Andro Legacy Wosik - Initial Thoughts

[cruzctrl]

I wanted a 5 ply blade that wasn't too flexy and had a Koto outer. That's surprisingly rare, so when Andro released their Legacy Wosik, I was excited. So far, it's a great quality blade for the price.

Specs:

Headsize - 157x151mm

Handle size - Square ST 23x28.5mm

Thickness ~ 5.8mm

Balance - 2.6cm at 86g

Composition - Koto-Ayous-Ayous


I am used to using a Timo Boll Spirit, and this felt extremely similar. The Koto outer makes the contact feel very precise, unlike the soft and bouncy Limba outer blades in this category. As a result, the short game is so good, without being mushy. On hard drives, the feedback in the hand gives you confidence to hit through it without being distracting. The thinness grants good flex for looping, but not so much that there's a massive arc. It feels like a Viscaria/TBS but slower and with better feeling. I could see someone starting with this blade, then using a Hugo HAL, and finally Viscaria as a very natural progression.

I will update this as I use more often.

Handsome blade. Not too often you see companies releasing blades for players that have long since retired from world competition, I think last I remember was Victas releasing blades for Jiang Jialiang and Norio Takashima

I put some wood polish on the handle because it looked dry and it's beautiful now. Handsome indeed!

Thanks for bringing this blade to our attention, it is probably slightly slower than the Korbel Speed/Hadraw VK that I am looking for but it seems to have a very similar design and since I am using Zyre 03, there is room for a match.
