Butterfly Viscaria Light
Blade description:
The Viscaria Light is a composite blade featuring a 5+2 construction, utilizing inner carbon layers combined with Koto outer plies. Designed primarily for offensive play, it offers a balance of speed and stability, making it particularly effective for drive-spin and looping maneuvers near the table. While marketed as a lightweight option, users report that it maintains a substantial feel in the hand, contributing to its reliability and precision during rallies.
Playing Characteristics
- Feel and Dwell Time: The combination of Koto wood and inner carbon provides a distinct, soft feel at impact. This structure allows for sufficient dwell time, enabling players to generate significant spin while maintaining a clear sense of feedback from the ball.
- Stiffness and Control: Despite the inclusion of carbon, the blade is characterized by its controllable nature. It provides a more stable and predictable performance than the original Viscaria, offering greater confidence during stroke execution.
- Compatibility: The blade is highly compatible with a wide range of rubbers, performing particularly well when paired with medium or hard sponges. This pairing complements the blade’s stiffness and helps maintain consistent performance during high-intensity shots.

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.
