Carbospeed also plays softer than Amultart. But maybe the Sardius is closer because the Amultart has zylon which gives it a very specific feel compared to other hinoki-carbon blades.

Ah, yes good point. I've never used a Sardius - difficult to get them now. Reading the reviews, it looks to be heavier (on average) and faster, but the regular carbon is going to be closer in feel than the Amultart's ZLC.

This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated.

Are you asking for the Waldner or the Ovtcharov blade?

I am asking about the new waldner blade.
I am currently using the donic carbotox and would like to know how it compares to the new waldner blade if anybody has had the two blades. From what i have read about the difference between the waldner legend and the new ovtcharov is the centre ply is slightly thicker on the ovtcharov not 100% sure though. |

I'm going the other way - hope to get a Carbospeed soon.

Hokay, so I got a Carbospeed today. Comparing the plies to the Legend, the core is a lot thicker, but the hinoki outers look thinner to me. So the overall thickness is a little bigger, but not as much as I was expecting.
Short robot session gives me the impression that the Carbospeed feels more solid on punch shots, has no vibration (Legend has a bit), very little flex (if any), harder overall feel. Using M3 and comparing back-to-back, I could get a bigger arc on FH loops with the Legend, but hitting flat and driving on the BH was more consistent with the Carbospeed. Ideally, I want to chop these blades in half and glue then together to get the best of both worlds, but in the absence of that I'll use a couple of training sessions to see what fits best. My instinct tells me to go with the Carbospeed and tone down my FH a bit, but I will miss the Legend's crazy FH looping... |

Andy what is the weight of your Carbospeed?? When you refer to toning down the forehand do you mean something slower than M3, assuming that you are using M3 on your forehand.

I also have a Carbospeed on order and was thinking of the M3 for forehand.

It's 87g. The M3 is excellent on the forehand. When I mentioned calming it down, I just meant slowing myself down a bit. Fewer wild swings. Can't see myself changing from M3 on the forehand for a while.

+1 M3 is a great FH rubber. Sounds like the Waldner Legend is quite the blade, pity they don't make it with a real handle.

Thanks for letting me know andysith, will order a sheet of M3 for forehand. What are you using for backhand? Also how would you describe the throw of the carbo speed in comparison to the legend? Lower??

I really, really wanted to use M3 on the BH as well, but I just couldn't get it to work for me. So I'm deciding between Acuda S3 and Sigma Europe.
Yeah, Carbospeed is slightly lower throw than Legend. |

Donic waldner legend carbon + Bluefire m1 max both sides would be head heavy ???
Or is it a balanced setup with a little bit weight towards the head. What are your thoughts . . . |

The legend does have a larger than average head size, and M1 is heavy, so I think this would be a bit head heavy, yes. That might suit you though, it's down to personal preferences. |
