Ovtcharov Soft Carbon V1 Review and comparison

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Can anyone please give a somehow detailed review on OSC V1?
1- built quality (durability, splinters, table hits, etc),
2- softness (of the outer layers, how soft they are on hitting a ball before reaching to the carbon layers),
3- flexibility (as the whole head, after the ball reaches the blade),
4- speed (compare to some famous blade, say... Viscaria, ZJK ALC, timo alc, tbs),
5- control,
6- feedback (vibration, how useful its throughout the game, the overall feel, wood feel, carbon feel),
7- touch (in short games, the small short pushes infront of the net, flicks, flips),
8- loops (close/mid/far to table, underspin),
9- catapult (when the flexion of the head is maximum, it recoils and spits out the ball with catapult, does it have it?),
10- handle feel,
11- wings feel,

12- and finally comparison with:
A- Waldner Senso Carbon (according to Donic, OSCV1 is a combination/hybrid of Ovtcharov Senso V1 and Waldner Senso Carbon with a better design and better quality, that true? what is the main difference between OSCV1 and WSC according to the points up).
B- Viscaria (its soft and flexible too, but good quality. A blade that can stay up to 5 years).
C- Bty Zhang Jike blade (as claimed its just a faster viscaria. This is my main blade).
.

Can it be a clone of Viscaria? Or Zhang jike Bty for that matter?

Thanks.
