How a blade deflects is really important, you mostly have longitudinal deflection or flexibility, and out-of-plane deflection which can also be perceived as hardness. Here they are represented separately, but they happen simultaneously: An all wood blade is mostly linear in terms of physical...

One man's garbage is another man's treasure 🙂. Not that this blade was garbage, it just wasn't the rocket launcher he was hoping for. I'm glad you are making good use of it.

People keep using the diving board analogy likes it's a great one, but it's not. For a diving board to function properly it needs to be calibrated to the user's weight, otherwise it will simply not spring back. "The spring constant of a springboard is usually adjusted by way of a fulcrum that is...

Thanks Antonlan 🙂

If Timo Boll was a girl 🙂 This one isn't particularly soft, I would say it sits in the middle of the hardness spectrum for this kind of composition. However, it's fast, crisp and very stable. Available FS. - Koto / ALC / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / ALC / Koto - 88.2g - 5.7mm - 157x150mm - STSQ...

I'm not an expert on Vintage blades so I can't help. I think you should open a new thread and ask. Maybe Magic_M can help you.

That can be done, although it would be hard to do it in a Clipper composition. Clipper is already a heavy composition, adding two ALC layers would make it almost unplayable. One blade that comes to mind that is close to that is the Donic Waldner Senso Ultra Carbon, but it uses soft carbon which...

This one was a challenge, based on a Nostalgic allround but with all the bells and whistles. - Wenge / Ayous / Ayous / Ayous / Wenge - 5.8mm - 85.0g - 1290Hz - Balance: 2.1cm (Very Low)

Der, there is so much more to a blade than just the composition... I'm not giving away all the secrets! 🙂

I'm calling this a defensive blade, but it's not a slow blade by any means. It's a variation on the Nexy JSH blade, but with Koto top ply instead of Ayous. This makes it a more demanding blade to play in the defensive department, but you get more offensive capabilities. It will also suit an...

These blades were 156x151mm, just as the owner requested. I have made many combi blades, you need to be a little more specific. Perhaps it's easier to scroll through my Instagram and see what's on there.

Thanks Harald! They don't serve any specific advantage, it just makes it a bit more comfortable for the user, if that's his preference. Personally I prefer a normal flat thumb rest.

A 7ply based on a Gauzy SL, and its 5 ply equivalent. The handles have a big anatomic shape with rounded thumb rests.

This time I'm using the owner's photos, along with a little feedback from him "Apparently it looks so colorful and innocent, but it's quite powerful with aggressive arcs"

Thank god 🙏. I should make a thread about that...

Another one based on a Zetro Quad but with a few changes, Cypress instead of Hinoki and Spectra instead of Zylon. Cypress is the best Hinoki substitute I have, it's a little heavier but shares the same elasticity and softness. Spectra also shares some traits with zylon, they are both very tough...

Sometimes it's not easy to achieve such a balance, depending on the composition and desired weight range, but the preference has definitely been a low balance.

To the best of my knowledge, fibers like Texalium aren't really Aluminum , but Aluminum coated fabrics. I'm not sure if there are real aluminum fabrics out there, but I think they would be too heavy to use in a blade. Anyway, I already have so much stuff, I never really had the curiosity to try...
