update: idk what it is. this week i made an effort to play almost every day. viscaria felt easy to control again. anyway...

not so much needing it to be slower, but more grip and higher throw. 

i'm still interested in barwell. someone said mizutani has higher throw and easier control than viscaria despite being faster? since i already have mj, should i get barwell or are they so similar it's not worth buying another blade?

Viscaria has higher throw & better control than MJ. MJ has better grip (limba) & short game, is more powerfuland is better for serve / receive.

Not sure if you're interested in Barwell or Barwell Fleet but both are pretty different from MJ.

Interesting comments about moving to a slower blade. I have noticed a resurgence of Stiga wood blades. But it could be because of good marketing.
Other thing I noticed, was a drop in the number of users using Tenergy. Most players say it was to reduce cost.
The elite still use their TBS + Tenergy or similar.

Darker Speed90
Rubber Fh and Bh DHS Hurricane 3, 39/38deg

I have heard some people complaining that Tenergy don't work as good with the new ball as the celluloid, I did not noticed any big different myself compared to other rubbers when I tried it but that is also maybe a factor.

on a side note, no wonder i felt mizutani similar to a heavy viscaria. checking blade composition, they're both basically limba - kiri - limba with composites. (for the most part, i don't think soft koto top plies on vis do much except for touch shots.)

Barwell is a VERY picky thing for bh rubbers. It has a short, but powerful flex when you add power. When it adds up to the rubber`s own catapult, you get an uncontrollable cannon. Tenergy is not an option for Barwell, such a combo is very hard to control. Maybe Evolution EL-P, or Airoc M, or smth with even less catapult. T88-I is good, if you can handle those damn large pips. If there was a T88-I with smaller pips, it would be perfect.
