I recently switched from playing with the Donic Waldner Ultra Carbon to using the Ovtcharov True Carbon. While I am aware that it's not the hardest carbon on the market, I had never experienced hand or finger numbness before. That being said, I hit approx. 500-700 balls per weekday night and quite a bit more during my weekends off of work, so I am used to high levels of training, etc. On top of switching to the True Carbon, I switched from MX-P's on both sides to the Bluefire M1's on both sides. I love them, however, this numbness garbage is quite bogus. I had jammed my hand recently while working on my property so that may very well be the issue but, until I am back to 100%, I am sort of alarmed that my perfect blade rubber combo may not work out and I will have to switch to a softer rubber. I dread the thought. Have read a bit about carbon blades creating a numb feeling and wanted to pick your brains and see if anyone has ever experienced a similar issue before.
