Review of Animus Dallas

Animus Dallas c-pen blade review:
This blade perfect balance between power and control in every shot. It is an ALL blade and only weights 75g. I put a DMS Spinfire 2.0 mm rubber on my forehand and a Spectre 0.5 mm on my backhand side. It is very important to me for this blade to be light weight since I have a heavy forehand. The blade is easy to handle and twiddle during gameplay if necessary. The balance that it offers is wonderful since I do not have to adapt to it.
I am a proud owner of the first Animus c-pen blade called Dallas. I will treasure this blade forever. Please, keep making great blades for the table tennis fans all over the world. I wish you the very best.
UPDATE 16JUN23: I am using now Andro Blowfish short pips rubber and I like it eve more now. I have more spin variations and more dimmension in my game. The Animus Dallas blade is amazing. I ordered another one.

Review of Animus Defensio

I must say that I am the first owner of an Animus Defensio chinese penhold version. I had bought an Animus Dallas in the past and I was really impressed, however, I wanted to go slower in my game. Animus Defensio delivers an amazing control when defending from powerful loops and kills. It allows me to improve the placement of the ball when blocking and pushing. I am currently using Tibhar Dtecs 0.5mm long pips rubber which creates a lot of disruption and allows me to attack when necessary. Just a wonderful blade! Highly recommended.

Review of Animus Hercules (chinese Penhold Version)

This Hercules blade, the american version of the Diana, feels amazing and alive. It has a lot of ‘feel’ and it allows excellent blocks and flat hits. I put a Joola Ultra Express 2.0mm short pips rubber and the rubber works perfect for my game style. My blocks are more sharper, loops are faster and my flat hits are more deadly. If you need more speed get the Dallas, if you want to add more accuracy,control and feel, definetly get the Hercules.
UPDATE Jan25: I got a second Hercules blade as a back up. So far, it is an amazing blade. I have more control now of my flat kills and blocks. It has become my main weapon of choice.
