So, after about a year LSD I am gone on the wagon and have time for fun the Viper it stuck from Doc to explore the acclaimed offensive options. : Mrgreen:

Test object is a red Viper ox on a recent NSD in original size (with handle shortening). The forehand was with Tenergy 64 is in 1.7mm.

What first strikes: The film ... well. Have been worse seen, but also significantly improved. One need when sticking a bit knack for not immediately produce a rubber ball. It also is advisable to seal the wood before and apply a thin layer VOC adhesive. So you get the thing afterwards also healing back down.

Point two is somewhat unusual The J.T.T.A.A. and the ITTF stamp with approval number are located very far apart, so that inevitably either make one or the other print unreadable mounting on standard sheets. For central installation on a normal sized wood both stamp rules are cut off in the middle ... somehow unhappy and actually lt. Also not permitted. For large sheets as the NSD, it just fits and therefore represents a problem for me since. I have two copies here and are dbzgl. identical. There should possibly rework. The flap is down anyway enough space.

Now to the essence, namely, the game features:

First impression: Wow! If the safe! Feels right well. A very variable knob with which you can play almost anything. So The Viper comes in the all direction. The comparisons with D.TecS from OOAK forum can I NOT understand. Much more feels a softer sheen reminiscent Dorn (similar playing feel). No Flummieffekt or catapult available. Even the disruptive effect moves the NSD approximately at the same level. As previously wrote someone else, opponents hit happy times on the ball pass or make the occasional slight error because the ball bounces extremely flat out.

What really stands out but to take the short-short game and the possibility of roll ups and topspin extremely short. No other Noppe that goes so safe with me. The Viper is really easy to play and has very good offensive options, pushing and counter / beat develop a remarkable pace, while the block are still well braked with passive attitude bat. The coating reacts natured and forgiving on incoming spin and will most like played at your table. Also about a meter behind the board is the US enough to the enemy to annoy sustainable. The charge acceptance designed generally very easy. In attack go all knobs techniques, but also a NI-counter is reliable playable. For ox currently probably the measure of all things.

At first I was convinced that even the maximum spin from the long defense loose enough to avoid being shot down. The balls stay there anytime very flat and easy to control, but I had to end up sorry to say that the Viper at max. US is quite a bit away from D.TecS, LSD and even from BT. He reigns from the back rather RF level, which its strengths indeed rather has at the table.

Until opponents-TTR ~ 1700 tailing was not really possible, the rude awakening comes then so from TTR ~ 1800 ... there is gerohrt the Viper until the knobs fly. One can certainly bring, yes, again, yes ... but not dangerous! It seemed to me to provoke hardly possible shelves. This is far more effective with D.TecS and consorts, although average exchange can be performed easily.

So it is kind of a question of the application area. Until 1700 TTR at the table 1+ asterisked because of the security and the offensive options, the regular course in the long defense rather useful (because safely) to grow by (because too dangerous). For most of the LN (ox) player which certainly somewhere between TTR ~ 1300 to ~ 1600 "rumkrökelt", the Viper is really a great development. It remains to be seen how he plays long against stronger opponents. For this I still need the experience, but I'll stay tuned!

Oh, there are also a small test video describing what my buddy Croudy has prepared for interested LN Group:

I've played around on the day a lot and tries to get a maximum variety of impressions from Viper ox. Teams no. 1 (TTR ~ 1600) currently playing Niedersachsenliga youth and 1. BCC Men and attacks on both sides, with good technique and topspin on. When Viper him annoyed most the extremely short stop balls and bunt that you can play with instinctive precision. I could move him virtually at will and at any time had an outstanding control. Did not like it. : D

Teams no. 2 (TTR ~ 1860) plays BZL front (like myself) and next season Verbandsliga rear / center. He ... There then were the limits of the Viper reached a very clean technique and a board tough TS game with both sides Tenergy max. It is broken down literally in defense for lack US and can score only on the placement or forehand. Also, I could not stay at the table, because the attack took place just here in the pages too fast and long. Did not like it.

Nevertheless, the Viper a really interesting Noppe for the game at the table and finally probably the most exciting new development in the GRIN-sector. We have to mention that this pad is suitable for a GLN like delaying game, but its strengths clearly has the active pimples game. Who itself gladly takes the initiative and the opponent bets on placement and pace under pressure, is definitely the place to be! The use of faster woods, with still good control, is distinguished from the Viper.

The 'instability' you feel may be due to the pips being so soft, which tend to have more 'random effect than stiffer LPs. Coming from Dtecs, another very soft long pimple, it did not really notice the difference, but if you change from the stiffer LP it may be more noticable.

Roy, I see you had used Dornenglanz in the past. How would you compare Viper to Dornenglanz?
