gewo blades abducted by aliens

Poor quality control!

yes I noticed later they are prototypes.
gewo seems to let out many of their prototypes......
I remember once I was in a shop in germany and in a bucket of old blades for sale I found at least 2 gewo prototype blades.

I think I bought 2 or 3 blades from that bucket.... each one was 15 eur if I remember correctly.

I love Gewo's PRICE/QUALITY ratio.

Yea, I had posted those photos in that thread after Enzo Angles had shared them on his social media.

I think from a price perspective they are still behind their euro competitors like joola, donic, andro, tibhar....

I had Gewo Aruna Hinoki Carbon, the quality was impeccable and they are pretty cheap.

not the greatest example lol.
gewo aruna hinoki carbon 140 eur.
joola aruna off (it's the same blade) 60 eur.

Yup but you bought from me for 260 pln,new product it is like 450 pln. The material in aruna was cheap but it was playing good 7/10.
BTW Airoc sold prototypes for 50euro with shipment. No judgement for hussle because the table tennis market is full of imitative products but you can buy a lot of prototypes and make money because everybody choose blades very similiar to each other...and a lot EJ wants something different of course in longer time it is waste of money

Near Heilbronn?
There´s nearly always a good supply of prototypes among old and dented blades in a shop I know, but many of them pre-production samples, so you don´t know what you´re buying.
I buy for fun testing regularly, then pass on to a friend in Africa who needs support for his work with young players.

Nah when I was talking about price/performance I was taking 90€ into consideration (409PLN), just to be clear. In the second-hand market, it is even better. I think that side wood veneer might take away bit of performance...

It has like 2 or 3 tables for testing equipment.
south west of germany.
