About Viscaria Super ALC
Butterfly Viscaria Super ALC is a 2023 5+2 Super ALC table tennis blade made in Japan. It is ITTF-approved, classed power-offensive (OFF+), and uses Butterfly Super Arylate-Carbon: a denser ALC weave than classic ALC.
Factory figures: typical weight 87 g, thickness 5.8 mm. Handles listed: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Construction label Super ALC (5+2 Super ALC). Power-offensive play from mid-distance — heavy loops and finishing hits is the intended game.
Combined index: speed 94, control 82, stiffness 90 (official mapping 92 / 80 / 89). Outer fibre shortens dwell and raises the first-ball speed compared with an all-wood of similar weight.
Community score 9.2 / 10 from 420 reviews. Indicative European street price €220. Compare Viscaria Super ALC with other super alc OFF+ blades on TableTennisReview.

Handles
Handles listed for this SKU: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Handle shape does not change the ply recipe, weight class or Combined index.
- Flared (FL)
- Straight (ST)
- Anatomic (AN)
- Flared (FL)
- The usual European shakehand handle. The flare fills the palm and locks the blade in; it does not change the ply recipe.
- Straight (ST)
- A straight handle is easier to rotate in the hand — the usual pick for combination rackets and some two-wing loopers who change grip mid-rally.
- Anatomic (AN)
- An anatomic handle follows the palm. Same wood as FL/ST on the same SKU; pick it if that shape already fits.
