, the backhand blocks and long backhand drives with this are addictive.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I started playing table tennis back in kindergarten, and I started using the Viscaria about 4 years after that.
Back then I suddenly jumped to a much better blade, and it took time to get used to it, but as I did, I feel like the quality of all my techniques went up a lot. By the way, I've stuck with Tenergy 05 Hard and Tenergy 05 as my rubbers the whole time. The Viscaria and Tenergy match really well together, so I highly recommend it. (Before switching to the Viscaria, I was using the Timo Boll Spirit.)Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

Even after all these years, the Viscaria is still one of the best race-worthy setups out there. But now, with new-generation hybrid rubbers like Donic Bluestar A1/A2, Joola Tronix ZGR, Xiom Omega VII Tour, and Tibhar Hybrid K3, the Viscaria comes back like a king reborn. It matches these new rubbers extremely well and unleashes extraordinary power.

If you want to play counters, this blade is the best choice. It's pretty hard to handle, but if you want to master the counter, I'd recommend this blade. Even though it's ALC, the ball flies in a really flat line. It feels like it doesn't produce much arc. But once you master it, I think it's incredibly strong in topspin rallies.

I've been using the Viscaria for about 5 years now
(I haven't touched the SUPER everyone's talking about, I've stuck with the original the whole time)
The rubbers I've tried so far:
On the forehand, Hurricane NEO3 blue spongeThis one's pretty much fixed, I went through a phase with 09C and 05 HARD, but I ended up back on Hurricane in the end!
I've changed the backhand rubber a lot, started with Rozena, then went through Omega 7 Joola, Tenergy 05, Dig 05, 80,
but now I finally committed to 09C and it's the best!!!Blade performance
The short game is great, really easy to play.
But if you're moving over from inner blades or all-wood, this outer blade flies quite a bit, so at first you might struggle with control! Once you get used to that, it's the best blade there is.Conclusion
With a rubber setup like mine, if your impact isn't strong enough the ball goes dead, so if you're starting with Hurricane I'd recommend lowering the hardness, or otherwise easing in with something soft. After that, moving on to a harder rubber is a good idea.
My personal recommendations are
(Tenergy 05, or these days Glayzer 09C, Rozena, G1, Rakza Z)!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
