The rules state a blade must be "continuous" and having a pocket of air in there sure isn't continuous.
How about what the rest of the big time players in the industry do to reduce or change vibration with their "Technology" that si accepted for official competition?
BTY VSG - any old time remembers they inserted a CARBON TUBE and RUBBER inside the hollowed out handle.
ANDRO KINETIC - Fill the stuff halfway with beads that move
SUPER CORE - hollow out the blade handle and add in hard foam
STIGA TUBE - leave cut slots in the blade and mill in different metals right into the inner wood layers of blade face
DHS or 729 or some company in China - TRANSFORMER - insert a screw and nut into hollowed handle adjustable to move weight up or down (maybe the only "good" factory mod I saw.)
I don't recall any riot getting started to ban blades with these technology so what would be the big deal filling in the empty space in a handle with the same stuff the blade is made of or previously accepted as a norm in the industry?
Donic also had a blade with a adjustable weight in the handle.. Cant remember the name..
