https://www.andro.de/en/andro-achanta New blade from andro. Gauzy has also been using a new blade for a few weeks now, so probably more Signature blades are coming.

Maybe this blade behaves very differently with different weights or I´ve had one that was outside the norm (did have "normal" version, but that shouldn´t be the point) or I used Monday rubbers or whatever, but: My Wavy weighed 92 grams and was indeed very fast, also stiff and one of the dullest...

If it´s done jokingly I´m sure you´re a good sport. Like, for example, Prithika Pavade struggles to win anything now that she is with GEWO ;)

Hell yeah! :) I got the blade handed down by someone who wasn´t entirely happy, complete with two DNA Hybrid H. Very good combination, and when I tried Helix M I was expecting an explosive catapult effect compared to those, because Helix M is softer and non-sticky. But this rubber behaves very...

And probably as a sidenote, German national team player Nina Mittelham is now with GEWO after playing with Butterfly for a long time and announcing her own brand Mibe years ago, of which not much is to be seen.

True for original Dornenglanz and Dornenglanz II, while Dornenglanz III is also available in 1,0 and Dornenglanz X in 1,0 and 1,5. But that says nothing, just for completion.

They do. Humidity from sweat and glue slow them down a little. Some also say a blade can be "played in" and age adds feeling. For a pro player who glues every other day this might be a reason to change after a set period of time. For an amateur player who plays with the same rubbers for a few...

I can understand the balance issue when the head size is larger than "normal", but how heavy is your Ovtcharov blade? As you most probably know there are variations in the blade weight, even with Butterfly´s quality control standards, and finding a lighter Ovtcharov than yours might be a...

Timo Boll is a legend and popular worldwide. Even after the end of his active career that makes him a better brand ambassador than many other pro players, although of course Butterfly has other high-profile players under contract, too.

Kinda... I see advantages for R47 due to the catapult effect (more support on strokes) which is really low-ish on the G1 and also wouldn´t recommend the change.

Freitas has softer touch compared to Viscaria because Limba is used as the top veneer as opposed to Koto. Harimoto also has Limba outer plies and the ALC is directly on the core, not beneath the surface, and it has a bigger head. So from the construction three different blades. And I think...

Must be. This rubber is so soft that it can´t be Chinese scale.

Both are excellent rubbers and the Freitas is a good blade. The combination works well as such. But the problem is, any rubber works on any blade, but not for anyone. So if I say it´s a controlled combination and someone else with different preferences tells you it´s way too fast or yet...

That´s the point. It will not go down to "amateur softness".

The right booster will make a rubber marginally softer, but the increase in spin in overall performance is much bigger. You will not arrive at a standard t05 when you boost a t05 Hard, for example. Really soft rubbers do not offer professional players (very few exceptions) the power they need...

If you compare otherwise identical rubbers, you´ll very likely feel more at ease with the softer and thicker version. If not, the comparison makes no sense, because there are factors like topsheet hardness and construction or sponge characteristics. So let´s say Bluegrip J1 (55) and J2 (52,5)...

For hybrid rubbers, none. But you couldn´t say it lasts forever, just as long as non-hybrid Tensor rubbers, which is a major achievement for a hybrid. So you might get a Rasanter to enjoy a good longevity.

More like looking for inside info on what the manufacturers do than what you want :) If Gewo can do it, other ESN customers also might. Just haven´t seen it before on any pro player rubber I´ve received (but then I also wouldn´t have checked...), hence my curiousity.

That, and also the playing style depends on the mindset. So for starters, teach them basic strokes and watch them ;)
