Well, I played my first session with the Nexy Yoo Nam Kyu Pro ALC today. I'm probably going to be in the market for something else. Even though they are both ALC blades, the Nexy blade is very much a different type of beast. D80 felt pretty good on backhand side. The D80 felt much more direct and I was ripping backhands down the line and cross court. T80, not so much...
T80, didn't feel too good at all on FH. With the TBS/T80 the blade/rubber combination does a lot of the work for you. I would say its quite springy and dynamic feeling. T80 feels like a brick on the Nexy blade. It feels like I have to loop every single FH stroke. Can not hit, this make a terrible sound. The Nexy blade is pretty great on looping backspin and serving. It feel like the short game will potentially be pretty good, but will take some getting used to. I Feel like I have to spin every single time now. I can not hit and smash or block like I did with the TBS. Much of my FH game is focused around hitting, blocking, and counter attacking. I feel like I'll need change my entire playing style to play with this blade. I'm going to give it a few more sessions, maybe it will grow on me. Perhaps I should just take the T80 off?
I'm also going down to the shop that repairs blades tomorrow. I'm gonna have them take a look at it. Hopefully they can do something with it. If not, I'm not sure what I'll get.
