Best Viscaria weight

I'm getting a viscaria soon and i've read is some forums and thread that the best weight for a viscaria is around 88-89g, while some say its around 92-94g. Is this true? How does weight affect it? and what is the best weight for a viscaria?

Thanks :)

in general, heavier blades are preferred by professionals bc they offer greater higher end shot output and more absorption when blocking.

The best Viscaria blades: 88-90g. My old Viscaria have 89g and it's perfect.

I like mine (88g to 90g) & yet the 84g (I think...) is kinda like an odd child. it's top Koto plies are so "graphical & pale" vs the others.

Thanks guys! I'll be getting one withing the 88-90g, since my current blade a Stiga Clipper wood, not even wrb,  before sanding the handle was very heavy. The Total setup weight before I sanded the master handle to a straight handle was 198g. After sanding 186g. So, the blade weight must have been greater than 95g or something. My avenger 5 weighs around 86-88g. :)

I have had 84, 88, 90 and 93.5 g Vis. They are very different from each other. I like the 93.5 g the most.

must be lucky to have everyone here at the same age, strength, playing style, hand size, ability, using bats made in the same factory and same year  and all enjoy identical rubbers

It is possible that the Viscaria blades built today to be lighter because the core is no longer kiri and is balsa?

Blades can be snowflakes, fine.  But then manufacturers or vendors should work out some kind of system for allowing players to purchase blades weighing what they want.

It would be nice is reputable vendors weighed their inventory and made that an available purchase option.  The current system of advertising one specific weight and then mailing out a blade within 10g sucks.  A simple way to win my business and distinguish yourself among online table tennis vendors...

I bought from them before and the weight listed is quite accurate. On the box that I received, the weight is written in pencil mark.

My Viscaria had weight 85, 86, 89, 90, 91, 93, 95g.  But the best feeling is 86g.

Silver tag or black tag?
