New Simon Gauzy Signature blade !

[Creek]

About the handle ttgearlab is absolutely right. The outer syntelliac have a similar FL handle as the viscaria (thicker in the upper part where the handle transists to the blade face) while the inner syntelliac are more straight there.
For the gauzy, the Images on the Website Show a more viscaria Like handle, but the real footage videos clearly show, that the handle is similar to the inner syntelliac. What a mess…

Just got it today. Definitely feels more "woody". Will put D09c and T05 and try it later this week.

Can you tell me the dimensions of the plate? Can you tell me if the handle’s shape is closer to that of a Viscaria or an Innerforce (like the classic VCI)?

Not sure if these are what you're looking for. Took a quite measure of Viscaria from a friend. The Gauzy VCI handle feels smaller for sure compared to Viscaria.

Can anyone who have the VCI and/or Gauzy edition make a comparison with Innerforce ALC?

Vci is a little faster and harder than if-alc in my opinion. Both excellent blades of course. Gauzy edition might be closer to the if-alc, I'm hoping to pick one up soon.

Same as Andy. The VCI also has a larger face, and the balance tips more towards the head, especially if you use hard rubbers.

Thanks for the measurement.
VCI and ZCI have the same shape as harimoto blades, even as handle profile.

Both blades are supposed to be 5.9mm but my VCI measures out at 6mm (my IFALC measures at a hair under 5.9mm). Picture to show how both blades use different thicknesses for surface plies and core

Tried the Gauzy yesterday, hall was very humid so couldn't really get a proper feeling as the rubbers didn't always do what I expected. First impressions is that the Gauzy feels a little harder than my Innerforfce. Gauzy feels slightly more headheavy. Speed and feeling is very close but Gauzy has a bit more top end power it seems like, slightly lower arc too. Blocks, flat hits and counters feel a bit easier on the Gauzy, for opening on backspin and pure touch Innerforce still king becuase of the slightly deeper hold. Overall very similar blades with marginal differences.

If anyone's interested my Gauzy weighs 87g and has a frequency of 1312hz, my Innerforce 88g and 1324hz. Gauzy definitely plays a bit faster than the number might suggest.

Yet another "new" blade, as amateur players we should stop buying "new" equipment thinking our game will improve.
Most amateur players would play better with an allwood blade instead of the fast carbon blades.

Most amateurs will never improve past the level they reach after 3-5 years, so why not find fun in trying different things instead?

This isn’t the first time Lab has reported different information about Andro. It was the same with the Ligna_TP series.

I have no insight into the procedures of TTGearLab and how many blades they actually take a look at for testing. It seems like a serious place, though, unless all those "databases" fed by users...
Still seems unusual to me that different handles would be used on otherwise pretty much identical blades. But ok, could be.
