It looks really great! I wonder why they don't finish the edges of the blade and the end of the handle at the factory?
Also I wonder how soft the walnut used by Nittaku is, because the walnut we use for the surface, is more similar to koto in terms of its technical and playing characteristics.

The edges are bad sight, especially at that price.

Have Goriki Danshi, which has less porous surface and is more resistant to nail pressure. Dr. N Matador Titan and Matador Texa Carbon are even harder. It seems like the walnut is pressed or/and threaded with chemicals. I can't leave a dent with the same amount of pressure. Bouncing the ball is sharper, more like bouncing on a glass.

IMO, Nittaku purposely uses the mushy walnut to reduce the weight or have more dwell. But let other owners of Goriki Super Drive to confirm that.

I got metric ton of these rubber protectors. They are really nice. They gave me two for each blade and one for each rubber. The Liang jingkun is especially nice.

Couldn't help myself since it was 40% off

My second SDC blade from Sergio A defensive blade, wondered how this combination of wood would go for traditional defense type of play and Sergio said it would work

spruce–pear–willow–pear–spruce

According to Sergio :

94.8g - 5.1mm - 1012Hz - Balance: 2.9cm (Low/Med)

I bought a stack of 6 Mercury 2 rubbers - just don't really know what to put them on yet. I want to make a reliable, high control setup with probably a 7ply blade. Or my Ma Lin Carbon. TBD.

w968 gold slam vs commercial Long 5 gold slam

You can see the Ma Long photo is of worse quality on commercial (lol) and the wood is definitely different.

Ohh, I can smell them from here 🐟

I built a defensive setup for a friend with M2 Medium on the FH side of a Donic Defplay Senso v3 and was shocked how good it felt. The veneer combination makes the blade more allround than DEF. The larger head size and balance mean I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for a full double-inverted setup but maybe something similarly flexy. I also have friends that play M2 on Yasaka Sweden Extra (which also has anegre outer) but I found it just OK there; I think the extra flex of the DSv3 is what made the rubber feel more lively.
