Temper Tech Off+ - can't go wrong.
Viscaria FL - 91g
+ Neo H3 2.15 Blk - 44.5g(55.3g uncut bare)
+ Hexer HD 2.1 Red - 49.3g(68.5g 〃 〃)
= 184.8g

Temper Tech OFF+ is close to 7mm but the feel is good for such a thick blade.

I prefer Andro CS7 Tour. It's a copy of BTY SK7.

It is not that thick once you hold it in the hand. I've tried a club member's Rosewood NCT VII. Roughly the same thickness, but does not really feel that thick. I've played a Komann Cpen carbon blade thick like a thin Jpen and man that thing felt so good in the short game with TSP Triple Spin 2.0 and Spinpips 1.8 if memory serves me right.

Looks good but how is it for very fast backhand loops?

Can you please explain/expand on why the Andro blades quality sucks ?
This explains why their prices are so affordable.

Anyone know where Andro blades are made in ?  China ?

BTW, I'm testing the above mentioned blade with Andro Hexer HD 2.1 on fh and Xiom Sigma 1 Euro 2.0 on bh.

Andro, as a lot of ttsuppliers, doesn't make the blades, I supose.

Tha quality of them is what you ask for. Medium quality medium cost...

Tha blade I'm talking about is not cheap... Quality is very good in that case.

HK-based Sunflex TT factory favours the same ugly shape.

The best Andro blade so far (I have tried about 20) is Treiber G, on pair with TBS, IMHO, but much cheaper.

BTW, it is not quite clear what this G stands for, Glassfiber mixed with flexible Carbon?

The tree is Triplochiton scleroxylon, also known as abachi, obeche (Nigeria), wawa (Ghana), ayous (Cameroon) and samba (Ivory Cost).

The CS7 is also good, better than Clipper

There are many favourites because there are many answers to your question (plus the fact that the question changed a few times during this thread Embarrassed )

The blade best for you depends on your style, your level and the rubbers you use. In addition any one blade will be good for some shots, and not so good for others... there's always compromises with any blade.
