  1. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    1-ply wood hinoki Blade Armstrong Castellian made in Japan. To avoid what happened in the photo, be very careful with these blades. By the way, there was a surprise here too. For some reason, the weight decreased after the repair, even though we didn't do anything to reduce the weight. I think...
  2. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    I don't know why, but we used to think of the Xiom Stradivarius as a budget alternative to the Viscaria. After repairs, it turned out they're completely different blades. The first difference is the cavities in the handles and blade itself. The second difference is the completely different...
  3. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    OSP blades has never been sent for repairs, Nittaku blades have been sent, but of different types, so there are no statistics yet. I was surprised by the Xiom Stradivarius blade, which I plan to write about soon.
  4. Setup smelling off, sort of gasoline smell

    The gasoline will evaporate over time, but your rubbers will become harder. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It'll probably be more fun to play with gasoline :ROFLMAO:.
  5. Setup smelling off, sort of gasoline smell

    Gasoline doesn't damage wood. Before gasoline-based glues were banned, we used to re-glue our rubbers before every practice, which was Monday through Friday, and we had no problems with the wood. As a blade repair technician, I can say that nothing damages a blade more than the owner's unruly...

    The frequency changes as the blade size changes. As the blade size decreases, the frequency increases. By the way, the speed in the game also increases, but control (may the BrokenBall forgive me), in my opinion, decreases.
  7. Ukrainian blades

    The thing is, we make each blade to each individual's specifications. When ordering, we discuss all the blade parameters the player is interested in. Accordingly, the composition and thickness of the layers will vary from player to player.

    By the way, I once got my hands on a Mishima Viscaria clone. That blade was incredibly stiff and extremely difficult to spin, but the blocks were like reinforced concrete :-). So we reduced the chord from 92 to 89 mm, and it became much more enjoyable to spin.

    The chord is the width of the blade at the end of the handle. The smaller the chord, the more the blade bends, and conversely, the larger the chord, the less the blade can bend. Changing this parameter by a few millimeters can greatly affect the playing properties of the blade.
  10. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    I've been struggling with a question for a long time. Maybe you guys can help me with it. We often receive the popular Viscaria blades for repair. I always thought they should all be made to the same standard and have the same geometric dimensions. But that's not actually the case. All the...
  11. Ukrainian blades

    And this is the continuation of our series asymmetric blades - Walnut Harmony. The peculiarity of this blade is a small thickness of 5.45 mm. This gives hight sensitivity and control, but walnut with carbon gives lively acceleration on the attacking side and two softwoods also a long dwell time...
  12. Ukrainian blades

    Another offensive blade with an innerforce structure and a light limba on the surface, which we made for my friend. This blade is non-linear, meaning it plays slowly in short, passive games, but when accelerated, it can create a fast ball with lots of spin. Blade Parameters: Speed - Off/ All...

    Another asymmetric Harmony! This time with an anatomical handle and a koto on the attack side. Another feature of this blade is the use of veneer to protect the ends of the blade. The owner of the blade says that the veneer end gives a sharper feel. Despite its relatively thin size, this blade...
  14. Palio Energy 03 comparison with Allwood Blades?

    And this is the same "carbon", which is not carbon at all, although for this price it is normal :-)

    I want to like this post, but I don't want to spoil these statistics
  16. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    I tried to try hybrid rubbers before, but thanks to our neighbors, this winter it was difficult to do - there were no windows in the hall after the arrival of russian missiles and drones, there was no electricity and heating again due to the massive shelling of the energy infrastructure of my...

    This time, the Butterfly Timo Boll W5 blade with a broken handle came in for repair. Most Butterfly blades I've seen don't have cavities in the handles, but not this time. The cavity is very large and takes up most of the blade, leaving almost no body. The fracture occurred in this weak spot...
  18. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    Thanks, I'll have to try it.
  19. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    I've been looking for a rubber for my forehand for a long time that wouldn't need a booster and would have the same characteristics as the boosted H3, including that low throw angle, but for now, this search continues...
  20. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    The trow angle of different rubbers is different. That's all.
