I did play with the blade for the first time today. It works very well on FH, my BH has fallen apart though :/ I get a superior feeling. I think I will get there.

Ordered a blade from Sergio at SDC Homemade Blades (#1159 - Outer VC - ALL+/OFF-)

Can't wait to get it and glue my Double Fish Volant Phoenix 1 (39 degrees) and Yinhe Moon Mid-Hard on it

It looks amazing and Sergio did such a great job.

Did a bit of cheeky retail therapy I'm curious to see how comparable the swat PW spin is to glayzer and also compare tackiness between xegna and 48

What was the lead time on the blade?

What do you mean by 'lead time' ?

Got myself a brand new Goriki Super Drive 93g from TT11. It was on sale, couldn’t reseist.
As I played it years ago and sold it (I still regret it) I had to buy it again.

I am two clicks away from buying it. Can you share some impressions and comparisons with other blades?

Craftmanship is exceptional. The grip is a bit thicker than standard Nittaku grip (at least it does not fell very small). The head size is unusual big, but this results in a super controlled feeling. And yeah, you can spin with it like crazy an get superb shots out o fit. The feeling is a bit like hinoki feeling (like Darker 7P-2A or Septear) but also different due to the walnut plys. So I don't know, it's hard to describe. You can't compare it to Viscera or other blades. It's so different but in a positive way.
Yet you have to consider the higher weight so it will be definitely head heavy.

Ahh ok, I thought it was way longer!

I have finally accepted my current skill level and got Glayzer for FH and Rozena for BH. Now I have to decide if it goes on Innerforce or Outerforce (or something else)

Here is your level.

Now we are even

Rozena and Glayzer have a higher ceiling than most people give them credit for in my opinion.

I think you'll find them nice on an outer carbon if you have already played carbon before. Glayzer is fairly forgiving but is also fairly hard, so I think it can feel hard to generate quality on a softer blade.

Just my 2c

It's a bit of a change in philosophy on my end. Rubbers with a high ceiling are nice and all, but those usually also have higher entry levels.
As much as I love the feeling of Tenergy, but also Hurricane, they require a higher base level than I can consistently bring to the table (pun intended). I guess it's better to hit a ceiling every now and then while having a much better window for the rest of the time.
Last season's Innerforce/Fastarc G-1/C-1 combination was a step in the right direction, I'm taking one more now (I hope) and putting it on Outerforce ALC because it just feels like a good, predictable blade.

I just purchased one more DHS hurricane long 5H at Aliexpress. It doesn't feel like a HL5, but instead more of a feeling a Harimoto super alc/zlc/ZJK szlc. The forehand is pretty decent and backhand good too. If you don't like the forehand of BTY zlc/salc or the backhand of HL5, HL5H compromises and has decent performance on both sides.

Even if we are at a decent level there is still a benefit to the humility of under batting. You at least get to do the thnigs you are capable of doing. Over batting is the most wasteful way to lose.

A couple of rubbers I've had in my "might as well try" list for a little while. I liked the original Big Dipper but I've been wary of BDV because I've heard it's not as spinny as the original, and I loved the spin quality on the OG. But it was on sale and going on a backup blade anyway, so why not? The Target Euro Soft will go on the backhand of something, but I haven't decided if it's going on my inner carbon (might be too slow) or outer carbon (might be too soft).

One thing that stood out immediately: this BDV has a pale orange sponge, whereas the original BDs I bought had a blue sponge. Those were marked as DPRK national team rubbers (though they weren't priced any differently) and this one isn't, so I'm curious to see how different this feels, and if there's a BS version out there.

You are not afraid to buy blade like this from Aliexpress?

Not at all. You can always return it if you find out that it is not authentic. But usually the price of the item indicates it is original or not.
