Viscaria Model

Stuor Viscaria Model delivers impressive offensive power, designed to match the fast, attacking nature of its inspiration. It generates significant pace for drives and powerful topspin shots, making it ideal for players who favor an aggressive style. The combination of outer wood and inner ALC layers provides a lively, elastic response that translates well into both first-attack and counter-driving situations.

Despite its speed, this blade maintains a forgiving and manageable feel. The ALC layers contribute to a sense of ball containment, allowing for precise placement and confident defensive play. Many players find the transition to this faster equipment smooth, as it offers enough feedback and stability to execute controlled blocks, serves, and touch shots effectively.

The feel is crisp and direct, offering clear vibration feedback that helps players connect with the ball. It provides a solid, responsive touch that many compare favorably to more expensive blades, though with a slightly firmer overall character that enhances power transmission.

It produces a medium-high to high throw angle, ideal for creating steep, attacking trajectories. This characteristic helps players generate aggressive loops that clear the net comfortably and dive onto the table, making it effective in topspin rallies.

Dwell time is quite good, allowing the ball to sink into the blade for enhanced spin generation. The wood and ALC combination creates a pleasant pocketing effect, particularly beneficial for brushing loops, serves, and any stroke where adding heavy rotation is desired.

The blade exhibits a moderate, controlled flex. The ALC layers add elasticity without making it overly stiff, resulting in a springy feel that aids in spin production and provides a comfortable, forgiving impact, especially on off-center hits.

Vibration feedback is present and generally considered helpful, providing tangible information about ball contact. It's not overly dampened, giving a lively sensation that aids in stroke adjustment and touch play without being harsh or uncomfortable.

Quality can be variable, which is a common trade-off for its accessible price point. While the blade performs well for the cost, with a solid construction that holds up in play, some users note occasional inconsistencies in finish or long-term durability compared to top-tier brands. It represents good functional value, though fit and finish may not match premium standards.
