Nice to meet you turbozed,
Glad to see you are interested in our all-wood blade.
The blue handle
Fextra 7, is a special design model we made a few for a distributor. Both blue handle
Fextra 7 and common type, we don't produce anymore.
We have replaced them with
Fextra One. 🤔
The
Echo and
Parla blades are a completely different series with different features than the Fextra series.😁
As for the difference between them, I have said in detail in a post.
Firstly, the material of the three blades is different:
V5 Pro 👉 Ash wood- Ayous- Basswood- Kiri core
Fextra One👉 Limba- limba- Ayous- Ayous core
Parla👉 Limba- Ayous- Ayous-Ayous core
Secondly, V5 Pro is designed for quick-attack, you could see that the outermost two layers of material are stiff and provide perfect elasticity and first speed.
The third layer and the big core provide lightweight for the blade.
Fextra One and Parla are designed for looping, the difference between them is structure. Fextra One is an equal-thickness structure, which pays more attention to the stability of the looping and the ball holding.
Parla is a different thickness structure, it focuses more on being more aggressive while hitting the looping.
