Hi all
Had a hit with it last night at the club for a few hours and this is what I thought about it.
As a long time user of Schlager Carbon, I can say it plays very similar although with a few differences (had the same rubbers on both blades tenergy 05 FH and tenergy 64 BH)
The differences I found with the Garaydia T5000 is that the dwell time is a little longer. It can produce better spin on slower loops as I found it holds onto the ball a little longer than the Schlager Carbon.
The speed I found to be quite similar when hitting with full swing but a tad slower on passive strokes
The other difference I found with the blade is that it has a lower arc with fast loops which were just above the net. Passive loops still had higher trajectory.
Serves, chops, blocks and smashes felt the same. My game didn't have to adjust much as the balls were still very fast. I could play very similar and not have to adjust much. I played with a club member who usually blocks my opening loop with my Schalger Carbon which I then kill with a loop drive on my 5th ball but it wasn't the case with the Garaydia. He was blocking it off the table with my opening loop (not sure if it was due to the longer dwell the blade gave but it felt spinnier).
Anyway i only had a few hits with it socially but will give a better review when I use it in competition.
