I'd love to try out the Nittaku Violoncello and compare it to my Defplay Senso. I really think it would be a great modern defensive blade for my game. Thanks for the opportunity TT11! -CK
I think as long as the blade isn't damaged, you can play with the same one for as long as it suits your game. I have many blades that are well over 4 years old, and I see no reason to replace them. I actually buy most of my blades used as well.
I've got a set of these on the way. I am not too optimistic about the change, but I feel obligated to get used to the new balls since they are coming whether we like it or not. I really hope I can't notice too much difference.
