  1. Xiom new collection (2026)

    Speaking of handles, I was interested in the Indeed/Artemis series and TT11 was able to provide me with measurements: I asked if Artemis series had the same dimensions and they confirmed it. Not a big fan of all these small handles...
  2. Inside the Handle - Various blades

    Update: My goal was to change the balance point without significantly changing the weight. To accomplish this, I used wood glue to place a penny in each of the scales to shift the weight down while only adding 5 grams (wood putty could have been double/triple that). I also wanted more vibration...

  4. Inside the Handle - Various blades

    Yup, it was on a Youtube video. Notable side effects: “Loss of some color in handle” and “ swelling of fibers in blade, but this is temporary if you only did it for 10 minutes or less”
  5. Inside the Handle - Various blades

    Yo! I saw a video where you can boil a blade handle to remove it. I tried it on three blades with interesting results: Avalox P500 had a solid handle, but the scales were extremely hollow, making it very head heavy. I wonder if this is why Swedish blades (some Yasaka and Stiga) feel so hollow...
  6. Blade Review: Xiom Hayabusa ZL Pro

    It could have been any combination of factors. Balance, weight, handle, etc. I loved looping backspin with this blade, but you did have to put a little more forward energy into it than a Viscaria. That is to be expected with slower blades, but overall you should be able to do any shot using the...
  7. Joola Tronix CMD - Short Review

    It's a really good backhand rubber, but it does have a somewhat low throw angle which can take some time to adjust to. It's angle is dissimilar from the Vega Europe or Baracuda, for instance. The spin and speed are amazing though, so once you adjust your control will soar. What are your...
  8. FS: SDC Blade - Similar to OSP Virtuoso Off-

    OSP and SDC are both artists in their craft. @SDC has is a gem in the community of custom blade makers. Hats off to all of them! OSP works for some people, but for others who need a little more specifics, or a cool handle, Sergio is the man. Sucks about tariffs to the US, but nothing to be done...
  9. FS: SDC Blade - Similar to OSP Virtuoso Off-

    €80 + €14 shipping = €96 PRE tariff era. €96 -> $110 plus ~ $80 for tariff and shipping has also gone up to ~$42. If you were in the US, this same blade could cost you $200 ($96 base price + $42 shipping + $80 tariffs). $100 is a pretty good deal in comparison. I also really wanted that big...

    1) OSP Virtuoso base price = €115, SDC 5 ply blade = €80 2) OSP has established sizes for handles. Varieties yes, but sizes not so much. Custom handle = €36 from OSP. SDC makes whatever handle shape you want as part of the price.
  11. FS: SDC Blade - Similar to OSP Virtuoso Off-

    1) Virtuoso is VERY expensive, especially if you live in the US. SDC was less expensive pre-tariff era. 2) Virtuoso tends to have small handles. I wanted a big one.
