Butterfly Viscaria Light

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.
