Seems interesting, a new blade from Der Materialspezialist!

Do we know anything about it?

Slowest blade on earth, similar to tsp balsa 3.5 but without balsa (from dms description and Guido)

I see. How is the reversal and disruption when used with a flanti?

The blade is for fast Glanti like Super Glanti black or Super Glanti attack, I think even the new ESP might work on this blade.

From my experience, combination of a very slow blade with a very fast Glanti has more spin reversal than fast blade with slow glanti.

I didn't tested personally the Super control, but I think you should look for it if you're playing one of the glanti listed above. Otherwise you should not look for it.

The thing about the slow blade is, it will make your forehand attack and twiddle attack much less effective. I've had much more success with the fast blade/slow to medium speed glanti because of the better attacking possibilities. At least for myself, I've found that being able to attack with inverted and put pressure on players through aggressive pushing with the anti is more effective than pure speed reduction and maximizing reversal. This is why I am now using the ABS 3.

That is definitely one way of looking at it. Me personally, I like putting on pressure with pure spin (and spin-reversal), rather than speed. I know very well that spin alone is not everything is not always enough, but speed to be put into the shots are possible to be put by me, as I tend to play with relative quick and big movements (sometimes). I am planning on putting a fast flanti on a slow blade enough to put pressure on the opponent in order to either setup a forehand attack or even with a flanti attack. I value spin and control over speed. Or if it is too slow, I might switch to a quicker blade, but I believe the blade's soul must be controlled and then the body can be speedier.
