Can you advise me on the composition of the blade, or the thickness of the blade?
Thank you.

Does anyone know this blade please?

You mean as in this thread below ?

Anyway thanks for the kind words.
Obviously you have a far superior understanding of the history & evolution of the sport regarding blade designs. It also seems you also have you have lot lot lot lot lot more playing experience than me as a chopper as well

No of course I have far less experience and yes I exactly meant that kind of pizza pole. I used to like the sport with old rules like you did, but I mean this crusade you make in every post is pointless and not beneficial in any way. I know the sport could be far more spectacular than what we have today, but I doubt playing with a pizza pole or weird rubbers is the way to go. You don't need a lot of playing experience to figure out that there's no sport, military encounter, etc. where a defensive strategy is a long term winning strategy. It's not matter of equipment.

Surry I don't think you remotely understand why a chopper needs a super large blade for the 40+ plastic ball ONLY era. Even the currently available uselsss defensive blades from 38 ball era are large size but not the super large needed for 40+ plastic ball ONLY era)

Probably I have enough clues to understand that. However what I'm telling you is that even with ITTF approved Ikea frying pans a defensive approach would be loser.

You'll never know, because Butterfly never makes that information public. Thickness should be about 5.6/5.9mm.

 

[Trevize84]

The currently available blades & ITTF LARC social rubbers are pure garbage to be useful in the 40+ plastic ball ONLY era

Look could you tell me in the 38mm era how many DEF players and how many OFF players won the world title? Because if DEF are minority that is sort of a proof that DEF style is loser. But please do the counting in another thread. Our friend wanted some tech specs of a blade in this one here.
