Nexy Calix Reviews

Originally posted by AndySmith Originally posted by bluebucket How about lighter rubbers then, that will stop it flexing   Well, maybe that's worth a go.  I've just swapped IQUL for the tacky KTL Red Diamond, so that's quite a lot lighter already.  Got Shark2 on the other side.  Don't know if I can let that go.   Possible options then:   Donic Burn Carbotox Donic Burn Aratox RS Donic Ovtcharov Soft Carbon Xiom V1 (if I can find one) Approach Nexy

Andy,  is the Spartacus stiffer than the Calix is....but the Spartacus felt too soft because of the Hinoki outer ply compared to the Calix?

Andy have you ever tried a YEO?, it's not so good for looping but stiff enough for a blocking backhand and in the speed range you seem to enjoy (OFF). Myself I'd rather force myself to learn to loop both sides and use the flexible blade

You wont find many 5 ply's with that same kind of made of spring steel feel that a YEO has, it' too fast for me. It's notably lower throw than most blades also, so you need some rubbers that are high throwers

Originally posted by arg0 9-10-9 is a great blade, stiffer than Calix, but surely has no hard feel.

True, but I find H3 Neo on YEO is not that fast, unless I want it to be fast :).  The Combination of H3 NEO and YEO give the fectect throw IMO.

Originally posted by arg0 I don't want to be a nuisance, but this is supposed to be the "Official Calix Review Thread" and people will look for information about Calix here. Let's try to stay on topic.

Yes, you're right. It span a bit out of control. If I get anywhere with my search, I will start a new thread.

By the way, I should say that the Calix is a wonderful blade and probably unique. Don't want anyone to think that I'm knocking it in any way. Just wish I could get a slightly stiffer one, missus.

Dear friends,

Get one while supplies last!

$70 USD ???!!! Someone must have hit Prez Moon on hte head with a hammer and he is still seeing the birds fly around!

I checked out the English version of his site (Nexy.com) and NEXY is discounting Hexer HD, T64FX and Spartacus as well. I am not going to pay for Tenergy again, but Hexer HD has the hype. PP Rob would disagree and passionately say the hype is not just hype, but real. Myself, I am hooked on Aurus and at 43,000 won everyday price, or just under $40 USD, it is a good price. BTW, PP Rob is a grand-dad, congrats!

Calix vs Donic Waldner Ultra Senso carbon ?

I just received a Calix today and it definitely is one of my best experiences ever. Only 30min on the robot let me feel that immediate satisfaction from the very first balls. My conclusion is that the Calix is the blade for the people who like to loop and hit close to the table. I always was in love with the mj and it took a minute to tell myself the Calix was the mj for players who do not want to walk away, want to be fast and aggressive staying 3 feet from the end line. At some point i was counter driving at a very fast pace and my recovery was impeccable and natural. I have to say a fast Setup that weighs 175g total will help. It is rare to have such a light and thin blade be so solid and it was an enlightenment.
Disclaimer: i am back from an 8 months injury and I might be in the mood to like any blade but a couple weeks with other fine blades did not fire me up inside as the Calix did. One more word: I used 2x 2.0 lkt rapid speed both brand new and they are not that neutral. I can't wait to test it at the club with something like m2, calibra or ...or...
I have the feeling I could play my very best game with that blade dressing it up with Adidas p3/p5 or Cornilleau pilot advanced/power. The idea is to avoid giving stardom to the rubbers and favor balance between lightness, speed and spin for a fast allround game.
