or putting your name on like 18 different blades and then probably playing with 19th custom composition which nobody can buy (Tibhar and Vladi) is much less OK for me.
if the blade with someone's name or even face makes your play better then good for you!
.......... I find it kind of said to make marketing buzz around some gear, saying how much you worked with the vendor, put your name on it, ask people to buy it because you play with it and then use something else. ........
He's always used the same two Maze blades which was bought for him early in his career. Many players are like that. They can't use anything but one particular blade. Not a particular blade type but one blade.
Freitas has been very honest in saying that his 'name' blade is basically the continuation of the Maze blade which he continues to use in competition.
