Viscaria vs Timo Boll ALC
Both are outer ALC. Combined speed and control sit almost on top of each other. The practical differences are head size, flex and the handle Butterfly cut for Timo Boll versus the older Viscaria shape.
Viscaria is the 1993 template. Timo Boll ALC is the named tour wood that plays in the same family with a slightly different flex many European loopers prefer in the hand.
Do not buy both. Pick by handle comfort and the gram you are offered, then put the same rubber on each in Setup lab if you need a sanity check.
