Nexy Eiger review.
I want to write a review of this blade because there is little information in the west about this blade.
The blade is of excellent workmanship similar to xiom. the handle is comfortable to hold.
The thickness of the blade is about 6.6mm.
The composition is 7 layers with a special feature a thick hinoki outer layer and a white alc under it.
This blade is very special because a new technology has been used by nexy to glue the different layers together. They no longer use a classic glue, but use a polyurethane glue. This should improve the characteristics of the wood.
As soon as I took it out of its packaging, I noticed that the blade had a slight odour reminiscent of the old speedglue. Perhaps it is due to this new glue used. Once the rubbers were glued on and a few days passed, the smell almost disappeared completely.
I tried this Blade with a hurricane 3 neo blue provincial and on the backhand a rozena.
usually my main set up is zhang jike alc with hurricane 3 neo blue provincial and dignics09c.
Nexy Eiger is faster than zhang jike alc and has a more direct trajectory.
I tried it for the first time against a defender and the blade allowed for devastating third balls even on a backspin ball.
In the past I used a xiom zetro quad for a while. The nexy eiger is similar in speed but feels less stiff and offers more control.
Despite the high speed it is not as bad on passive shots as the block. This I think is due to the thick hinoki layer that allows a soft touch on slow balls. I did not have any difficulty in the block and in fact I think it perhaps offers more control than the zhang jike alc.
When it comes to looping, however, I found myself going off the table because of the very direct trajectory.
The spin is very good slightly less than zhang jike alc but still very high. On serves the hinoki layer helps to keep the ball short.
It's a two speed gear blade if you hit softly the hinoki layer helps with control but if you hit hard the alc layer takes over and gives great speed.
In conclusion if you like a blade with a touch of hinoki, very fast but with good control this is the one for you.
