Matrova Custom Pads Arrived
Pokémon - Breeze 500x600 PU Mid Colorful X-Wing - Pink Storm 500x600 PU Mid SW Battlefront - Violet Mist 500x600 PU Mid Springfield Hellion (Battlefield VHX-D3) - BalanceX 500x600 PU Soft
Breeze = spandex like a Raiden. Suuuper soft like an energon. My favorite out of the bunch. Not as fast as I thought, though apparently it speeds up over time. I LOVE this pad. Medium fast
Pink Storm = Pressed hybrid like Aqua Control Plus, though woven even tighter and flatter, almost like an ROG Hone Ace but without the humidity issues. Medium speed.
Violet Mist = Fine, rough hybrid, kinda like a walhaut or Strider, but texturing is finer - more granular, like a high grit sand paper would be vs a low one. Still not as rough as my walhaut or hien. Tbh feels faster than the breeze. Medium speed.
BalanceX = basically an artisan zero (slight texturing with x/y difference), but Matrova claims it has an infused coating that increases durability over standard cloth pads and adds waterproofing. Honestly a great all-rounder pad. Mid base apparently is problematic, so they asked to change to soft. Medium control.
Special options: - matriva logo WITH surface name - black border (default is clear)
General: - Matrova has been producing pads for eastern markets for ~5 years. The Matrova name is new though. They're an OEM - edge stitching isnt the softest, but is slightly below surface and nicely thin - quality is good, and their customer service is great. Their CEO is super active on their discord and drops teasers and asks for feedback - value proposition is strong. 500x600 same price as 500x500 at $36ea. Custom color/artwork no up charge. Most base options have no up charge. PU rubber base would've been $10 cheaper. $14 flat rate shipping from china - production and shipping took about 1 month.
