  1. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    This time, the Butterfly Timo Boll W5 blade with a broken handle came in for repair. Most Butterfly blades I've seen don't have cavities in the handles, but not this time. The cavity is very large and takes up most of the blade, leaving almost no body. The fracture occurred in this weak spot...
  2. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    Thanks, I'll have to try it.
  3. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    I've been looking for a rubber for my forehand for a long time that wouldn't need a booster and would have the same characteristics as the boosted H3, including that low throw angle, but for now, this search continues...
  4. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    The trow angle of different rubbers is different. That's all.
  5. Stiga Kjell Johansson super carbon blade

    He would probably be pleased to see how much love we put into bringing the old blade with his name back to life.
  6. Stiga Kjell Johansson super carbon blade

    I haven't personally seen it, but we recently got a blade from that era for repair - a Stiga Erik Lindh. Those black and gold labels on the handle look absolutely stunning!
  7. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    We received a W968 blade for repair with a crack in the handle. We repaired it, but during the repair process, we discovered a 0.4 mm misalignment in the blade thickness! That's a lot. Near the handle, the blade is 5.5 mm thick (measured outside the repair area), and near the edge, it's 5.9 mm...
  8. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    Hello everyone! Since we receive many blades of various designs for repair, I'd like to share with you their photos and factual technical specifications. We also sometimes have questions about why the manufacturer designed something the way it did. Perhaps you guys have some insights. Well...
  9. Playing in cold halls

    I also noticed that not all balls work equally well in a cold halls - some break down quickly

  11. An exhibition of blades made by Ukrainian craftsmen

    The legendary Fantômas is back! We created this blade using only Kiri wood, which has a low density and weight. The surface is covered with hard and incredibly heavy eucalyptus, allowing the blade to penetrate even the hardest rubber and accelerate balls at maximum speed. Another interesting...
  12. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    I've been wanting to try Turbo Blue for a while, but the weight is intimidating. How much do your rubber weigh when cut? In principle, I have a blade with a very low balance and a small head (150x157mm), I could try PC This post is exactly 1000 on this forum. It's probably not a coincidence...
  13. An exhibition of blades made by Ukrainian craftsmen

    Hi, Lodro! I used the Jupiter 3 in black and red, both at maximum thickness and 39 sponge hardness. There's a slight difference between them—the red rubber feels stickier and produces more spin, but on the Harmony, there was a noticeable difference.
  14. An exhibition of blades made by Ukrainian craftsmen

    This blade is from the Flight Line series. The classic five-ply construction limba/limba is reinforced with soft carbon. In short play, the blade is controllable and feels like solid wood, while the soft carbon makes a real difference in powerful shots - the ball flies faster and the return is...

    Another asymmetric Harmony, this time with a limba surface, straight handle and lighter weight. Blade Parameters: Speed - Off-/All Composition - 7 layers, 5 wood, 2 carbon. Head Size - 158x151 mm Weight - 81.7 grams Thickness - 5.8 mm Handle - Straight 30x23x102 mm Balance - average Frequency -...

    The frequency is the same on both sides, but the ball's bounce height is different, when you hit a ball on a blade without rubber, and this is much more noticeable on the koto than on the limba (we did Harmony with limba on the attacking side, I'll send some photos later). There are also...
  17. An exhibition of blades made by Ukrainian craftsmen

    This is a combination Attack/Defense blade from the Harmony series. It allows for powerful forehand attacks and reliable backhand defense. On the attacking side there is a fairly hard koto and powerful carbon immediately below it, on the defensive side there are two soft veneers and soft carbon...

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to share some photos of the blades my dad and I made together.
  19. [DIY] The "Stradivarius": A 1300Hz Cybershape made with True Violin Woods (Maple/Spruce) & Hide Glue

    Start doing it, and the results of your work will begin to give you advice :-)
  20. Importance of the blade handle (handle grip) over the actual blade

    It's best to use 0.5-0.6 mm thick ayоus veneer. In my experience, this thickness is usually enough. If it's not, you can easily add second layer of veneer. Balsa is very soft and will definitely change the overall feel of the blade.
