It’s just optical effect. The round curve went out and back in focus of a long focal lens.
It's pretty hard to judge by the screenshots. But I notice FZD's blade is incredibly thin. Rumour says he's using a Viscaria with a Infinity handle right?
To me, it looks like the edges of the rubber want to come up from boosting.
Estimating from two slightly different screenshots I would say that the blade is around 6 mm thick (assuming the rubber is slightly (3.95 mm) below the allowed maximum (4.0 mm). One pixel on the screen makes a lot of difference. Viscaria or not? Maybe, maybe not... No blue ALC visible but also not the typical spruce structure of the Infinity...

How can one say for sure when the data is already distorted? But I do take photographs with good lenses. If you pay a little attention, you may even feel that Hugo’s blade is visibly bigger than Fan’s in the second pic, which is certainly an illution.Sure?
I can see the black/blue carbon layer at the bottom, especially on the right side. It stands out from the rest of the wood.
Iffen it would stand out from the wood it would shred their hands in minutes.
Iffen you can """SEE"" it standing out from the wood you should stop smoking that stuff
Literally. Like seeing white edge tape on FZD and ML's paddles...
Not really, we did see two different colors there, the white wood and the same wood of the blade in the handle region where "allegedly" it was tinted by sweat .
In conclusion, ML and FZD are using warped blades with white edge tape and their hands don't sweat on their handle causing discoloration (like the rest of us common mortals), and FZD is obviously not using a carbon blade (especially not a Viscaria as demonstrated many times before)...
