On paper, the Andro TP Ligna CI Off blade sounds like exactly what I'm looking for - an inner carbon blade with feel that will provide a nice transition up from my 5ply in speed.

But I can't find many reviews of it? Why is it so under the radar?

I've used Ci off since 2020 Feb. Before Ci off, I had a Donic Carbospeed, and felt too much vibrations...

I expected Ci off had a proper speed and control but not enough. BH and blocks are OK, FH isn't strong to get a point.
If you are all around player and prefer a short distance playing. It would be OK.

The Blade is not "OFF" but "All around".

Today, I have just finished to order a Yasaka Ebony Carbon has a good speed.

eeesshh... $140 for a blade that's deemed as allround....

Would be interested to know where this fits speed wise compared to Donic World Champion 89 blades: Persson OFF+, Waldner OFF and Appelgren ALL+

Apparently all made out of the same Soulspin factory using very old Italian Spruce with some type of carbon composite material layer for speed / bigger sweetspot.

I personally prefer the soft feel of hinoki however spruce is from the same family but ever slightly harder. Something I am looking to research more on if, in the future I seek to gain more reversal on anti close to the table.

This blade first piqued my interest due to the frictionless player Jamila Laurenti using this. She is U18 WR #8 and within the overall Women’s Top 200 at time of writing. Due to her young age wouldn’t be surprised to see her reaching Top 50 as she gains more experience.
