LOL - good point. I start to doubt my own existence these days. Edited my post to reflect the transient nature of the physical world.

I'm curious if anyone can identify what the 7 plies of the Black Edition are. I have not been able to track down the info. All I've been able to find is the short marketing blurb about it being the "little brother" of the Force Pro. Does that mean it is identical except for the handle color? Those that have hit with it seem to think it plays somewhat differently.

 I felt that way about Stratus Powerwood too.  I still prefer Butterfly ALC blades overall, but if I were to use all wood, that's what I wold use.

Thanks.

I tried this blade (87g FL) with MX-P on both sides.

Is this the blade Vladi is currently using? What about his rubbers?

Hello together, it took almost one month and a half but now I got my new Samsonov Force Pro conic. I'm looking forward to do the first test with the blade. I have already the ST grip at home and the feeling with the blade is good. I played with tenergy05 on it. First I have to seal the blade.

best regards, ttspirit

The storefront is standard webshop, you can probably order on this shop with chrome autotranslate very easily.

Hello ttspirit

There are clippers and clippers...Force pro felt much faster to me than the last 87gr 2011 new clipper I purchased. Also faster than 2005 CR/WRB 82gr. But slower than oversize WRB reduced to normal size.93gr. Speed looked the same to me than DHS PG7 92gr. In other words, force pro is the fastest light 7 ply clipper-like I've had.

yogi is one of my best buddies in this forum....  he led me to vega europe ... and i'm ever thankful to him for that time. 

its still a limba-ayous composition

why ...why on earth we get bogged by total weight of blade????? 

Very good blade ! One of the fastest 7 ply blades I've had. High throw, soft touch, medium stiff. Doesn't feel very solid. I suspect the handle to be hollow. Not sure thow. Excellent balance. I suppose Vladi found there something as fast as Mazunov with better handle and lighter weight.  Could only play 10mm before elbow pain came back. Not sure it is same construction as Joola Viva cause plies 3 and 5 very much look like balsa to me. Might be wrong there as well.
