Control was superb, even when combined with anti-rubber on the backhand side. Speed was just enough and it also has a big sweet spot (using the Viscaria fish-scale version). Since its stiffness was average, it was very suitable to be used with fast rubber.

Viscaria “M” Version

I acquired this Viscaria “M” version blade through a trade two years ago. I attached a DHS H3 Neo 40Â° rubber to the FH and an Xiom Oza rubber to the BH. This blade offers exceptional control but is not suitable for beginners. With proper technique, I could precisely place the ball during attacks. However, effective topspin strokes required adequate hip rotation to generate power. I recently replaced the Andro Rasanter 48 on the FH, enhancing the blade’s speed while maintaining its impressive control.

Viscaria “O” Version

Recently, I acquired a Viscaria “O” version. Notably softer than its “M” counterpart, the “O” version provides greater control and topspin capabilities. It is an exceptional weapon, originally equipped with Tenergy 05 rubbers on both sides. Currently, I am utilizing T05 hard on both sides, which has proven to be an excellent combination for attacking shots and blocking.
