This one is Bubinga.

1415Hz is still very high for 3mm. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk

I haven't tested it, but it basically felt like a trampoline just bouncing a ball on it. Yet, surprisingly it didn't feel that hard, the Hinoki outer helps to preserve some softeness, and I'm also careful with the lamination process. But the blade is still extremely stiff, so the ball will leave...

3mm of Carbon? You just need a 20mm blade and it would be legal! (Although it would have to be divided in 10 layers) Personally I wasn't trying to achieve anything with this blade. The original concept came from another blade and it was the owner's vision, I just executed it. For this one the...

Remember a video I posted a while back of the fastest blade I've ever built? This is it. Not my first time making this composition, but this one has some minor changes to manipulate the weight so we could accommodate a bigger head size. - Kiso Hinoki / SZLC / Ayous / ALC / Balsa / Carbon /...

Not an ugly bunch, 3 combi blades and a cyber thingy Combi - Koto / AxC / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / Limba - 5.7mm - 76.1, 76.8 and 77g - 1313Hz - Balance: 2.7, 3.1, 2.9cm Cyber - Koto / AxC / Ayous / Kiri / IC / Ayous / Limba - 5.7mm - 82.6g - 1380Hz - Balance: 3.3cm

It's a partscaster I built. It started out more a of beige color, but it has aged into a nice yellow.

With the World Championships just around the corner, I decided to make a Portuguese themed blade. The composition is based on a Freitas ALC, popular among our players, with an handle design that takes inspiration from the playing jerseys. Available FS. - Black Limba / ALC / Ayous / Kiri /...

My first Jpen - Hinoki / AxC / Kiri / AxC / Hinoki - 84.5g - 6.6mm - 1744Hz - Balance: 3.3cm

Hide glue is sensitive to water, that's why it's used in instrument building, because the bond is reversible. Acoustic guitars tend to warp as the years go by, due to the tension of the strings. That changes the initial neck angle and decreases playability. So, they inject steam in the neck...

If LYJ played defense - Limba / SZLC / Ayous / Ayous / Balsa / Willow - 84.0g - 5.9mm - 1205Hz - Balance: 3.3cm (Med)

With 5mm only, this blade should be slower than it is. Sure, you have the Sucupira and Ebony outer plies, which are two very dense woods and give it a solid feel, but it's not just that. There is some more mojo at work here, but I'm not going to get into that [emoji846]. Available FS. -...

A very fast asymmetrical 5 ply blade - Hinoki / Rosewood / Kiri / Hinoki / Rosewood - 93.6g - 7.25mm - 1500Hz - Balance: 3.1cm (Med)

Japan is the only association that has approval for blades, so if you want to compete legally in Japan, the blade must have the JTTAA stamp. It's not related to the quality of the blade, it means an approval was bought for that specific blade model.

- Koto / AxC / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / AxC / Koto - 92.1 and 92.2g - 5.7mm - 1485Hz - Balance: 2.4cm (Low)

Perhaps I'm going to sound very arrogant, but I'm looking at this from a different perspective, so I have to call it like I see it. I don't see any special skill or craftsmanship, in fact I find the whole process very clumsy. Of course this doesn't mean those blades can't play great, just...

Correct.

Have you ever seen a gigantic Vis? Well, now you have. This behemoth is 170x163mm, so you have plenty of hitting area for chopping away from the table. The large head size slows the blade down when compared to a regular head size, but it's still a reasonably fast blade. Bonus tip: It can also...
