I play frequently with both this Donic and the Viscaria. They are VERY similar and I actually like the Donic better. The germans just did this one right. psychologically speaking I see people have this loyalty to viscaria. attachment to the brand. and the price they paid. This clouds their judgement. But I have strictly played both blades only and with same rubbers over time because I simply couldn't make up my mind which one I liked the best. But because the Donic is much cheaper I wish to give the win to Donic. now that I think about it I actually remember the Donic is easier to match up with very different rubbers where the viscaria just didnt fully "click" with some of them for some reason. Subtle feel difference. All the rubbers loved the Donic blade.

Very good blade , medium hard feel , best match with Baracuda and Killer Pro. I have 2 pcs 88 and 86 gramm. This ALC blade is by many compared with Butterfly Viscaria and evaluated as very close to this blade. I dont know , i havent some experience with Viscaria , but I am satisfied with. Very balanced ratio control/pover , not very sensitive to incomming rotation.Blocking game significantly better as with my last blade , enough spin and what me surprissed - it is to dampening by passive strokes close to table. Edit 28.6.19: I am went back after while with another good blade. True Carbon is for me IMO very balanced - speed on the board , but at the table controll...controll...I am with this blade most agresive and dangerous. I optimized weight whole racket with Dawei C1 1,8mm - 176 gramm. Ideal for me at the table.

My fastest blade had to swap the mxp on the forehand side coz the ball was shooting like a gun if you got the skills and the technique then then best choice. I use now hurricane 3 on forehand and tenergy 05 on backhand side. Its faster and better than the boll alc or viscaria
