It does look good indeed! I think he's a pretty skillful player of course.

Yes, He looks a skilled (der-material :) )spezialist. He formerly presented the Nightmare anti also to another video.
As I watched the Beast and the Nightmare videos, I have to say, I did not see much difference between them at first sight. Looks considerable reversal both of them and maybe the Beast looks a little bit slower, at least I would like to hope that :) but of course I do not know the thickness of sponges and the blade under the Nightmare.
Maybe worth a try later

Yes I am very interested in either one. I have played and posted the results of the new GD
soft Anti in both 1.0 and 1.5. theya re gripper anti's but slowly loose some of the friction. I did a test on one sheet by adding a small amount of armorguard leather cleaner. ( test only not for play) the spin reversal was.....deadly. I wonder how hard are these to get in the US.
I would like to as least try them to compare them with the GD antis
I used to play with anti for about 15 years then went to LP. I would like to test them and do some comparing.

Peace GIG

Is the armorguard leather cleaner made by ArmourAll for leather car interiors?

I think it was the sheet to use to apply the armorall, I'm pretty sure it was. and I did not use much at all. I am really interested in testing and getting both of the Anti's I have heard they are nothing more than treated GD guard??? is it availble in the US and if so where can I get some.. or do I have to make it my own???LOL

I have a sheet coming. It's supposed to be slower and better control than Nightmare.

It's only available in 1.2 in red right now. A slower 1.5 version is coming in April.

I've got one of the wee Beasties in red, 1.2mm. on order. Will let you know how it plays after a knock or two.

On TT-News there is a first review of the Beast. However, it concludes to the fact that the rubber is safe to play, has very good offensive capabilities but only decent spin retention, at least uncleaned, i.e., out of the box.

Thanks Slick! Did they say what blade they used it on?

With regard to the bh, yes: A Piet blade with two decoupled balsa cores and stiff cherry outer ply.

I wonder if the Der-Materialspezialist blades are any good? I tried D-M Nightmare with a lot of blades and ended up settling on Tibhar Stratus Power Defense. I guess I'll try this on one of those.
