Review of Butterfly Viscaria

This is a Legendary blade that many champions used (Timo Boll, Zhang Jike, Dimitrij Ovtcharov), and using now (Fan Zhendong, Chinese National Team top players). This is also a Prototype of many arylate carbon blades (Timo boll spirit, Zhang Jike, Lin Gao Yuan, Marcos Freitas). This is because it is an average blade which could customized playing style by using different kinds of rubber, mostly recommended with T05+Hurricane 3(T05 Hard) or D05+D09C rubber.
However, due to its popularity, the quality of the blade is gradually going downwards, so I prefer Viscaria lovers to search for blades with code between "G" and "P", which ensure the blade is stiff and powerful enough to have nowadays close table continous backhand and mid-table forehand looping battle.

Review of Stiga Clipper Rosewood CRW (Limited Edition)

This is a blade which mixed the characteristic of Clipper and Rose Wood. (Handmade in Sweden)
The outer plies are making use of Rosewood for replacing limber outer plies that could harden the blade and give player confidence on blocking and counter-attack.
The inner plies are using the structure of 5 ayous layers in Clipper which gives the blade consistency and speed, even powerful enough to play with pimple out rubber.
The only drawback is, it is not performing well when using 50^ degree rubber on the blade, the lack of dwelling time would cause player unforced mistake while looping incoming backspin serve. I believed 45-47.5 degree rubber would be a reasonable choice for this blade.
