Pros
  • Incredible feel
  • Looping
  • Flicks
Cons
  • short game
  • chops
I got this blade with Tibhar Evolution MX-P on both sides. It feels almost identical to the Andro Ligna due to the fact that both have spruce. The Appelgren seems to be better at looping than the Ligna and very good at looping generally. The dwell time is also quite good. Counter-Loops and blocks are simple and easy to do but the counter-looping can go long sometimes. One thing I had liked about the Ligna was the ability to basically slam the ball when backhand flicking. This blade is no less powerful in the flicking department. Overall, if you buy this blade with rubbers like Tenergy, Evolution, Bluefire, Rasant etc. you can't go wrong.

I use it with MX-P. So it is a really good combo! Very good control in block and counter. Very easy to loop with!

The blade has a great balance between speed and control. The blade is light with lots of feeling.
