Hi Guys,

what do you say about switching to balsa blade for a medium pips(K.O) player with an aggressive forhand(bluestorm Z2)?

specifically the new "donic balsa carbo fleece"?

Have a great day

This is more of a hybrid blade with balsa used to keep the weight down inside layers of wood and carbon. The reduced balsa effect and harder feel should work well with a soft sponge medium pip like KO if you can handle an off+ blade. I briefly used a TSP balsa carbon that that felt much better with MP than my standard TSP balsa blades which can be a bit too soft and bouncy in the short game unless using very thin sponge.
