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

[Scarfed Garchomp]

After some researching I decided to take one of Donic True Carbon Innerforce or Anders Lind. Which of two have more crisp feeling? the only difference is second layer (limba for DTCI and ayos for Lind)

I'm sorry, I can't say because I have not spent a lot of time with TCI (only had a brief hit with a friends racket)

I think this is a very accurate description of the blade!
I've been playing with it for a few weeks and I really like it; it can be quite fast, but I always feel it provides a lot of control. Perhaps it's due to the choice of wood (outer koto and limba underneath), or maybe it's the mysterious hexa carbon next to the kiri core.

Does anyone happen to have information about what this 'hexa carbon' actually is? It sounds quite enigmatic; Donic doesn't describe this technology, and it seems they used it for the first time in the blade. Is it pure carbon, or perhaps a mix of carbon and something else? I get the impression that it's quite soft, there's no feeling of metallicness or stiffness.

Thanks Peppa Pig! As an update to the review I would like to mention that I ordered two more Anders Lind blades from TT11 today since they are back in stock as of this morning. The lightest they had was 86 in ST and 85 in FL. I believe this weight is the sweat spot when you consider hybrid rubbers and their weights. Any heavier blade will make the setup way to heavy for my liking also choosing a lighter blade most likely will change the characteristics of it because most of the time when a blade is too light compared to the average weight is because of inconsistency in the wood layers. I will follow up with photos of the handle comparison between the FL and the ST versions once I receive the order.

So I can't let this go apparently. Today I tried to figure out what hexamid carbon is supposed to be... I found zero actual clues, but I do have a new theory:
Maybe Hexamid refers to polyamid 6, which is nylon. That would make this a nylon-carbon weave.

Or it is just aramid/ arylate/ acrylate / etalyra / vectran / whatever carbon number 362819394 which is basically 95% the same as all the others but a new name to add some marketing mystery dust…

 

[Robin0910]

I have the blade and it looks like regular blue alc found in any butterfly alc blades

 

[Hotdog]

The name could imply a triaxial fabric, which has hexagonal patterns created the triangular weave. Perhaps with aramid fibers as a component?

 

[Tyce]

It's probably the commercial bollocks answer, but I'd love to think otherwise

Guys, who cares? count care lese about it. Important is that its play well

 

[Tyce]

I do, out of curiosity

T05 is not hard at all…

yes it is not ,
I meant for BH

which rubbers combination is recommended for Anders Lind blade especially for BH

Please, don't overcomplicate it. Pick the rubbers you like and put on it, everything will work for you if you have a sufficient technique

why not go with the rubbers Anders Lind uses himself? this would be the most official recommended combination i reckon.

My brother plays lind Hexa carbon with DHS Skyline 2 provincial blue(boosted) on FH and Nittaku seiger Pk50 on BH. Big mistake! In his and my experience playing with it, these rubbers being incredibly hard just doesn't work. Medium hardness rubbers will work well with this blade I think.

I have an Anders Lind with C2 on bothsides. The weight is about 191g, but not feeling that head heavy. C2 is supposed to be hard, but do not feel that on either side. The backhand is good with C2. The paddle can land many balls when you think they are going to miss.

Anders Lind Hexa Carbon owners...do you recommend the blade for an all around offensive player? Does it offer very good control? A good looping blade?
