Here is a short video, I answered your equipment question:
EmRatThich, March 2020.
Dear Mr. EmRatThich
I am currently playing the Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC.
My question is whether the Viscaria has faster and more control than the Zhang Jike, although supposedly both have the same structure? Or is a heavy Viscari just faster with 93 grams? What is the best weight for a table tennis blade?
Sincerely
Volker Klaczynski
PS; Is there an alternative to these two woods because the prices are quit
Zhang Jike ALZ is a little bit faster. Viscaria is well known for the (smaller head size), easier flick, easier backhand on-the-table attack. ZJK ALC is stronger at the mid distance. For the weight of the blade, it should be around 85g – 92g. (Please search “heavy blade vs light blade pingsunday”.
Dear Mr. EmRatThich! I actually like all your articles mentioning about table tennis. I am wondering now about what is the difference between Viscaria normal version with Viscaria Gold Edition (except for the price issue). I am now using a Lin Gaoyuang blade that is said that it has the same composition of Viscaria. What is your opinion about this problem? I am looking forward to receiving your answer. Thank you so much!
The Gold version is just a commercial thing. Don’t buy it if you are not a guy who love collection. Viscaria is already made by the highest quality wood. I prefer the old version of Viscaria blade.
Hello Coach, before I used stiga clipper cr wrb blade, this blade give me great feeling. After I read your article i want to improve my back hand, I swap to viscaria blade then my backhand really improve, thanks your artilce but my style is looping machine so should I swap to hurricane long 5 or 3 because I I still want good feeling ( some review said long 3 give more feeling than long 5 ). You have just talk to me on facebook now you really like sanwei product, can you share your experience.
Thanks
Dear Mr EmRatThicn
