Item details

Avalox AVX Ruiba Bloodwood Carbon. The first Swedish-made Avalox carbon blade. With 5 wood plies and two carbon plies, it features a relatively standard configuration, but the significant difference from other carbon blades lies in the choice of wood and the thickness of each layer. The outer plies are extremely thin, as are the carbon layers, while the soft wood center ply is a little thicker. This gives the blade outstanding touch and even a little flex, while providing the speed expected from a carbon blade. Our tests indicate that this blade will shine with the plastic ball.

Pros
  • Speed
  • not so flexy
Cons
  • muted feel
I have tried this blade several times from my partner and he is using Rasant Grip on both sides. The blade's surface has a smooth finish and the handle smells like a weird glue and your hands will too after playing with it. The handle also needed to be sanded as it was too thick on some parts of it. This blade is pretty darn fast, even faster than an Andro Kinetic Explorer OFF+ which is also quite fast. This blade is also quite stiff which is good and means you can also use softer rubbers if you like. Blocking is a breeze due to the hard surface. The looping is easy but overall, they are more on the speed side than on the spin one. Flat hits are really easy and have more than enough power to win the point. However, the blade doesn't have a very good feel or feedback which I find common in these very fast carbon blades. This blade would be great for players who want to hit hard and like a stiff blade and don't care that much about spin.
