  2. Rakza 7 vs Butterfly Rozena (BH)

    For a BH stroke, bend your knee, get low and upper body forward. Then think of it like throwing a frisbee… Cheers L-zr
  3. Rakza 7 vs Butterfly Rozena (BH)

    If a stroke with Europe DF is too difficult you won’t like either, go with Mark V or similar… Cheers L-zr
  4. All about blade sealing

    Yes it must be old then… bad luck. Now leave it and will harden eventually then sand it with an 800 paper and do it again with a thin layer of laquer, fresh one and it will look glorious. But do NOT sand it until it has hardened. It may take months.. Cheers L-zr
  5. All about blade sealing

    Btw for your purpose I would just put a couple of layers of raw linseed oil on it. It will make it last forever… it will be protected moisture and allowed to breath at the same time. On boats you should laquer the outside and oil the inside if you want them to last… Cheers L-zr
  6. All about blade sealing

    So the sealer is to old or contaminated. It normalt is resistent to dust within 2 hrs but it needs -24 hrs to set properly. This depends a little bit but roughly… after 24 hours it’s hard enough to paint on. After 2 hrs it should be ok to put a second layer on. In the old days we called that wet...
  7. All about blade sealing

    It is not about penetration. I suspect you glued before the sealer has cured … Either this or you have used something very old. Cheers L-zt
  8. Is there a way to save this blade after a “minor” accident?

    Fill in those cracks, there is a risk that the glue will catch there and rip again. Cheers L-zr
  9. Top 5 annoying practice partners

    I rarely get annoyed, because in my club everybody tries their hardest in training sessions. Can’t really get annoyed then. But I love playing against a good blocker. Cheers L-zr
  10. Is there a way to save this blade after a “minor” accident?

    That’s big enough to fit a peice of ply wood actually. If you go for the sawdust I suggest do it in stages and let it dry in between. Cheers L-zr
  11. Upgrading Xiom vega Europe DF

    Never played with G1 really, Only on friends racket. I wasn’t too impressed , but I don’t remember it to be bad. I now definitely prefer Hybrid MK… Cheers L-zr
  12. Upgrading Xiom vega Europe DF

    Longer arc, A faster rubber generally has a longer arc. It depends on what your hard is. Vega Euro DF is more forgiving until it bottoms out then it’s not forgiving at all. Rakza 7’s top sheet is harder than Vega Euro DF’s. The hardness will be a little awkward in the beginning but after 3 - 4...
  13. Upgrading Xiom vega Europe DF

    To get good speed with hurricane you have to hit really really hard. The blue sponge has a higher ceiling, but you have to hit so hard to reach there I am not sure it’s with it since the orange sponge is nicer on softer shots. If you are used to Vega Europe DF it’s going to be a massive...
  14. Upgrading Xiom vega Europe DF

    Faster with more spin but it’s harder so a little less accessibility… Cheers L-zr
  15. Single Ply hinoki blades

    The fact that it is a single connected unit of the same material. No glue barriers etc… My gut feeling says that tighter lines grow slower and it should be higher quality, but the species also matters… Cheers L-zr
  16. Upgrading Xiom vega Europe DF

    The rubbers you mentioned are much harder than your Europe DF. The softest one of them is Rakza 7. It’s a great “do everything good” rubber…. Cheers L-zr
  17. All about blade sealing

    I use it all the time, no warping or swelling yet. Use it on all wood projects. You shouldn’t drench the blade… Raw linseed oil is better but boiled is fine too. The oil prevents the wood from drying and wood that is too dry splinter easily … If you apply it to an axe handle on the “end...
  18. Is there a way to save this blade after a “minor” accident?

    Fair enough, but once you learn there is no experiment necessary. I use wood glue all the time and the sawdust is a waste product… Cheers L-zr
  19. Is there a way to save this blade after a “minor” accident?

    Yes that will work the same way as the mix sawdust wood glue. The only thing with this method is that you will have a lot of raisin that will go to waste, But it works… Cheers L-zr
  20. Is there a way to save this blade after a “minor” accident?

    Let me tell you I patched my Primorac carbon after sone serious rips with just varnish. It took 10+ layers . I don’t recommend this, it increased g to he weight by 5 grams but except for this it was perfect, It was right in the middle of the hit zone… Cheers L-zr
