I guess I prefer power over speed. Mainly for the kick of making those shots
The weight of the 290 is 97 gram. The average weight of blades is 86. (Looked it up). My former blade Xiom Axela has a weight of 90 (approximate), so a little less heavy.
The weight should be sufficient for that kind of strokes.
Reading a lot these past days I start to believe that the plastic ball plays a large part in this whole ‘dilemma’. I used to play, in my younger days, and at quite a high level, with Tibhar Spico Spin (FH), combined with a Charly Roesch blade (very fast) and the hard fast stroke was one of my game best asset. But.... besides it was like 30 years ago (46 nowadays) and both are rubber and blade not on the market anymore.
I really wonder if even if I had that combination again, this kind of shot, like I have in mind (trick of the mind...[emoji848]) would still be possible with plastic balls.
Anyhow, I will defenitely want know what is possible with nowadays materials (rubbers).
And not just buy OVA or Mantra H.
