That's often a matter of personal choice, as the many threads about sealing show. Personally, I always seal blades very lightly before using them, especially if the top layer is thin, and I think that all who use water-based glue should do. There's one blade for which I know for sure: Nexy advised me to seal Calix before using it. |

Hi all,
van_doorn has a great offer: he's giving away his Nexy Amazon in exchange for shipping costs and writing a review. First come, first served. Offer only lasts two days, after that he's going to keep it. It's a great blade. I'd take it if I didn't already have one. |

It seems I will be getting a couple of Nexy blades for review pretty soon - Calix and Tuvalu. Will add them to the table of course when the time comes.

Signed you up!
How would you compare Spartacus and your current V-14 to Calix II? |

I just picked up the Calix II from a forum member in a trade, so I haven't tried it yet. Compared to the V-14 the spartacus has a softer feel and more flexible than the V-14. The V-14 is a hair faster. I'm a bit of a blade collector so I have lots of blades I havn't tried, but plan to in the future. I actually havn't played much with any of my Nexy Blades. But, the Lissom with Bluefire M2 on both sides is a spin machine! Looking forward to the Calix II, it's a beautiful blade! |

Lissom is indeed a spin machine. That's why I still favour it over faster but stiffer blades.
If you like fast blades, Calix II is a good upgrade from Lissom: faster when hitting hard (OFF-/OFF speed, while Lissom is ALL+/OFF-), but still plenty of dwell time for creating spin, and a bit stiffer than Calix, who was a bit too thin for my taste. You should try Calix II ! BTW, in case Calix II is still too slow, then Qabod is the way to go. :-) |

BTW, I just posted my coach's opinion about Lissom in the Lissom review thread.
If you are a developing player looking for an OFF- blade, look no further. |

I decided to give my borko a break and try Calix 2. Ordered it yesterday with Tenergy 05 and Calibra LT. I'm looking forward to trying it.

Arirang looks pretty fancy. Nice!
Hinoki on top of aramid carbon...looks like it's a pretty stiff blade?

Burnt Kiri in the middle of the Arirang. Burnt Ayous in the Peter pan.
Hinoki-Aramid-Ayous-burnt Kiri and Ash-Ayous-burnt Ayous , could be wrong, probably not though. Both should have the potential to play well. It will be interesting to see if burning the Kiri produces a better feel than Kiri normally has (dead)

@Nexy, when will the Arirang be available?,
By the way, what's the reason for choosing aramid carbon instead of zylon? With the well known ZLx blades from BTY and the new Xiom Hayabusa blades with zylon, it would be understandable you would consider using zylon. Edited by p1ngp0ng3r - 03/02/2013 at 5:41am |

Sorry for my interruption. I think it would be better to reply from my own perspective, than toss my information through "nexy.com". This is OSCAR, and the designer of nexy blades. Regarding your inquiry, I can simply put this way. There are several brands who wants to upgrade their price and image by releasing new materials. As for me, and as for NEXY, I tend to focus on making good blades, and don't care much about new materials. NEXY wants to be unique, and NEXY will not follow other brands, by adopting currenlty popular materials. People might think NEXY is little bit behind, but that's not true, because NEXY always finds something new where other brands did not see yet. I'd rather say that NEXY is searching something further beyond, where other brands did not study enough. NEXY can use those new materials, when NEXY is sure that nexy can release something very different and new from those other brands' blades. So, it will take some time more that other brands do, if such a case really happen. There are many Chinese brands who just adopt the same surface wood STIGA is making, or just adopting new artificial materials what Butterfly newly uses. But that will not happen with NEXY. NEXY's strong points relys on studying, not copying. Therefore, NEXY will adopt any new material when nexy is fully prepared to create something very different and new. Please, understand this point. By the way, aramid carbon, arylate carbon, ZLC, UD carbon... all those materials are not much different in their basic functions. And we do know what makes different among them. So, NEXY will carefully check all those materials, with all new productions. But the answer will not be about following what other brands are using. Sooner or later, you will know why nexy choose what material. Nexy always pay more attention to be uqniue, than to be competitive. And that never fails to make NEXY competitive also. |

I will share more about those new blades with my diary thread. Just wait a little more. It will come several months later, and I want to keep my pace with releasing informations. First, I will release PeterPan, so I will share more information about it, and INCA will come out later, then Arirang will come at the end. So, the official information of Arirang will come maybe later than other two blades. By the way, I will give some small informations about Arirang. Inca and Arirang are sharing very similiar features. But Arirang has deeper touch than Inca. Inca is 5 ply blade with two aramid carbon layers, but Arirang has one more layer between Hinoki surface and aramid carbon layer. Arirang is a song name of Korean old folk song. It has deep sorrow in the lyrics, and the composition of the blade symbolize the meaning of the lyrics, by limiting the impact touch of the ball deeper inside. When I design a blade, I carefully decide on what depth I will put the touch of the impact. And regarding Arirang, I intentionally located it deeper than any other Nexy's blades, because that's what Arirang has in itself. So, the feeling is oppressed, not to be prominant. The song is saying that... I will let you leave me, and wish a farewell, if you want to leave me. But on the way to somewhere from me, while you walk on mountain valleys, you will get hurt on your legs. So, this song is showing a lady who is weeping at the news of her lover's leaving her, and she only wishes good luck to him, but insdie her deeply hurt mind, she is praying that he might fall and get hurt on his legs. This may seem humorous for other country people's eyes, but from Korean people, we can feel the deep bitterness from one woman, who can not do anything but wishing this bad luck, when her love tells that he would leave her. And the sorrow, based on frustration, should be the one character I need to show with ARIRANG blade. I wish you would love this feature. Thank you. |

Hmmm. I wonder what the layer is between the hinoki and aramid in the Arirang? Can't see much in the pictures above. As ever, nexy design is thrilling and fascinating in equal measure. Bring on the next wave!
Going to be reunited with a Spartacus soon. Should never have sold my first one. Most fun I ever had in a blade. |

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

I wanted to spend some time with an all wood blade. I took it a bit far by selling every one of my carbon blades. The only one I miss is the Spart, so very happy to pick another up.

That's interesting: in what respect is Spartacus better than the other carbon blades you do not miss? Any other Nexy carbon blades among those? |

A combination of factors really. Hinoki top, light weight, great sound with soft rubbers (crrrrrrrrack!), not too fast but with great sweet spot and medium throw. On reflection, these are the qualities I've been looking for over the past few months. Got back into carbon, but struggling for the best fit. In terms of Nexy blades, I have Calix 2 and Qabod here, with Spart and Oscar (hopefully!) on the way. Qabod is too fast for me, TBH. Calix 2 is a great weapon, it's almost surgical. But it doesn't feel "alive" to me, like I remember the Spart. Calix 2 is a fantastic go-to blade, but I remember Spart having a special feeling with my over-the-table shots which I now miss. I'm basically going through the hinoki carbon options at the moment. Spart, Oscar, Regundo, custom BBC are on the list. |

AndySmith,
thanks for the detailed analysis. I also just received an Oscar, which I plan to compare with Calix II, although I always struggled to play my game with composite blades. I already compared Qabod to Calix II, and Qabod was to fast for me. Now, Oscar has that fresh smell of Kiso Hinoki that I love, however, from a quick bounce test, it seems stiffer than Calix II. Well, guess I'll figure out when I test them. |
