BLutenkirsche Aurora Hexagonal

Actually available for 30 € by AliExpress !!! ... correct blade name: "Blütenkirsche AURORA Shield. This blade is absolutely amazing !!! - closer to the original as anything. After purchasing my second blade, I went to the next store, comparing it with the original STIGA. The 5 g. lighter Stiga, produced the same sound, had the same speed, but felt slightly softer by less control. - Insane !!! Over the years I've tested quite a few hexagonal blades under 60 Euro. (from AliExpress!) The "AURORA Shield" is the hardest, stiffest and fastest !!! ... only the Lemuria Cyber 6 and the Stuor Professional Long 5 have convinced me too. All the others are only recommended for beginners/those returning to the game or defenders. Facts: Both blades (with 85 g.) have a normal FL handle (like the Original!) and a good workmanship. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the alleged Arylathe-Carbon layer !!! ( - which normally shimmers blue.) There are also contradictory reports about the veneers used !!! It's possibly made of two outer layers of Ayous, with " ? - Carbon" underneath, and an Ayous or Paulownia core. - CAUTION: an oval "BL" metal lens on the handle might bother some players!!! I bought my blades for round 33 EURO from the "Erowsing Ping Pong World Store." My first test is a comparison (with ident. rubbers) with my Stuor Professional Long 5 Cyber. ... with Tibhar Aurus Sound (1.7 mm) and Andro Rasanter R 42 (2 mm). I'm currently playing this setup in competition against material players! ;-P RESULT: it's immediately noticeable that the Bl. A. Shield is significantly harder, stiffer and faster. The ball impact is much more direct and the ball trajectory a bit flatter. Conclusion: as always, I see it as a challenge, to find the right rubbers for this/any Cyberblade. In my experience, slightly slower and softer rubbers (than those normally used!!!) should always produce a reasonable result. - be sure! ;)

Very nice paired with Stiga Mantra S on bh and Dignics 05 on fh (instead previous owner’s Xiom Vega pro). Blocks are direct, spin is perfect, short game pleased me too. I didn’t try the original Stiga CS and don’t wanna test in at all, because I’m so satisfied with my 1st and 2d setups. First one is Lemuria VIS model also reviewed here. Anyway I must recommend GeralDINO replica-blades reviews, all of them have sense and are useful.

Great Cybershape blade.

Didn't test it yet, but has a frequency of 1313 Hz.
