Hi. Thanks for the reply. Can you please give some feedback regarding the playing characteristics of the blade? In terms of dwell time, vibration, control and overall feeling? Also. Do you know what the wood composition of the blade is?
thanks

My TP_Ligna ALL characteristics:
frequency: 1250 hz
Balance: 13 cm from the head
Handle flared in walnut
Head Size: 157x151
Wood composition:
Limba (0,55) - Limba (0,55) - Kiri (3,7) - Limba - Limba
The veneers are glued with epoxy resin.

Dwell time is medium. Much more than Viscaria, less Donic Shiono def.
The trajectory of the ball is medium-low for a 5-ply wood, great control with good penetration force. I really like the feeling.
Very low vibrations: medium stiff frame for an all round blade.
It looks - as behavior - like a carbon frame with reduced gears and greater ease of play thanks to the ability to place the ball and control speed.
It seems a Donic Dotec Wang Xi control plus but more handy.

You would have to hit harder, I wouldn't say impossible but harder.
Remember that the blade and rubber is one unit. You can (up to a degree) compensate with the rubber. I have a superfast (Primorac carbon) blade with a slow (Rakza 7 Soft) rubber. This combo has approximately the same speed as my slowest blade with a super fast rubber. The feeling is different however, but don't expect to know what You like until You played for some time.

You have a good blade, even if You think it is too fast right now, hang on to it, otherwise You will regret getting rid of it.

Cheers

Hey folks,
I’m looking for a review of the Andro Gauzy BL5 blade. Cant find a single review of it online. Let me know if you know its weight, vibration, dwell time, and overall feel. It would be best if you can compare it to the stiga allround classic. Thanks!
