New Equipment (Rubbers & Blades) 2020

[erik07]

Does anyone heard of new Donic products, e.g. blades and rubbers ?
Who will come after Dima went away as Advertising partner ?

 

[yoass]

Why, Bernadette Szocs of course. As good a brand embassador as any! Or, Darko Jorgic aka "Best Backhand Ever(???)".

Any new 40+ balls for general release? (Especially from Nitakku?).

SANWEI will release new premium balls soon.

I will be receiving the new Joola Dynaryz rubbers soon. Only saw this on a few German forums.

They have several new blades coming as well.

I think they will send me 3 new blades too. I just did not get the names.

I think they will send me 3 new blades too. I just did not get the names.

From what I read, there is a series called Vyzaryz
Freeze (ALC)
Hybrid (ALC/ZLC like Ice Cream)
Trinity (combination of their PBO-C fibre with Carbon)

Quite costly.

Also 3 Santoru models with Kevlar Carbon and different outer veneers.

And then two Xylo all wood blades, 5 ply with Hinoki outer and 7 ply.

All this from someone who has a catalogue that has been leaked it seems.

 

[yogi_bear]

I think just the composite blades (high end) will be sent to me like last time with their PBO blades.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.

He's a very classy and humble player in my opinion, deserving of his signature blade.

Surprised I hadn't heard anything about it or seen any advertisement, yet it's already available!

I might be mistaken, but it looks like the FL handle is a bit squarish and flat on top which is my preference.

I am not sure if you have noticed that there are actually two FL handles available for Butterfly Assar: standard FL and optional FL large. Unfortunately, I don't have any information regarding FL Large dimensions.

It is available in different handle sizes (e.g. big flared for bigger hands) and Made in Europe. Seems to be Innerforce Type with Limba top ply. Also stated, that is comes with kevlar carbon (not ALC!)

 

[yogi_bear]

Hmm the assar blade looks nice and elegant.

This is new. I think Butterfly never had this. Hope this blade will be available in USA

Butterfly had blades with smaller and larger handle sizes before. TB All, Primorac, Korbel have the Flared handle in two sizes.

never seen this. Can you give link?

I saw them at a BTY shop, but you'll also find the various handle sizes in the BTY online shops. The smaller FLs are "Flared XXS", the larger (or perhaps, more regularly sized; that depends on perspective) are just Flared - "Holrond", in Dutch.

It looks like this handles available only in Europe. In USA TImo Boll ALL comes only in one FL

The handles you mention are for Kids and adults (e.g. Korbel). Assar seems to offer 2 different adult handels for the first time it seems
