hello everybody ! I made a search and didn’t find any topic about all the proposition of OSP Blades.
I discover this trend 8 years ago. I had already heard about it but didn’t try myself. When the plastic ball came in, I was reaaaally annoyed 😥
All my game is about spin, trying to close service and return in order to place heavy topspin and finish the point after. And I struggled very hard to be used to this new ball…
OSP saved my game ! The first thing I can tell about these blades is that they allow to put very heavy spin on the ball. When I picked my first OSP blade, a Ultimate, it was a liberation for me. I could finally play like I always did !
Of course, as long as I was training, I have been able to get used to this f… ball after all. But the first light in the dark really came from OSP.
I bought several blades from OSP after, depending of what style I wanted to play, more controlled, more offensive… I even had a defensive style period… I always could fine a OSP to fit my game. Now I am back to the blades I have always loved, 7 plis wood blades similar to Clipper, DHS 506 (played it 5 years before OSP) : OSP Ultimate 2, or Martin AC (aramid carbon outer).
The blade on the photos is the one of my son, a Cpen Origo which is the one-to-go blade for beginners or allround players (my son is 10). I let you look at the astonishing quality of handcraft… and all the blades give its level of quality, not only the more expansive ones.
I want to be clear : I am not endorsed, I am a intermediate level regional player in France, nor am I payed by OSP. Robert Palatinus, the OSP boss and worker, became a friend along the years, because of my loving his work, because of his constance on quality, and because of his sympathy. So I talk about his work on forums… he really deserve it ! And he gave me confidence to organize « test tours » of his new blades, here in France.
Then, I have good knowledge of his blades, fabrication, different models… you can ask me if you have questions !

I hope it is allowed, don’t wanna make advertising, just create a place where we can talk about this trend.😉
