Butterfly Viscaria Super ALC
340
🏓 Core Identity The Viscaria Super ALC is the first blade ever to use Super Arylate‑Carbon , a newly engineered fiber that increases rebound speed while preserving the signature flexibility and ball‑feel of traditional ALC. It keeps the same wood‑ply structure as the classic Viscaria but enhances power without increasing vibration. 🔬 Construction & Materials Blade Composition Structure: 5‑ply wood + 2 Super Arylate‑Carbon Thickness: ~5.7 mm Head Size: 158 × 150 mm (slightly larger than classic Viscaria’s 157 × 150) Reaction Property: 12.1 (higher than classic Viscaria’s 11.8) Vibration Property: 10.4 (similar to classic Viscaria’s 10.3) Super ALC Fiber Characteristics Super Arylate‑Carbon is: More densely woven than standard ALC Stiffer and faster , transferring more energy into the ball Equally controllable , because Arylate still provides softness and vibration damping This results in: Higher rebound More precise energy transfer A crisp but controlled feel ⚙️ Performance Characteristics Speed & Power Super ALC significantly increases the blade’s reaction speed , making it: Faster on loops More explosive on counter‑attacks More stable in high‑impact rallies Butterfly explicitly states that the Super ALC version improves reaction without increasing vibration — meaning more power with the same comfort . Feel & Control Despite the increased speed, the blade maintains: Soft touch on short play Good dwell time for spin generation Stable blocking and counter‑looping Butterfly Australia highlights that the blade offers increased power and softer touch , expanding its versatility around the table. Playing Style Ideal for: Offensive topspin players Close‑to‑mid‑distance attackers Players who want more power than classic ALC without losing feel Recommended rubbers include: Tenergy 05 or Dignics 05 for fast, direct attacks Dignics 09C for tacky, high‑spin play 🎯 Ideal Player Profile The Viscaria Super ALC suits: Intermediate to advanced players Those upgrading from Viscaria or Timo Boll ALC Players who want: More speed Higher rebound A modern, professional‑grade ALC feel Butterfly specifically recommends it for players who already use ALC blades but want more power .
