Ligna handles are bit bigger compared to regular Andro blades. If I'm not mistaken, the Ligna blades are produced by Soulspin in Germany.
And that's exactly why I will never sell my Infinity VPS with Legend handle :)
Although it might be a 42d rubber, the feeling is more "compact" compared to many other typical soft rubbers, like R42, Bluefire M3, etc. I would not state that Hybrid MK feels hard, but compact is a better description IMO.
In order to provide the best advice, it's useful to actually mention the model of Mizuno.
I'm a big Mizuno fan as well, but only because of the Wave Medal series. Wave Drive does not provide enough support for me, but if you are looking for a light weight shoe, Wave Drive is the one. If you are...
Interested in the So-Ten as well. Although FL handle is a bit wider/bigger compared to regular Nittaku handle, I consider it still as (too) thin and that's holding me back.
2 New blades by Nittaku: Irodori series. Again a new type of carbon: KVC3
Gyo-En: outer, 5.6mm, 157x150
So-ten: inner, 5.7mm, 158x152
Top ply looks different as well. Maybe koto for Gyo-En and limba for So-ten?
(my japanese is a bit rusty so could not find any details on Nittaku's website ;)
Not everyone wants to discuss TT and TT equipment constantly.
Most of TT players are not an EJ and they don't change their blade and/or rubbers very often. But when they do, they visit forums like TTD to ask for advice. When they made their choice, they don't longer have the need to stay...
Personally I don't like the design. The bright colors make them look cheap. The price of the blades is not that bad. Surprised that Felix's blade is actually cheaper than the Shang Kun AC.
Just by looking at the stats from Tibhar, Felix's blade is a notch faster compared to Shang Kun AC.
Does...
Oh well....I'm only playing table tennis for about 38 years now and during all this time buying and trying out a lot of blades and rubbers. Not because I'm still looking for that holy grail, but just because it's fun. Also tried many 5-ply wood blades (of which Infinity VPS is my overall...
In general, a 5 ply wood blade is by default flexible compared to 7 ply or composite blades.
With a question like this, you will get dozens of names of 5 ply all wood blades. So, I doubt if this will help you at all. In all fairness, the majority of these blades play very similar. Just pick one...
I watch Gan's clips as well and I believe he said you can purchase these rubbers from him. PinYi is a startup and I think Gan is helping them out a bit by doing some reviews for them.
I'm a fan of 5-ply all wood blades myself. I recently switched back from Viscaria to my good old Infinity VPS. With a 5-ply blade, you loose some speed and the crispiness of a carbon blade, but the gain in control and consistency easily outweighs that. I truly believe that there are many players...
