Hi

I would accept £120 inc postage for the blade, or £190 with 2 D09c rubbers (used for 2 months) attached. DM me if you're interested or want some images/more info.

I bought a GHL5 earlier this year and it is an excellent blade, one of my regular playing partners who uses a Bty FZD salc tried it and was annoyingly good with it. However, coming from the 7 ply HL3 it was still a bit too immediate for me (outer carbon doesn't seem to suit my technique, and HL5...

Sorry about the picture quality.

Not got the blade with me at the moment, will post pic tomorrow.

Thanks Robin0910, that's great news.

Hi. I have recently bought a DHS W968 provincial blade (I hope so anyway. . .), it all looks authentic to me with the correct packaging, card etc. However, I have been surprised and a little concerned that the serial numbers I was expecting to be on the side of the handle are actually on the...

This all sounds very promising! I would love to try a W968 but can't justify spending that much yet. If I really click with the HL5 (or more likely the Golden) then it will be a consideration for the future. At the moment this is an experimental step up from my HL3, so I'll have to see how that...

Oops, pressed send when I was trying to insert a sentence. . . * . . . however, when I am in a loop to loop rally, or performing fast loops the feeling I get from the HL3 . . . I may well not be the most sensitive to feedback from a blade. Some 5 ply blades have felt stiff and hard to me...

Sorry, I can see how my previous post may have been a bit jumbled. You are right about the Acoustic - it has a delicacy of feel that neither the HL3 or ML7 can match. I was comparing the HL3 vs the ML7 in the short game; both good in my opinion. But not competitors with the Acoustic. I don't...

Really? I've never even considered asking for a specific thickness, just the weight. That certainly sounds like something I should ask about as it must affect the flexibility like you suggest. I had always assumed the thickness would be directly linked to the weight. As I know what weight I...

I have both the HL3 and the ML7, both of which are great blades with a good feel for short play. The HL3 has a bit more flex which I prefer. The biggest difference for me is the shape of the handle, the HL3 has a rounder profile which really seems to help me transition from fh to bh, and makes...

That's pretty much what I was hoping for. The very limited info that I found was a bit inconsistent - 1 suggested it felt like a mid-point between inner and outer carbon, which sounded more like the HL5X. My hope is that it's a refined version of HL5 with better quality control but the same...

HI. I'm considering either a HL5 or a HL5 golden slam, is there a significant difference in characteristics? Is it closer to the HL5X in stiffness, or is it more flexible like the HL5?
