This was supposed to be a blade for a member here. Well, he changed his mind but I liked the ideia so I decided to build it anyway. It's a popular composition koto/spruce/ayous, but made with hide glue. The result is a relatively fast but very solid 5 ply, no hollow feeling. Composition...

There are not a lot of blades on the market with the core at 90 degrees. The only one I know is the Tibhar Lebesson, there could be others. So I wanted to try that. There are also not a lot of blades with Kevlar fiber, I wanted to try that too. For me this blade plays like a child of a Viscaria...

Thank you bobpuls. It's really means something coming from you.

Not really, there are still millions of players out there that don't have an SDC Blade :). Thank you for the compliment.

A custom request for a "N301" type composition and specs. Larger head size (160x150mm), 102mm handle and a customized logo. Koto/Limba/ALC/Ayous/ALC/Limba/Koto - 93.5g - 6.0mm - 1460Hz

Another combi blade for a defensive player, with a faster attacking side. Limba/Carbon/Limba/Ayous/Ako/Limba - 85.3g - 5.4mm

Thank you fanoftt. Yes I measured the frequency, it was 1270 Hz. I was asked for a w968 composition with great dwell and feel, that reading tells me that the goal was accomplished.

Another request, a "W968" inspired composition but with a thicker handle. Limba/Limba/ALC/Ayous/ALC/Limba/Limba - 93.0g - 5.85mm

My first combi blade: Limba/Basalt Fibre/Padauk/Balsa/Ako/Padauk - 77.2g - 6.30mm

Hi SFF_lib, can you please reply to my PM? Thanks

Thank you bobplus. It plays great, I was looking to step down a little in speed, this blade plays in the ALL+ range but with a solid feeling. Great control and spin potential without feeling hollow.

Another experiment, this time with a more exotic handle made of purple heart and wenge. Spruce/Ako/Kiri/Ako/Spruce - 89.2g - 5.60mm - 1230Hz

Unfortunately the little time i had the blade in my hands didn't allow me to reach any conclusions, and now the blade is sold. I will try to get some feedback from the player who bought it.

An experiment with a Viscaria type composition but with 160 g/m2 carbon instead of ALC. Ayous and purple heart handle. Koto/Carbon/Limba/Kiri/Limba/Carbon/Koto - 83.0g - 5.75mm - 1320Hz

Where are they sold yogi?

Ok, I should also have said expensive.

Thank you Carl, that is a nice explanation.

Can someone recommend an alternative to H3 37º? They are very hard to find.

Well, at first i got them from Aliexpress just to experiment but now i buy them here: https://www.castrocompositesshop.com/pt/

2 custom blades for a friend of mine The first one is "Apolónia" inspired, but he wanted something a little faster and harder. He also wanted the Portuguese flag in the handle. Limba/Anigre/ALC/Ayous/ALC/Anigre/Limba - 93.0g - 5.95mm - 1370Hz The second blade is "Ovtcharov TC" inspired...
