  1. Andro Legacy Wosik - Initial Thoughts

    I wanted a 5 ply blade that wasn't too flexy and had a Koto outer. That's surprisingly rare, so when Andro released their Legacy Wosik, I was excited. So far, it's a great quality blade for the price. Specs: Headsize - 157x151mm Handle size - Square ST 23x28.5mm Thickness ~ 5.8mm Balance -...
  2. Inside the Handle - Various blades

    Yo! I saw a video where you can boil a blade handle to remove it. I tried it on three blades with interesting results: Avalox P500 had a solid handle, but the scales were extremely hollow, making it very head heavy. I wonder if this is why Swedish blades (some Yasaka and Stiga) feel so hollow...

  6. US Based Custom Blade Maker

    I am in the USA and with tariffs in place, it is tough to get a custom made blade from overseas. I was looking around for US based blade makers, but haven't seen many. Charlie (blades by Charlie) retired, and Ross Leidy doesn't seem to be very active either. I want a simple but specific all wood...

    Specs: The uncut weight of a 2.0 sheet is 68 grams. The surface is very grippy and the pimples are not visible through black or blue sheets. It feels like a 45-47.5 degree hardness rubber. Closer to the 47.5 mark. Playing: Used on a Xiom ZL Pro. In both MAX and 2.0 on both FH/BH at various...
  8. Joola Rhyzen Ice - Rubber Review

    Joola Rhyzen Ice - Review Specs: The uncut weight of a MAX sheet is 68 grams and 64 grams at 2.0 mm. The topsheet and sponge don’t feel as soft as the Tronix CMD or Xiom Vega Europe. The sponge feels closer to Donic Barracuda (45 degrees) and the topsheet is also somewhat hard, but does not...

  15. Looking for Xiom blades!

    Yo! I’m looking for a blade with similar balance, feel, and accuracy to the Tibhar Samsanov Pure Wood, but with more dwell time. I’ve heard great things about the Xiom Diva and Offensive S, and wanted to try one out. If you have experience with one of these blades and have one to sell, DM me...
