Those are the data I collected while your English page was still online: uploads/20417/igsstern3-data.zip Some I got from the Korean forum, but it's hard to me to navigate the site, as text selection is disabled and automatic translation on the whole site was also not working. Feel free to add any data that is missing. These data are very valuable. Edit: adding a table with the above data, for convenience.

I will add data for many other blades. But, I feel the needs for modifying the names of parameters for better understanding.

ejmaster wrote: I trust Andy reviews about blades. The thing is that the result of 'i would like a 'spartcalix' is something that happens over and over again with Nexy blades. Why?. Because quality blade design does not allow to mix things in a so much innovative design. What do you expect of an Arirang? using hinoki outer in such a building with that thickness. For sure to miss something.

I think it's got more to do with my near-impossible requirements. Spart suits most of my game, but requires me to be more active than I'd like on the BH side. I know I can adjust, given time, but health issues are holding me back somewhat these days.

If I had a wish list, I'd like Arirang to be like Spart, but with a harder core for a bit more stability, or maybe a slightly harder feel overall (say, 15% harder). More gemstones would be nice too. :-) But that's just my pipedream - I won't know how different it is until I try it.

Nexy's approach is quite experimental. Sometimes artistic, rather than practical. I like this - good to have some genuine innovation in the marketplace, instead of rebadged Viscarias every year. But they won't suit everyone, and hopefully the information Nexy give themselves, and the reviews given on the forum, help others to make their own judgements about how they might fit their game, or not.

Seems awfully pessimistic to me, but there you go. I'm still keen to see how it plays.

And this is exactly close to a sc light. Quite powerful and more flexible than thick blades but what about the feeling gears?. The einstein chart.
The result is clear. Feel power but with that sense of mushy hinoki softness that usually brings some lack of feeling and directional precision.
With an important issue the chart does not provide data. The rubber match feeling with the hinoki. This is the 'nemesis factor'.

Dear clan members,
as a follow-up to my previous shoe giveaway, I am pleased to announce that I have one more pair of Nexy Petra shoes to give away for free to one Nexy Clan member, provided that he pays the shipping costs from Germany to his place.
As the previous pair, the shoes are kindly sponsored by Nexy.com.

These are the shoes: http://www.nexy.com/shop/step1.php?number=1311


Now comes the catch (same as last time): there is only one pair of shoes and I'm not telling you what size they are. If you're interested, post your shoe size (or the shoe size you'd like them to be) in this thread: the first clan member requesting the correct size will win the shoes.

Please specify EU shoe size. You may use this chart (or any other conversion means you trust more) for converting to EU size. You may specify half sizes.

Shipping is about €6 to Germany, €9 to many European countries, €16 to the rest of the world (check prices for "DHL Päckchen International" on http://www.portokalkulator.de. Sorry, in German only). Traceable shipping ("DHL Paket International ") is much more expensive: €17 for EU and €36 for the rest of the world. But depending on the destination country, it may not be necessary.

Current clan members can participate as of now.
If you're not yet a member, you can still participate by joining the clan (please specify what Nexy blade or rubber you play), but in order to give priority to current members, your post will only be counted 48h after you posted it. So hurry up and join the clan!

It makes sense to post your shoe size even if it was already posted by another member, in case he decides not to take them.

I will leave participation open until 5 July 2013, 12:00 GMT. If by then no clan member has guessed the right size, participation will be open to anyone.

Good luck!

PS Anyone having reported his first-hand impressions about Nexy equipment here, in any other official Nexy thread (blade review threads mentioned in the first post or "Nexy's Designer's diary") or anywhere else in the forum, is entitled to retroactive membership and does not suffer from the 48h quarantine (just provide a link to your previous post).

Bump for the contest.

Only one participant so far:
  1. weestenosis, size 44.

i have qabod, calix 2 and peter pan

I wear 8.5-9US that's 41-42eur. so 42???

size 43 for me arg0

About 6 hours to the end of the contest.

Hi all,
as promised, I'm announcing the winner of the Petra shoes.
Again, as always with shoes, it is a bit tricky to determine the exact size. These Petra shoes are marked size 270 on the box and Size 44 on the insole.
I wear street shoe size 42.5. My asics TT shoes are size 275=43.5 (I should have gotten them half a size smaller, actually).
These petra shoes are about as big as my Asics Shoes, if not a few mm bigger. So I'd say that they are about size 43.5, with 44 being probably closer than 43.

Therefore I'd give the first choice to weestenosis, who guessed size 44, please send me a PM.
If he doesn't want them, yogi_bear, who guessed size 43, comes second.
Thanks to all participants.

Hello fellow Nexy people!

Receive the package from argo regarding this pair of shoes... Thank argo...

If you're based in Europe and would like to test any of my Nexy blades, send me a PM.

I can currently offer for testing:
- Lissom FL
- Calix II FL
- Amazon ST
- Peterpan ST
- Inca ST

Testers need to have a sound history of posting in this forum or somebody who can vouch for them. I can pay shipping costs to tester, tester ships it back or on to the next tester. Shipping only by registered/traceable mail.

EDIT: I've decided to run the testing in a separate thread.

These are the requests I got so far.

Tibhar Inca
EU:
- Peter C (UK)
- Magic_M (DE)
- mg (LU)
- ttping85 (FR)
USA:
- JimT

Nexy Calix II
- mg (LU)
- mpengyou5 (FR)

Nexy Lissom
- 109eh

I'm going to collect requests for some more time (the Inca is still with my coach, anyway), and will then try to optimise the itinerary of all blades.

Edit: this testing is limted to Europe, at least for now. If you live elsewhere, you can still sign up, but I'll run the European leg first and then decide according to the requests.
