Whats the deal with the Acoustic?

I use a ST handle and i must say it's a great blade. It's not very top heavy or handle heavy, very well balanced.  I don't know the exact weight of mine but it's not overly heavy.  There is minimal vibration, just enough to let you know what's going on.  Overall I'm glad this damn forum got me thining enough to experiment with it

Peter79, I use is omega 3 bios Asian version-I got it from iruiru.-will order more,-good partner for tenergy05

I have another Violin at 79g on the way from Iruiru and when Borko recovers I'll have a second beauty from him. I'm all set. 

So far I don't have any problem with any rubber on my Violin. But I could not figure out what rubber would work well with my Acoustic. I'm not quite in love with Acoustic yet.

I have tried many different rubbers as Yasaka Pryde, Yasaka Extend HS, BTY Bryce FX, Sriver G2 FX etc. But I don't have the nice feeling as with my Violin. With Acoustic, I could play a little far from table. Smashing and looping are ok, but I lost the soft touch/feel close to table. Blocking with Acoustic somehow is off table a little. The control is not as great as my violin. With the Violin, no matter what rubber I put on, it feels great.

Skyline,

I've just got an Acoustic FL (84g) last week and I'm loving it. I put a Bryce Speed in the forehand and Pryde in the backhand. It's amazing to block with this combo as well as mid-distance looping.

My friend uses a TBS with Sriver and Sriver FX. After I got my new blade he swung around with a little bit and he liked it a lot saying it was very similar to his TBS but it felt better.

is the violin stiffer and slower that is why softer sponge works better?

I feel Acoustic has more power away from the table versus Violin.
Violin has better touch and control, and easier to maneuver the ball and direct it anywhere.

Violin is just the same thing as Legato I have told you about.Beautiful bounce on both sides with Srivers.More feel (I would not call it vibration) and as acoustic sound when playing as with Acoustic. Weight distribution is better on my Violin,even with heavy Srivers. Thank you,guys-all who compared Acosutic and Violin. If you are doubtful about my comparing Violin and Legato by Darker,give the latter a shot. I also want to say special thanks to Chronos,who sold me the Legato.I am ordering one from Iruiru.No more Ej-ing-there is nothing left. And if there is something else out there -I don't care

I'm confused. Do you like the Violin more than the Acoustic and why are you ordering another Legato? Which one is THE ONE? :)

legato is just unknown!violin is a nice blade,realy nice and very similar in feel to legato.i feel great with either one,acostic,like peter 79 says is more suitable for a looping stly,violin has better feedback and not so picky as far as matching rubbers.

legato and violin are pretty bouncy blades,so is acoustic,but the first two may have more solif feel,they are nearly stiff,acosutic is a bit flexible. legato and violin are not head heavy with my rubbers attached,acoustic and srivers just make the blade feel "top heavy". violin ,which i got weights only 8o.8 gr...very light,but still powerful.i don't know the weight of either my legato or acoustic,but my guess is 82-87 gr...

to be honest -violin is....violin is stiffer.
