unfortunately we can't actually see how much he's sanded due to the markers, but it's hard to imagine you could sand it enough to make the blade more flexible
Not as hard as the rubber G-Spot
But seriously, I think Tibhar Genius was a poor name. I would be embarrassed to show it at a tournament...I would feel pressure to hit crazy, unorthodox touch shots and stuff.
One thing I noticed is he has a lot more toss on his side top. His backspin is right out of his hand. Really bad. If we're talking about red shirt guy.
If you don't want to call it you can at least use the tell.
Honestly the best and most up to date site to look at is mine. Air does have a site hosted by revspin somewhere but it's not up to date, I don't think.
