So given the circumstances with all those lockdowns and restrictions during last year, do you think brands will release less new products in 2021? Like a calm before the 2022 storm?
Loki Arthur Pro blades are all Hinoki top and composite. A bit expensive but quality seems to be very high. Its better to wait for aliexpress sale. Rated off+ but Chinese seem to think off+ sells best, so they write it on everything. This one was for $65 a week ago...
Thanks, Unfortunately I am FB negative aand its not going to change. I will try rotatio as its located in EU, but If it fails I will kindly ask you for different contact info of your friend like email if possible.
Would love to try it but it seems like brands like tmount or itc are hard to get here in Europe. At least much harder than chinese and obviously european stuff. Is there some asian web store that carries tmount and ships to eu?

So results of my fun with aliexpress
Blades:
Palio V1 - now my sons blade
Yinhe N10s - now my second sons blade
Yinhe V14 pro - tried, seemed too fast and stiff, waiting for me to improve
Loki Arthur K5 - Love this one. Techy enough to satisfy my inner geek, woody enough for me to handle.

And this is why I dont seek any improvement via gear. I simply want new toy, track my shipment, unpack, smell it and glue it. If I wanted to compare, measure and evaluate a ton of characteristics and numbers, I would go get a new golf driver :-D
