Hi,

I've been playing with the VKMO for around 2 months, and I like the blade.. The only downside is that it weighs 92gms, which is well over my tolerance limit ..

I'm looking for a blade, that has similar head-size, and playing characteristics as the VKMO, but significantly lighter - No more than 80gms...

About my style of playing :
I have a mixed style of play with LP - That is, I'll play close to the table, and block (passive), and I'll also move away from the table, and chop. With the inverted I block, top-spin and hit on the FH. I will also twiddle, push, block, flick, and hit with the inverted on the BH ..

Gionis' blade will never be the same as the rest of the mortals.Sorry.The label can read P. Korbel but the pros blades are customized.The rubbers are also customized and so are the sponges .

There might be some interesting Spinlord blades, but I cannot comment on any as to how they play.
Same for Dr Neubauer blades.

I've played with both, but its been a while and it I had another blade in between so my memory might be off. They are pretty similar I would say, Ended up not continuing with the defensive pro due to rough handle and didn't like the sound.
