Ukrainian blades

[merlin el mago]

I have attached a graph where the peaks of these frequencies can be seen...

Yes but I'm sure is a bad or wrong measurement, it's impossible both sides with so high difference using the same wood in all veneers....

I'm not sure why the Gorrila blades have two frequencies when the rest show one, can you explain what the two figures relate to? Thanks.

All blades exhibit multiple frequencies; it’s just that with Gorilla, the second or third frequency is more pronounced than the majority of offensive blades.

Here is an example of a factory-made Xiom Ignito blade with three very distinct frequencies.

Is this a different frequency when the ball is bounced on a different part of the blade?

No

So is not FH side 1800 & BH 900 for example right?

No, it doesn't matter which side you strike the ball on, nor whether you hit the edge or the center. Different blades simply produce different frequencies because they vibrate differently. Our "analog" ears cannot pick up every frequency, unlike the microphone and a digital analyzer, which "senses" an increase in the loudness of certain frequencies.
That said, there is a genuinely good analog method that really works:

PS. It looks like a joke, but it really works—especially when you need to pick the fastest or slowest blade from among several identical ones.

Now all makes sense because your post was not clear, thanks.

Amidst the sounds of explosions and while I still have power and internet access I am putting up this post...
We have finally created the second defensive blade in the FantoHyuk series!!!
In crafting this blade, we drew inspiration from the legendary BTY Joo Sae Hyuk. While the construction is similar, the materials differ. The result is a massive sweet spot with a consistent bounce, a reliable feel for controlling the ball with long pips on the backhand, and a powerful counter-attack capability on the forehand.
It has a smaller head and weighs less, the handle is also slightly shorter and smaller than that of the first blade, which I will post next.
Blade specifications:
Type: Modern Defensive;
Composition: 7 layers - 5 wood, 2 carbon;
Surface: Black Limba;
Head size: 155 x 161 mm;
Blade thickness: 5.8 mm;
Handle: ST 28 x 23.5 x 106 mm;
Weight: 93 g;
Frequency: 1172 Hz.

And this is the first blade from the FantoHyuk series, which I am currently playing with myself.
Blade specifications:
Type: Modern Defensive;
Composition: 7 layers - 5 wood, 2 carbon;
Surface: Black Limba;
Head size: 156x165 mm;
Blade thickness: 5.8 mm;
Handle: ST 28,5 x 24 x 107 mm;
Weight: 99 g;
Frequency: 1172 Hz.

And this is a blade from the Palanyca series, crafted exclusively from Ukrainian wood and featuring a metal Tryzub (trident) embedded in the end of the handle. The surface is made of ash, while the handle is crafted from thermally modified ash. This blade turned out not to be particularly fast—clocking in at just 1230 Hz.

Beautiful! I love how the thermo ash adds a really nice contrast without needing dye.
