Member of Acoustic and Violin Clan

I've just received Violin Limited Edition from iruiru. weight it, indeed it's 95.2 gr.
The head size is bigger than normal Violin, but smaller than Vioncello.
The head shape looks more egg shape.
The handle is huge!!!!
The biggest FL handle I've hold.
It's almost 3 mm thicker than Violin L-sized
I'll post the picture comparison later....

My newly arrived 75 grams Violin J-pen.

I would love to try them both-how are they compared to the Hans Asler Stiga Offensive Classic or Optimum Sync-or how do they play full stop..

anyone who has an Acoustic Cpen that he/she would like to sell or trade please pm me, thanks!

what hardness rubber is most suitable for Acoustic?
soft? medium? or hard rubber?
thanks!

I hope to become a member of your CLAN in a week time=))) 

Hard but non Chinese:
Andro Roxon 500 Pro, Stiga Calibra LT Plus which is a harder version of Calibra, Spin Art but you need a lot of power to perform it well, Yasaka Pryde, as long as the degree for tensor rubber is above 47.5 deg it's considered hard.

What is so special about 1st generation or any generation of Acoustic?

Never tried hard rubber on Acoustic and Violin. Please tell me what would be the difference in using soft and hard rubber.

I'm #92 on the list and I'm now member of the Acoustic clan as well: I'm now a proud owner of an Acoustic ST, 85g.

I played with Violin the whole last season. It's a wonderfully balanced blade, with a very nice feel. The reason why I switched to Lissom is that I play Vega Pro on the forehand, and with that rubber on Violin and my technique, looping against backspin was rather difficult. I tried Vega Europe, and things improved. However, when I hit hard, the rubber bottoms out and balls get unpredictable. Lissom and Vega Pro is a perfect match for my game. However, I always wanted to try Acoustic as well so when I saw an Acoustic ST for sale on the forum, I couldn't resist. From a first impression, it is just as good as Lissom for looping, however it is more head-balanced, which I tend to dislike. In the next weeks I'll test it with XIOM Vega Pro/Europe rubbers. Next season I'll play one of those three blades (unless the BBC blade that I also still have in my cupboard turns out to work magic) and that will be the end of by blade EJ-ing.
