Spinniest but fastest all-wood blade that you've tried.

MOG forgot to include that dense wood is a second-hand emojicon...

Who needs an all wood when an all wood can be broken? [emoji445]

Was that a line from the popular Tina Turner song from the 80's?

What does the density of wood have to do with it?
Have to do with it?
What is the density of wood but a blade makers promotion?

Video please I’m not Carl. I just like watching MV.

Ha ha, this is what TTD is really all about!

Funny, I can one up that.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
And the wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.

Density has nothing to do with it. The fastest paddle I have tried is a Joola R*1.
https://revspin.net/blade/joola-r1.html
Notice the speed ratings and the comments.
It is made of thick balsa wood, 12mm. Balsa wood is not very dense which is why it is used to make model airplanes. I tried it for about 5 minutes then gave it back to its owner. It was too fast for me.
I doubt the owner ever used it in a real match. It seemed to be more like a novelty item.

Note, not all balsa wood is springy like in that in the R*1

I came here because I am wondering too regarding the spinniest set up and blade.


I know everything depends on the techniques and skills. But I know, everyone here can determine if this blade or that blade is spinnier than this or that.


Even if ma long, we let him use 10 different blade with same rubbers, and gauge the spin per seconds, or rpm,.there will be average differences right?


I tested the FZD CNF vs Nittaku Acoustic

Hurricane Blue Sponge same thickness and hardness


Results:


On CNF

On looping against topspin

CNF have an angle in protractor of 20 degrees before bouncing the table, and after bouncing the table, 12 degrees kicks to the opponent.


Looping against backspin

Before bounce: 15 degrees angle of arc

After bounce: 12 degrees angle of arc


Nittaku acoustic

Looping agains topspin

Before bounce:22 degrees

After bounce: 16 degrees


Looping against backspin

Before bounce: 20 degrees

After bounce: 20 degrees


So, in my opinion, CNF can really be spinny

Actually, I am looking for a super spinny blade in services, in pushes and loops.


I believe, I found 1 ply kiso hinoki and this cnf the spinniest. Only these 2 blades that I used with same rubbers, DHS H3,

that can produce spin on serves that can win points instantly on my level or can have weak returns, and

my pushes are making the opponent to error because of super heavy backspin

And loops that most of the time on blocks, the ball just flys or super high return.


What I dont like is, there is no or little vibration.

On hinoki, it's springy sometimes.


Can you share what you know? I am also wondering why my cnf or hinoki feels spinnier than ALLWOOD blade.


Is there any blade can match the spin of cnf and 1 ply hinoki but with vibrations or feel?

 

[Colestt]

Something thick but soft. There was a butterfly multi ply hinoki like this...I forgot the model/player.

Also could be one of a few thick balsa I've tried.

Oh yeah Jonyer
