#1378 - Asymmetric - ALL+/DEF Another asymmetric blade, but this time with a more defensive style in mind. The Bh side has no fiber, as some of the blades I posted lately, but I used a combination of cork and balsa to make it as dampening as possible and still retaining a woody feeling. I also...

The second paragraph was related to a completely different situation, I was replying to the comment that golden_son made about using a composite layer as the "core".

That was a coincidence 🙂 . This handle was only born because I made the mirrored one for a customer (blue outside, yellow inside). I would compare it more to a slighlty slower Freitas, but it doesn't matter anyway, it has been sold 😅.

#1371 - Outer IC - OFF-/OFF Not the first time I put one of these here, a controllable, spin oriented outer fiber blade. Medium stiff, soft, stable and with a linear response. Available FS. - Limba / IC / Limba / Kiri core - 86.1g - 5.9mm - 157x150mm - FL (100x25.0-23.5mm) - Balance: 3.0cm (Med)

I'm working on order 123.

Someone heard you, it's gone 😅

1335Hz. If I do recall correctly, yes it is faster.

#1366 - Asymmetric Inner/Inner - OFF- Another asymmetric blade but this time with a more offensive pedigree. The Bh side is based on a Rossi emotion, it has a slightly harder feeling but at the same time a bit slower. The Fh side is softer, but it has more speed potential, so you get more power...

The stable feeling in a blade doesn't come from the outer ply, it comes from the medial ply and core. The Violin uses White Ash outer and medial layers, which is a fairly hard and stiff wood. The blade you tried probably had a nicely dense core too. This all adds up to what you described, but...

#1367 - Asymmetric Inner/Outer - OFF/ALL+ No, it's not the same blade as the previous one, but we can consider it its big brother. The philosophy and structure are very similar to #1359, but I wanted to make it slightly more offensive. As I always say to my customer, we cannot fully isolate the...

#1359 - Asymmetric Inner/Inner - OFF-/ALL This is an asymmetric blade, made with a specific playtstyle in mind: chop blocking with SP on the BH to create an opening, then finalizing the point with the Fh. The Fh side was designed more for smashing/driving, rather than looping, so I used a dense...

#1353 - 5 ply - OFF- Another experiment, this time with tension. Tension in a blade is usually a big no no, if the structure isn't fully symmetrical, a small force imbalance is enough to make the blade warp. As such, this is a very delicate process and it would be totally impossible to...

#1340 - Inner AxC - OFF+ "Aren't inner blades supposed to be slower?" Well, not always 😅. I wanted to make something stiff and fast but with a soft touch, without the use of Hinoki wood. Available FS. - Ayous / Spruce / AxC / Kiri core - 88.3g - 7.4mm - 154x148mm - FL (100x23.0mm) - Balance...

Ok, there are two separate situations here. The premise was to make the core as stiff as possible, which was achieved. The other situation was to see the influence of said core on the speed and feeling of the blade. It's not that it failed, it is what it is, it's just that my expectation was...

Thanks! The blades I have for immediate sale are on my website (everything gone at the moment). My regular work is commissioned, you can check my prices on the website as well.

#1298 - 5ply - ALL+ Not all experiments go as expected, but there is always a lesson to be learned... I wanted to make the core as stiff as possible, and see its effect on the blade. It does not get more "inner carbon" than this, the carbon in this blade is literally in the core, to achieve...

Top row: 60g/m2 Kevlar / soft-carbon / 200 g/m2 Glassfiber / 160 g/m2 Carbon / 120 g/m2 Kevlar / 1K Carbon / AC-I Bottom row: ALC / AC / Vectran-Carbon / ZLC / Izanas-Carbon / Ay-C / S-AC / S-AyC Without pictures I cannot help with your problem... Axylium is just their name for a Aramid fabric...

You are correct, in my head I just read "pre-stressed" but you did use the term pre-tensioned. Pre-stressed concrete has two categories: pre and post tension. I just defaulted to post-tension... Anyway, it's a delicate balance. If you successfully tension the fabric, it wants to return to its...

The pre-stressed concrete analogy doesn't really apply here. In a pre-stressed beam the tendons run inside of sleeves. Their are tensioned before the concrete is poured, then capped at the ends and released after the concrete has cured. This creates compression, making the concrete stronger...

Not ignorant at all. It's the wood, I veeeery rarely do joint top plies, actually I think I've only did it once.
