  1. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    I'm all up for innovation, and this could be in fact a great thing, we won't know until we try it, right? But to me, it just feels they are selling snake oil, none of their claims makes sense. "We kept it light due to German manufactured Carbon" No, you kept it light because you are using a...
  2. SDC Handmade Blades - Some Impressions / Short Review

    247 tabletennis just posted a review of a work I did for him, changing the damaged top ply of a DHS Long 5 from Limba to Ebony. Go check him out 🙂 - @247tabletennis The link to the review: https://www.instagram.com/p/CVt7m4fBvl1/ And I'll post it here too for those that don't have Insta: My...

    A 3+2 blade with ALC. Stiff, fast and with low trajectory, but a soft touch that provides great control. Sold. Composition: Hinoki / ALC / Kiri / ALC / Hinoki Weight: 80.7g Thickness: 7.2mm Freq.: 1570 Hz Balance: 2.8cm (Low)
  5. SDC Handmade Blades

    This blade was somewhat based on your's. While the ALC is softer than the A-C we used in your blade, the high density carbon had a prominent feeling. This might be good for the pips side, but I think it also affects negatively the inverted side if you are looking for a little more arc. He as...

  8. Darker 5 CNF

    I would love to, unfortunately I still couldn't get my hands on it.

    No offense taken, I just thought he was a bot... Besides, there is no such think as bad publicity, right? 😁

    One of the sides is convex like an anatomic handle, the other is slightly concave like a flared handle. Here, this should help:
  11. SDC Handmade Blades

    This is a light and fast blade with a relatively soft feel (considering it's a composite blade). The low balance facilitates the use of the wrist, so it's suitable for playing an aggressive close to the table style. But the main feature of this blade is the semi-anatomic handle, if you don't...
  12. Darker 5 CNF

    And you won't because Butterfly doesn't disclose the composition of their blades. Any composition you see out there will be unofficial, and most of them, especially the ones you find on the blades database, are inaccurate.

    AfroBro is a reliable source, trust what he says.
  14. SDC Handmade Blades

    Typical inner fiber blade, but with a small difference. We decided to use thinner outer plies, and a slightly thicker core on this one to improve the speed. This worked as expected, but it actually made it a bit too fast for the owner (we already solved that 🙂). The Flared handle shape is also...
  15. SDC Handmade Blades

    Just a simple 5 ply with an Olivewood handle. Composition: Limba / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / Limba Weight: 82.8g Thickness: 6.3mm Freq.: 1313Hz Balance: 2.7cm (Low)
  16. SDC Handmade Blades

    It isn't, I have some stuff I need to update but I haven't had time yet. But I do have a note explaining I can get more stuff other than what's on the list. Purple Heart is also very heavy, around 905 Kg/m3, so between Wenge and A. Rosewood in terms of density, but same janka as A. Rosewood...
  17. SDC Handmade Blades

    Commissioned blade. Fast, very fast... Composition: Purple Heart / SZLC / Koto / Balsa / I-C / Limba / A. Rosewood Weight: 92.3g Thickness: 7.5mm Freq.: 1750Hz Balance: 2.8cm (Low)

    The medial ply is the one that contributes the most to the type of feedback we get in our hand. Relatively speaking, the second option will feel more solid, bigger sweetspot, less vibration and feedback in the hand. The first option will be the opposite, it may in fact feel too mushy depending...

    I have a similar blade just a few posts above, part of the 5 blades series. That one is Hinoki 0.6 / Hinoki 1.0 / Ayous 3.0. It's not a rocket launcher but it has got some speed, your suggestion would be a bit slower. I also have another one even further back, one with the "dotec" handle, that...
  20. SDC Handmade Blades

    The handle was made with Amazon Rosewood, Cherry and endgrain Padauk with a Ebony cap. Don't ask me what the tag says because I can't remember [emoji28]. The owner is out there, maybe he can chime in? It's not a very fast blade as is, it's gonna be even slower if we removed the I-C. It would...
