Looks like sponges are going to get harder and harder until they collapse under their own gravity and form black holes.

Any Idea What that Will be?

Heard from a guy, 2 months ago, working at Stiga that they are working on a new Fan Zhendong blade (Like Xu Xins dynasty), might be their 75th anniversary product?

Wow Fextra all around. I assume it is 5 ply??

Will he actually use it though I wonder? Would be a big boon for Stiga if he actually did and they could compete in the composite blade era.

 

[yogi_bear]

Wow the Centric is innnerforce type? That is interesting. It might feel like an all wood type of feel since the blades with textreme as 2nd layer already feels woody.

 

[Halon X]

wow hoping they will release carbon inner Arctic Wood blade someday

Tibhar Hybrid K1J - https://tt-japan.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=4311

Donic Bluegrip R1
Donic Bluegrip V1

Donic Extension GC
Donic Dotec Impulse
Donic New Impulse 6.5
Donic New Impulse 7.0
Donic New Impulse 7.5

Donic ones are from their homepage - https://www.donic.com/donic/

Blade constructions are interesting. Bluegrip has a tacky topsheet, so looks like Donic are getting on board the Hybrid train. Choo choo.

Bluegrip has a tacky topsheet, so looks like Donic are getting on board the Hybrid train.

In their German product description claiming that Bluegrip rubbers are "the first" to feature a tacky topsheet and a speed glue effect sponge. But if they mean "from Donic" then it´s no lie

 

[Suga D]

Wasn't the Donic Traction III already some sort of hybrid?

 

[Airoc]

Wasn't the Donic Traction III already some sort of hybrid?

I don´t think so, but I am not totally sure. From what I´ve read about it, it was a rubber Made In China adjusted to the European playing style. In the end, probably some Palio or whatever with a softer sponge (see Tibhar Grip-S which was Haifu).

 

[rahulraj]

Hmm the trend in ESN rubbers continues to go with harder sponge.

Tibhar Hybrid K1J - https://tt-japan.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=4311

Looks like the Tibhar Hybrid K1J is harder than the Euro version at 52.5 degree and has a cream coloured sponge http://www.sanei-net.co.jp/brand/tibhar/product.html#k1j

 

[yogi_bear]

I was told that Centric will only be release in Japan and Japan as of the moment.
