Wow Fextra all around. I assume it is 5 ply??

Looks interesting! An inner-fibre carbonado 45.
Hopefully the handle is a bulky as the Infinity handle.

Will he actually use it though I wonder? Would be a big boon for Stiga if he actually did and they could compete in the composite blade era.

Wow the Centric is innnerforce type? That is interesting. It might feel like an all wood type of feel since the blades with textreme as 2nd layer already feels woody.

Is this the first carbon inner blade from Stiga?

Donic ones are from their homepage - https://www.donic.com/donic/

Blade constructions are interesting. Bluegrip has a tacky topsheet, so looks like Donic are getting on board the Hybrid train. Choo choo.

In their German product description claiming that Bluegrip rubbers are "the first" to feature a tacky topsheet and a speed glue effect sponge. But if they mean "from Donic" then it´s no lie

Wasn't the Donic Traction III already some sort of hybrid?

I don´t think so, but I am not totally sure. From what I´ve read about it, it was a rubber Made In China adjusted to the European playing style. In the end, probably some Palio or whatever with a softer sponge (see Tibhar Grip-S which was Haifu).

Looks like the Tibhar Hybrid K1J is harder than the Euro version at 52.5 degree and has a cream coloured sponge http://www.sanei-net.co.jp/brand/tib...oduct.html#k1j

I was told that Centric will only be release in Japan and Japan as of the moment.
