Man, I never saw you so excited before that day you told me the tale of your Andro purchase. You had such expectations for that blade.
Yup, customers vote with their feet and wallets.
For those who do not know the inside story on why I am ribbing t95mwp about that Andro blade...
He had seen a really impressive online review of that blade, which the reviewers received from Andro at the middle/high end of the weight range. An offensive blade that weight range would of course have outstanding offensive performance across the wide array of offensive shots one would use.
So that review got him interested. He ordered that blade from a reputable dealer online. When he got the blade, the weight of the blade was seriously lighter than the average range... more than 10 grams lighter than average. So of course, a blade lighter to that degree would not have overwhelming offensive performance... both in real terms and in comparison to one 10 grams plus heavier.
To put it in an American saying, t95mwp really got the azz with that vendor, the blade reviewer, and Andro itself. (meaning he was very highly displeased -not happy, dis-satisfied, upset, disappointed... to a degree that he wanted to skip leaving it to the Goon Squad to handle... and want to make war himself directly) He was expecting a weight in the average range that would have excellent offensive performance.
I couldn't help myself to joke t95mwp about that once more. You should have seen him the day after he got that blade, he was ready to fight... and at 5' 2" and 55kg, t95mwp can bring the fight if you aggravate him. (was I off by a few inches and kg ?)
I tell this story on TTD as it is a good learning for any reader. When you order a new blade, look to see if the weight is specified. If not, request a certain weight, or a weight range of your liking. The weight of an offensive blade has a very large effect on its offensive potency. Not every TT former knows this or has this in mind come time to ordering.
Myself, as a reseller... this might motivate me to spend the extra time to create a variant of the product on the webstore inventory listing for every individual weight of that blade model. That might be a best business practice to follow. I communicate clearly and order what is average or "better" weight given the blade, but a customer should know the exact weight before ordering. Having this as the drop-down display should do it, even if it is more work earlier to make variants of each blade on the webstore.
