Maybe someone is looking for slower blade for improvements like I was searching for. If so you should check Allround blades like o Today I recieved new blade which is by word handmade in Germany, directly from Polish Andro distributor. Weighed in the shop and they said she's 73g. Björn official site(Andro.de) also sent me an email that clarify the weight difference of mine copy and that approx. ~85g from Catalogue is nothing more than "The difference in weight can be explained by two points: First one is that there is a normal tolerance between every single blade. Second one is that the production samples we received directly in the beginning were a little bit heavier than the following blades. As we fixed the weight for the catalogue following the samples from the first production, there is also a natural difference between the weight mentioned in the catalogues and the real weight" - Björn Helbing Export Department / Promotion Andro.de . Facing the woods.. Box quite normal nothing really much exciting just piece of a paperboard, however quite safe. Andddd... Woa! Very big handle! They told me ST is even bigger. Already it's larger than Viscaria one which I really like for the shape. Balance? Perfect, handle is quite heavy comparing to the head which is almost the same size as Viscaria (small difference on wings - ~1.5mm). Ligna ALL+ is also thickier than Viscaria and it's about 6.1mm. At the first sight it looks like a modern (plastic ready) allround blade. Quite stiff and decent finish but everything is perfectly equal.. roundnes ect. Blade sounds quite high in tune. After 20min with really fine sandpaper and it was ready to go. Gameplay: Overall feel. Feel is as good as in Nittaku Blades, it just has something. I had Acoustic, Latika and Latika Light and it's definetely good grade wood as those mentioned. Dwell time. I had soft-med and medium-hard rubber on it (Baracuda BS/Rasant Grip) on it. My gamemate is playing with TB ZLF+T05FX and in compare. Ligna has even better dwell time than this setup. I could feel ball which was on my blade for much longer time than in my Viscaria with the same rubbers. Throw. High due dwell time. Power. In speed I would say it's just.. all+. Really, just a bit faster than Grubba All+. Nothing spectacular. I think rubbers such as T64 may do the job to fix this issue. Anyway, it's hard to kill the ball IMO due softness of this blade. Spin potential. Great! Spin is tremendous even with soft-smooth movements like slow topspins. This blade has ability to change the spin direction with easiness. It gives a lot of confidence due to high control provided by really good gears from low to high-. Better than any composite blade I've tryed- arylate/zlf/alc. Weight. My Ligna weights 73g it's light and not head heavy with med-heavy rubbers I am using now. Photos. I will post more about after some use. |
