Customer review for Butterfly Viscaria

External Review for Butterfly Viscaria on September 5, 2016

This has to be one of the most highly sought after blades ever. And it doesn't disappoint. Not with the right rubber anyway. I am a loop oriented player, preferring to return the service short and controlling the placement of loops thereafter till I can loop drive one down the line or cross court. Naturally,I started out using the highly recommended Tenergy 05 both sides, as I am very familiar with it. It played well with counter hitting and looping. The close to the net play left a lot to be desired. Against attack style players, I found my self popping up their short low spin serves, taking 2 steps back and attempting to counter attack or taking a ball to the gut. After a couple of practice sessions of that, I went back to using my old blade. Yet, I missed the feeling on hits and loops and the speed of smashes. I began doing some research on rubber that pairs well with Viscaria and decided to give DHS Skyline 3 Neo a try. After a couple of weeks, wearing down the extreme grip of the rubber, my problem was solved. No more issues with play at the net. I also gained spin and consistency on my serves. FH: Skyline 3 Neo BH: Tenergy 05 is perfect for me on this blade.
