Blade description:

The Butterfly Viscaria Light is a meticulously crafted table tennis blade that combines modern technology with traditional craftsmanship, making it an exceptional choice for players who value both speed and control. This blade features a unique composition of five plies, including inner layers of carbon and arylate, and outer plies made of koto wood. This blend not only enhances its durability but also provides a lightweight feel, allowing for a more dynamic playing style.

Weighing in at approximately 82 grams, the Viscaria Light is considered a lightweight blade, which aids in maneuverability and quick reactions during fast-paced matches. Its thickness and structure contribute to its medium stiffness, rated at 6.2, providing players with a good balance between speed and control. The blade’s hardness rating of 5.8 offers a soft touch on the ball, making it particularly effective for spin-heavy strokes while still delivering impressive power on drives.

Flexibility is a standout feature of the Viscaria Light, giving it a lively reception and dwell time that many players appreciate, especially those who favor looping and spin strategies. For those seeking alternatives, players often consider blades such as the TSP Black Blizzard or Dawei Wavestone, though they generally favor the Viscaria Light for its superior speed and control characteristics when paired with suitable rubbers. Overall, the Butterfly Viscaria Light is highly recommended for intermediate and advanced players looking to enhance their offensive play while maintaining excellent precision and feel.

This blade is an excellent option. Compared to the classic Viscaria, it is slightly lighter and slower, but with better control. It is recommended for use with hard or medium rubbers, as its flexibility and control allow for easy spin (though not as much as the Innerforce Layer ALC).

I use it with BTY Spin Art on the forehand and Tenergy 25 on the backhand. Highly recommended.

This blade offers better control than the original Viscaria. It also provides good speed, excellent spin on drives, and a comfortable handle.

Adjustments

* “have a good control” --> “offers better control” * “good drive spin” --> “excellent spin on drives” * “handle comfortable” --> “comfortable handle”
