Additional InformationFAQ: Does Megaspin sell Japan-made Butterfly blades? Some Butterfly blades like Korbel and Grubba are produced in factories both in Europe and in Japan, so they exist in 2 variants. When a Japanese blade has a Europe-made version, we always carry the Japanese variant. Other blades like Butterfly Timo Boll Offensive are only made in China so we cannot carry a Japanese variant of these blades.

Reviews of Butterfly Viscaria (72)
My journey to decent beginner took me from a Primorac all-wood blade to Viscaria. The transition has been completely seamless, using T05 on both blades. The way Viscaria is usually described it is quite daunting dabbling in ALC blades as a beginner, but Id argue I have much better feel and even better flex than when using blades like Yasaka Sweden Extra and Primorac.
This blade feels and sounds like this would be the blade all other blades were spawned from. Everything just feels right and as expected. Using Ternergy 05 on both sides against Amicus Prime I can do fast forehands and backhands all day long with incredible consistency. The carbon kicks in at just the right time, and you can often feel the flex very clearly, much better feedback than any wood blade Ive tried. The weight and balance is perfect. Ive had better handle fits on other blades (Innerforce Layer S) and the design is super dated. I now use this blade exclusively even though addiction has taken me through a bunch of other blades - Primorac (T05), Stiga Rosewood XO (MXP), Carbonado 45 (Mantra M), Innerforce Layer S (T80), Joola Rossi Emotion (H3neo), Infinity VPS V (Genesis IIs). Total weight of my Viscaria with T05 is 171g (my lightest non-balsa bat).
Very fast blade, not so soft like People describe it here. Good dwell time, but with medium soft rubbers. Good control and High arc on loops.
Plies: 7 (5 Wood + 2 Composite)
- 2 * Koto 0.5mm - 2 * ALC 0.25mm - 2 * Limba 0.5mm - Kiri 3.3mm Width: 157mm Height: 150mm Thickness: 5.8mm Weight: 90g Speed: 8.9 Dwell/Spin: 8.6 Control: 8.6 Stiffness: 5.2 Hardness: 8.2 Value: 7.5 Overall: 9.2
Sufficient speed, sufficient control, a bit stiff. Stable but had little vibration compared to all wood.
This blade needs lot of power to play.
very slow in my perspective. prefer the timo alc blade.
THE blade, even after all these years. Works perfect with every kind of rubber, backhand is great.
The only blade on the same level is DHS301, but while the DHS301 is a lot more focused and delicate close to the table, making serves, serve return and touch much sweeter, the Viscaria doesn't lose power when backing from the table, and is just seriously powerful.
Have been using this blade for little over a year now. FH is Hurricane 3 Provincial 39 Degree and BH Skyline 2 Neo 39 Degree. What I can say is that this is the most balanced blade I've used, doesn't feel top heavy at all like some of the other blades I've used (ie. Dynamix17).
The blade is great for looping or driving close to mid-distance, and the feel is a tad stiffer than lets say a PG7. This means that you get a boost in power without exerting 100% effort in shots. If you are at least an intermediate level player, the spin factor is definitely more important than speed for winning rallies. The counter looping is one of my favourite aspects of the blade. Paired with a harder rubber, you can really feel a solid connection every time. Blocking on BH is also especially easy. My only contention with the blade is it doesn't pair especially well with the Skyline 2's low throw, so would not recommend it with this rubber. Hurricane 3 NEO for FH however is a must. Also, the blade handle is a bit wide and can hurt sometimes. This is definitely my go to blade, will try this with H3 NEO and Tenergy 80 next. Feel free to email me questions. Cheers!
Wow what a blade,my game improved a lot, i tought it was my technique but i was the blade that make the diference, everithing is on a high level with this blade forehand, backhand, block, what a game i'm having,this blade is going to be a keeper
Long throw,feels head heavy. Powerful. Short game needs good technique. Needs awhile to break in.
damm this blade is perfect except for one thing... it's handle is very short for my hand..
For anyone considering a Viscaria i hope this helps. I have a Viscaria, Tim Boll ALC and a Tim Boll Spirit with Evoltion ELP on the forhand and FXP on the backhand, both max thickness. I play an attacking top spin game from mid and close distance.
The Tim Boll ALC is the fastest, more suited to mid distance, has good feeling but not very forgiving. It is quite direct with i would say a medium throw. The Tim Boll Spirit is slightly slower than the TB alc, has less feeling but a bit more forgiving and seemed to work well both mid and close distance.. Again i would say a meduim through. But it felt dull due to lack of feeling. The Viscaria......for me the right choice. Has great feeling, slightly slower than the other two, much more for giving, works both close and mid distance with a medium to high throw. For me the Viscaria has more of a wood blade feel which i like, and for me the balance between speed and control is the best i have found to date. The blade is geared up for topspin attack. I would have liked to stay with a wooded blade but felt rather outgunned by carbon blades to for me the best option, unless anyone else knows different.
Just perfect use with the Baracuda for fh and tenergy-80 for bh. The sweet spot is quite large and it is effortless to hit the ball as you wish.
This is the best blade I have ever used so far- it's great for looping and smashing, especially when you put tensors on them... I used Xiom Vega Japan and Joola MaXXX 500 on them, and it is a BEAST. If you want a looping machine type blade, then this blade is for YOU!
An amazing blade for mid distance loopers and the only ALC blade I play with now after being a long time equipment junkie. Great speed, control, consistency, power, and flex: this blade can do it all with no significant weaknesses. Looping, flicks, blocks, flat hits, and short game can all be played extremely well with this blade. Butterfly ALC blades are all great, but the handle and slight head heaviness of this blade just make this perfect for me. The only time I wouldn't recommend this blade is if you are a beginner still learning the basic strokes and then you would be bettter served with a 5 Ply wood like a Nittaku Acoustic or Violin. An all time classic blade for offensive players!
The best Butterfly ALC blade for me. Supreme control with nice speed. Old but you can not go wrong with this blade. Only for good players and not for beginners. If you are searching for a softer TB ALC you should try this legendary blade.
Update: I am playing 2 month with this blade and I love it. Feeling is insane. I was never a fan of a koto outerveneer blade but this blade is awesome. Feels soft and has more than enough power to finish the point. This will be a keeper for a long time. Compared to the Nexy Kanaph I played before it is a better looping blade, while the Kanaph is a better blocking/pushing blade because the throw angle is lower. I love both blades but the Viscaria fits my style better. Chris
