Unboosted Calibra LT that i used on the TBS was simply the bomb of high gear counter-looping from mid distance. Nothing I ever tried approaches this quality. That is what initially attracted me to Calibra LT. I can manage the other shots OK enough with Calibra LT, but after a while, I realized that landing a few more shots on my other strokes has more value. Not all shots in a rally are counter looping shots in my sorry-azz level of div 2 city or Div 3 national. Therefore after I used Aurus on Fh a week, I knew I found my FH rubber to kick Tenergy to the curb. I have used it sucessfully over one year on Fh wing.
Even though my test hit with Tour was very brief, I was impressed. It had ALMOST Calibra power on counterloops, but it had feel and control on other shots.
If Nexy TAK9.com were to toss me a sheet of it to use for a tourney, I'd use it and not have to adjust too much. For now, I have plenty of Aurus left (even bought a couple more sheets) and and seeing how Evolution EL-X is working out on FH. So far, it is every bit as good as Aurus and sounds/feels a tick better. If I didn't (pretty sure I have though) mention it before, Nexy TAK9.com is the Korea distributor for Stiga, as well as Tibhar. MOST of my Jerseys are from Tibhar, but I have a couple Stiga kits I wear that look great.
I am mainly a Tibhar pimp, but I speak my mind. As many of Nexy blades I have tested and posted reviews, TBS has forever ben my main blade with right now a temporary spell of long term testing the M. Maze. I will likely use the Tibhar Inca or Nexy Arirang in the upcoming National Open tourneys in the next few months with reviews of course.
I think that internet forums are great for connecting and sharing data, opinions, experience, and teaching. Impossible to do on 1/10 this level a 10-20 years ago.
I think that many veteran TT forum posters know pretty well who is for real and who is pimping their sponsors a bit.
I think that there cannot be enough of reviews.
Reviewing a product is fun and it also causes the reviewer to actually think what is important and articulate that in an understandble and meaningful way special to us TT Warriors.
Drive on Dan, you good people and this is a good site. I post on many TT forums with this name and also BH-Man on some others. If your site was garbage, Many of us wouldn't be around here. Haggisv also has a great site too. There is a lot of quality in our TT world.
