You can't just substitute a composite layer with a wood layer, it doesn't work like that. Composites have far better mechanical properties than wood, this performance/weight relation is very important. Furthermore, wood is a orthotropic material, this means that most of its strength it's along...

Starting the year with something new: S-ALC. Compared to regular ALC, it has a different weave pattern, all the blue stuff is placed horizontally while all the carbon is placed vertically, which results in more stiffness but with more ball penetration. In terms of playing properties that...

That's great, I wasn't sure you were going to like it because it was designed for a different playstyle. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk

Outer fiber blades with Ayous cores aren't really that common on the market. Adding to that we have a mixture of straight and conical handle with a squarish profile and the "Dicon" slots. The forehand side has a rounded bevel that better fits the thumb, while the backhand side as a normal bevel...

I'm not getting sucked into one of your meaningless arguments. All I'm going to say is that your analogy is very weak and it only shows you don't understand the subject at all. My answer is above, either agree with it or not, I don't care. Merry Christmas! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk

The reaction parameter on the Butterfly matrix is most likely linked to the fist vibration mode (bending along the longitudinal axis), and it's directly proportional to the stiffness of the blade along the major axis. More stiffness -> less dissipated energy -> bigger reaction. This mode has...

A 5 ply all wood blade based on a Acoustic. The handle is just slightly flared, not wide, but thick and with a squarish profile so it feels chunky in the hand. Almost a mix between a ST and FL handle. Available FS. - Limba / Limba / Kiri / Limba / Limba - 83.4g - 5.9mm - 157x150mm - FL...

This is a solid and relatively stiff 5 ply all wood blade. However, it is built mostly for spin rather than speed, due to the thick and soft outer plies. Available FS. - Ayous / Ayous / Ayous / Ayous / Ayous - 96.6g - 6.9mm - 158x152mm - ST (101x28.5x23mm) - 1290Hz - Balance: 3.0cm (Med)

Khaya, or African Mahogany, is a nice solution for someone who wants something between Limba and Koto in terms of feeling. It's just not very popular on commercial blades because the amount of natural pores, makes it a difficult wood to work with. This blade offers a precise touch and decent...

The Viscaria handle isn't a pure flared handle, it's a bit chunkier near the wings and then it flares out towards the bottom. This one is purely flared, but not with a pronounced curve, I usually make it thicker and rounder.

The Basswood I'm using is from Europe, also known as Linden. The density is about 480 kg/m3, between Ayous (380 kg/m3) and Limba (550 kg/m3). In terms of hardness is very close to Limba. The Mahogany term is very loosely used, myself included. There are only 3 types that are considered "genuine...

Neither of those blades is like an inner Viscaria or an outer w968. Most inner fiber blades on the market use an Ayous core, outer fiber blades use a Kiri core. Kiri is softer and lighter than Ayous, so on outer fiber blades that balances the feeling caused by having the fiber close to the...

Why get angry? This is a step forward, it will open new horizons in blade making. Wood is wood, it gives a different feel than any (current) composite layer can offer. Classics never die, and whoever prefers the all wood feeling will still do in the future, so that niche is protected. Of course...

This blade is based on the Donic Defplay, no not the two modern versions, the really old one with the white lens. The owner of the original blade wanted something a little faster and with more stability, so we decided to add a soft-carbon layer next to the core. He loved it so much that he...

No, the previous handle was agglomerated cork, what I said was that it had been subjected to some severe routed and sanding, and it held up Ok. This one is solid natural cork, if you look at both you can see the difference, it behaves just like a solid piece of wood.
