  1. ITTF Racquet Control Changes for 2025 (...don't shoot the messenger!)

    For those who don't know (but might potentially care), the ITTF have changed their racquet control procedures going forward. I just read through the changes... ..... and now my brain hurts -- a lot!🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 I mean the guidelines were pretty bloody extreme before, but now they're BEYOND loony...

  2. Serial Numbers On Blades: Yes or No?

    Howdy folks. Got a quick straw poll for you all. For ages now I've resisted the urge to put serial numbers on my blades. Rather than number them like a mass produced item, I far prefer to treat them more like artworks and just personally sign each blade once they're done. Furthermore, as I...

  6. Do any pro players out there use one ply blades?

    Was just curious how many (if any) pro / national level players out there currently use a one-ply blade during competition (be it kiso, cedar, ayous or something else entirely). I love the feeling / feedback from my one-ply blade and honestly don't notice much of a speed/ spin deficit compared...

  7. Why is the ITTF trying to remove wood from a blade?

    Attention all my fellow small blade smiths / blade makers... it's time to get angry. At its upcoming AGM, the ITTF are going to vote on radically loosening the rules around blades... and I mean radically. Under the new proposed rules, there will be no requirement to use timber in a blade at...
