Okay, look, I was clowning around and in trouble-maker mode when I made the comments about the Nexy logo looking like a marijuana leaf.

It's not, right! I know it isn't. The guy from Nexy is a religious guy and doesn't believe stuff like that is good. It really is a Palm Frond. And I actually think it is a pretty nice logo.

I bet 9 out of 10 people will say that's a weed leaf.
From only seeing from far it's probably 10 out of 10
:p

I was dead serious when I said I will never wear Nexy clothes because it is a weed leaf.

Really, Carl?:p

That's a weed leaf. I googled palm frond, doesn't even come close to those:

I have to admit, the logo made me hesitate to ever buy something from Nexy.

Not that I am opposed to people who wish to "partake". The last time I did was about 35 years ago, though. I smoked enough for a lifetime before that.

And no, I have never seen anything on a palm tree that looks like that logo.

The guy in between the shorties named USD and Der is not a forum member but his name is Dave. He is one of my favorite training partners.

There are some similarities but I prefer Karis. Hard to give specific reasons why. I think Karis is even more predictable as a user. I think people who like MX-S are going to like Karis a lot, as it gives you even more of what makes MX-S nice.

Not sure I agree with this. MX-S is very spinny and had a high throw on loop drives. Amazing for looping backspin. It also has a soft top sheet on a hard sponge. Yes it's blocking is good and controlled, but it is definitely heavily spin oriented.

Karis is more all round. You don't get a high throw on drives and it more clearly bottoms out than MX-S. Theyou both block topspin well but with MX-S I usually feel there is effort required to get the ball moving. And of course, MX-S is heavier.
