After contracts with many different manufacturers over the years the great man has finally signed with Joola a while ago. Now they produced a signature blade for him.
The current LARC sees the first appearance of the andro NUZN 50 and NUZN 55 rubbers.
It should be safe to say the numbers correspond with the sponge hardnesses, rubbers available in red and black (for now?)
Any info would be appreciated, although I do not think there are many test rubbers...
Somebody found this and asked me to sell it, but I´d like an assessment of its value and some info first, if possible.
What I know is what´s printed on it, and that it is a prototype.
But whether it ever got relased anywhere, under a different name, or never at all?
Internet resources have not...
2021 seems to provide a few very interesting new rubbers other than all the hybrids after all.
TIBHAR Evolution MX-D should by all means appear as a fixed star on many forehands when the halls re-open and the leagues are in full swing again.
And andro presents Rasanter R45, a rubber to provide...
A few impressions of the newest GEWO product, named after - and currently even used by - Aleksandar Karakasevic.
I had this blade ordered by a GEWO contract player friend in order to get a nice discount, yet forgot to mention any weight limits. With a catalogue weight of 92 grams mine arrived...
2 x Butterfly Kong Linghui Special Arylate Carbon black tag with anatomic handle, 81 and 84 grams respectively
Asking price for each 160 Euro including postage.
No trade offers please, this is to liquidate a collection.
2 x Butterfly Mazunov with silver tag, one with ST handle 95 grams and...
Glued once and tested for 30 minutes.
Very controlled inner aramid/carbon blade with soft touch, will work with many rubbers for many styles.
Just not what I need.
asking price USD 75 plus shipping USD 10
No information other than that the one with the straight handle weighs 88 grams, the other (a test sample) 86.
On the straight one, some sort of carbon fleece (?) seems to have been used, the other looks more like a normal carbon layer.
Asking price for each 25 Euro, shipping included.
You can find it on his Instagram, facebook and already another forum.
After playing another manufacturer´s rubbers for so long and many Donic blades he "really, no wait this one really really" played it is finally time to move on. On the German forum many early comments were along the lines of...
In 2019, I didn´t change my rubbers - I did test the new R53 which is even spinnier than my R47, just not when I play with it, must be activated by better players ;)
I also changed from carbon to all-wood, yet although my blade is new on the market in 2019, that is not a radical improvement over...
I guess many will have noticed the black and green andro shoes by now.
For my birthday I received a pair and I am completely hooked.
I play in at least two, sometimes three very different halls each week, with flooring ranging from professional "red TT floor/Gerflor" to regular sports hall...
like new, 89 grams
This blade was supplied to one of the bigger German brands for evaluation. It is based on the Drinkall PowerSpin, but has "outer" green Aramid Carbon layers.
The concept was shelved and the blade remains unreleased in this form.
I received it new, still sealed, and was...
I think this wants to be like a Zhang Jike. According to someone who tried both, it comes quite close. Can´t say myself, never tried an "original" Super ZLC.
At 89 grams it is however a stiff and fast blade with lots of power, on a par with an equally heavy Boll ALC (the best reference I can...
There are three new blades by Tibhar, each one interesting on its own, bound together by use of the Dyneema fibre. Dyneema is a very strong but also light material that enables to build carbon/fibre blades without making them too heavy from the start.
Fortino Performance offers maximum control...
87 grams, straight handle.
Plays softer than most carbon blades, almost an all wood feeling. Great control, more than enough speed.
But I prefer something different and would happily see this end in a collection or in the hands of someone who loves to play with it.
My price: 155 Euro including...
First of all, sending this bunch anywhere will cost 20 USD, if that puts you off you have just saved time ;)
I am selling 16 Tibhar Evolution rubbers as a package.
What is there to know?
1. ALL these rubbers have been played. They are used, but none of them over-used. You will find some...
