Made from special laminating technology usually used to make guitar. A legend of all wood offensive blade. A more balance version of the original acoustic with larger handle compared to the original handle.
An upgraded version of the original and I believe it is better. The original blade is head heavy slightly more than normal hence you have to be careful of selecting heavy rubbers also had smaller handle which needed extra tape. However the LG handle is a decent size for average person and also the overall weight balance has largely improved which mean I can put those heavy rubbers like tenderly 05 etc and still feels light.
Anyway going to the performance of this blade it is as good as original if not better. This blade is made for loppers, very high dwell,spin ,control, flex.
This blade is not slow has got lot of power when you need it. Edit after playing with new one for few months. This one is better than original also i think its still better than carbon version which has less arc and difficult to land shots . All wood acoustic Large handle is the best all the way , blade has lots of power who needs carbon!
One of the best 5 ply all wood blades ever....."EXCELLENT blade. Amazing touch and feeling, a bit faster than the Violin but also a bit more flex, so GREAT for generating spin. This blade is a LOOPING MACHINE, but technique must be good to execute the true potential of this beautiful masterpiece of a blade. Also has many "GEARS" if you want to gently push and chop close to the table, no problem. It will handle it with ease. Mid to far distance looping rallies are a pleasure with the ACOUSTIC. I will be with this for years to come, My Viscaria is now in the closet collecting dust. I much prefer the feel of this blade to most composite blades i've tried through the years. A bit pricey but WELL WORTH it if you can afford it.
