Weight: 82.8g
Thickness: 5.80mm
Freq.: 1250Hz

The Padauk and the Wenge (I think?) look beautiful together - very well done!

On the other hand, Tomentosa tends to be heavier, and I have pieces that are even denser than Ayous.

"Shimmer" - One of the blades I most enjoyed building lately. The owner had a clear idea of what he wanted, so all I had to do was to make it happen. The blade has a composition based on a Tibhar Techno Power Contact, a combi blade that offers a bit more control on the BH side. Very comfy AN handle with a "notch" on both sides to facilitate twiddling the racket.
Composition: Limba / Cherry / Ayous / Ayous / Limba
Weight: 92.2g
Thickness: 5.5mm
Freq.: 1100Hz
Balance: 2.0cm (Very Low)

Question: the word order implies that the handle is Asymmetric. I think it is the ply construction that is asymmetric though. Is it the handle, the ply construction or both that are asymmetric?Quote:

What would be the purpose of the handle shape? Did the person requesting say?
