Anders Lind’s new blade: “Donic Anders Lind Hexa Carbon” question, please review it if you use it

[\_Kairos_/]

I dont know the TCI structure, but Lind it's exactly the Viscaria and True Carbon structure, except that the cabon is a layer deeper, and is hexa carbon whatever that may be...

I beg your pardon, but the Viscaria 100% does not use Limba.
Viscaria's composition is:
Koto - ALC - Ayous - Kiri - Ayous - ALC - Koto

If you don't believe me, then you may want to ask your countryman and blade maker @hipnotic about it.

Ayous.

And the Lind blade is nothing like the blades mentioned here, the combined thickness of the outer and medial plies is almost the same as just the outer on Vis for example, on the other hand it has a much thicker core. So, even tough it's technically inner, I believe it will be closer to a 3+2 in feeling. I won't be surprised either if people report an empty or hollow feeling too with lighter samples.

Could be, not sure...

I read the Pong Professor (https://www.megaspin.net/articles/579/butterfly-viscaria-review) review and he said "The Viscaria has a thick kiri core, a thin intermediate limba ply, a thin layer of Arylate Carbon, and a thin outer koto ply". @hipnotic probably knows better since it's his job/part time.

Either way ayous and limba are probably close in characteristics.

The viscaria has ayous, not limba. Limba myth started when Dan said it, he couldn't really have known, but nowadays many woodworkers say it's ayous, not limba.

I've finally tested the blade. 85g didn't felt hollow. It's faster than the standard innerforce, crisper, wich I liked on forehand with gewo nexxus El pro 53 hard, on backhand with my usual tibhar MK it felt a bit slower, and lacked feel.

It's good for the price, yet I prefer a "normal" innerforce, or if I want something faster, a Viscaria.

Does this blade have vibrations upon the ball contact?

Is there similar construction of blade Koto-Limba-(some type of carbon fiber)-Kiri/Ayous core?? ~ from xiom or yinhe

AL Hexa Carbon feels really nice on forehand and backhand with Tenergy 05 and 05FX in the max sponge. You can feel the vibrations on the forehand and backhand. It has a nice kick and really helps in sending fast topspins. The short game was better with 05FX, with 05 the push was a bit longer than expected, but the sponge is max.

Before that, it was a big mystery, since no review was anywhere and one of a few things written was that it was faster than Viscaria and similar feeling. Well, can´t say the top-end speed wouldn´t be faster, but the blade was controllable and the feeling was exactly what I would expect from the inner carbon blade. It does not have a metallic feel without touch for the ball from outer carbon nor a muted feel from pure wood.

The weight was 88 grams. Thickness is 5,5-5,6mm. Faster, but not so much different feeling than with Waldner Senso Carbon.

Do you think the harder koto out helps it feels more linear in speed when u ramp it up?

Not really sure, will give updates after some time.

here is Anders new video though.

Hey everyone, anyone could assess the size of the flare handle? For context, I find the handle of my Super Viscaria a bit too small, while the one of my Acoustic SG is just perfect for my hand.

Hi, my friend who had both ST and FL in hand said that it is not that big. I do not remember if Super Viscaria is the same or smaller than FZD, but Anders Lind may even be a bit smaller.

Flared handle size is definitely smaller than my FZD series, and more similar in size (if a bit rounder) from Super Vis. I sold my Super Vis and my Lind is being borrowed so I can't compare directly

VODAK Rebel Carbon OFF

Description of wood VODAK Rebel Carbon OFF is an attacking wood with a softer feel when bouncing the ball, designed for topspiners. The wood is made so that, despite the hard top veneers, Koto maintains great elasticity, which is why they can play large rotations even in a fierce aggressive...

Hayabusa ZL Pro is 1 that comes to mind

Close...
but that blade has ayous under the koto top ply.

Might be DHS 506X or DHS 506A blade, please double check the reviews by TT Gear Lab again.

the suggestions prior this are koto-ayous-...-ayous/kiri core. Vodak is the only one suggested that is similar, but I'm not certain if there is Vodak seller in our country.
