Nexy Lissom reviews

They told me this will be good for defenders. And I'm thinking that Lissom would be also nice for defenders.

He loves it. He likes its speed. Not too fast and not too slow.

Thank you for the reply, Peter79.

Pictures also up.

I bought a Lissom from Nexy recently and find that this a very good blade:  good control and still a crisp and hard feel. Also  very strong spin and sufficient  power on hard shots a least for my playing level (should be above 1600 US now).

Has some strange vibrations, but this does not disturb the playing experience a lot.

I played it today the second time with T05 and Barracuda  and was immediately able to beat a player I always lost to before.

Nice thing is that the Lissom  still can play hard enough put away shots while having a better control than faster blades. 

I also gave it to an EJ colleague and he was very impressed too.

As people said before, you have to make more active shots. Pure passive blocks are better with Carbon blades. Also, Lissom needs more powerful play than some of the slick arylate or carbon blades and might still be to slow for Powerplay a la Schlager.

Congratulations to Nexy for creating a really impressive blade with a unique character!

I've been playing with 2mm Calibra LT on the Lissom over the last two weeks and it's a set up that I'm liking, the more I play with it. The only caveat is after using Tenergy 64 and 05 on the Lissom prior to Calibra LT, I have to remind myself that a passive block tends to dump the ball in the net; so a punch block or a short wristy shot is needed instead; to give the ball enough momentum to clear the net.

...& tonight will be my first hit with it.

Hi, could you please comment on this? why do you feel that quality control of NEXY is not OK?
And why do you use so many font sizes?

I've enjoyed both the NEXY Blades (I've played & own) immediately e. seems to produce (design) a very solid product e1. are they "unique"? I really don't know. f. are his offerings in step with the other major Manufacturers as regards Quality/usefulness to Price ratio? I do not know. I think the NEXY Lissom is another FINE blade! I will add, I was enjoying it a great deal & didn't even take my Spear out of its case. I wish I could play again tonight but have a greater obligation & pleasure. I will be  playing with it a great deal again & look forward to it. I am very glad I was able to acquire one at the price that I did. It has/gives considerably more "feedback" than the Spear. It did not feel overly "stiff" by any means. It barely felt "stiff" at all. I think it might pair well with the short pips on my bh. In short; I was digging it. I see myself using my two NEXY blades for a considerable time though can see myself also considering his proposed budget offering.   * I would not have purchased this blade from NEXY.com at 130. US

To my sorry, I can not understand what you really mean.

Hey rawrtje, You don't come across as a fanboi at all; that & your "honesty" & your refraining yourself from fully embracing the Spear (a blade which I really really like to this moment) makes it perfectly clear;  you are a mostly neutral observer/user.

I think your point regarding pricing is well put & valid too. No price is too great if it delivers, or rather, allows us to do what we hope to do with it!
I should add, were any fellow enthusiast to query me I would reply, speedily, I love both my
NEXY blades.
BOTH (I already suspect, at this early stage, I'll enjoy the Lissom even more than the Spear!) my
NEXY blades are fantastic tools for me.
My response: "YES, you should try one!"                     

I do not think the Spear is overpriced.
I did, just recently, have to make a small repair to the top ply of my Spear.
The top ply "peeled" while I was carefully removing a rubber.
Both the larger Lenses in both blades are sloppy.
I say if you do a lens of this type & plan on charging 60.00 (or greater) the lens should be flush...
cleanly flush & at both ends.
The metal handle insert in the Lissom is also poorly done.
One side is set noticeably deeper than the other & it may be off center.
My last inexpensive Galaxy/Yinhe had a nicer insert.

XIOM Lenses are executed much better... at least all the ones I've come across.
Darker lenses are also much, much cleaner.
I know these are just cosmetic things & they don't effect play ~however~ they are part of the buying & owning experience.
To some it will matter little.
To some, not at all.
To some it will matter.
I'd go so far as to say part of the reason Butterfly is Butterfly is precisely because of their very high
cosmetic standards... I think.

Now I'll address Mr Moons questions.

oh, & I will (~if~ I am able at the time) try your budget offering that you plan to introduce

Good Day Sir & Be Well

harld, that might be a conflict.

You think.

(I think he was mostly joking.. mostly)

some anecdotal evidence regarding appearance/s

has anyone tried Nexy blades with YinHe V1?
