My recent flirts with some 5 ply all wood blades:
• Andro Nova Cell Off/S • fast, spinny and flexible with some vibrations
• Foco OFF+ • fast, crisp, steady
• Xiom Off S • maybe not as fast as the above ones, nice feel, crisp(new for me)
• Nimatsu Maestro Off • enormous sweet spot , very fast&stiff. Weired shape
• Latika Off • did not impress at all
...and last but nor least
•Sanwei HC 1S• Hinoki ALC, impeccable performance in all departments. Really impressed
Coming from a 10 years old marriage with Hallmark Carbon Extreme and probably not over.
•Rubbers• too many to mention
